This Organic face cream recipe is perfect for oily skin or sensitive skins. It is also suitable to all type of skin in the summer when we tend to produce more sebum. Kukui nut oil is definitely one of my favorite oil; I often use it pure and undiluted in the morning on my face.
The great thing about this face cream recipe is that it does not leave a greasy film and absorbs very quickly. For hundreds of years, Hawaiians have used kukui nut oil for its moisturising and healing properties. Lavender; geranium and frankincense essential oils are known to balance the skin and are perfect for oily skin…needless to say the rose scent is heavenly!

Hello, Eve! I am looking to make this recipe over the weekend. Do I have to add grapeseed extract or can I use grapefruit seed extract as a substitution. I also have the Leucidal* liquid preservative. Would any of this work.
Please advise!
Thank you
Ling
Hi Ling! you need to add grapefruit seed extract as a natural preservative. Sorry there was a typo on the recipe and its now corrected!
Have fun making homemade creams this weekend :-)
Hi Eve, do you have any recipe for all natural hair coloring specially to cover these stubborn gray which I can't seems to control..
Thanks
Hi Loida, yes natural henna is great!
This skincare formula sounds great. Could you substitute beeswax with anything else? I'm interested in trying to make this recipe with all vegan ingredients
Please I would like to ask if you have a certificate or. License in making skincare products.
I am a certified aromatherapist but do not have a licence for making skincare, its not needed since I use only natural ingredients.
Hi dear EVE
Thanks for your amazing recipes
What is your opinion about adding glycerin to recipe for "oily skin"? e.g is this recipe appropriate to hydrate such skin?
aloe vera, glycerin, rose water, cucumber juice and vit E cap
If yes, you think what is the reasonable amount and ratios for these ingredients?
Thank you
I would just use rose water to clean your skin. keep it simple to restore the balance, less is more.
use rosehip oil as a moisturizer, see recipe here: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/diy-face-serum-recipe-anti-wrinkles-with-essential-oils/
HI Eve, how much teaspoon of these products each will i combine to get a 2oz jar full?
12 teaspoons.
Hi eve,
I love your recipe so much id like to diy but please what is the natural preservation did you use?
Hi aya, 1 drop of organic grapeseed extract is a natural preservative. Some essential oils also helps with preservation but keep in mind this is a natural cream so best to make small batches, frequently.
Comment what is kukui nut oil
The Kukui nut tree is the official tree of Hawaii and has been used by natives of this island for hundreds of years. Kukui nut oil contains linoleic and alpha-linolenic fatty acids. This oil is easily absorbed into the skin
What can i use instead of kukui nut oil ?
Suggest you read this: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/substitutions-in-diy-beauty-products/
You could replace with any fast absorbing oil:
grapeseed oil
apricot kernel oil
camellia seed oil
safflower oil
Rosehip oil
Babassu oil
Baobab Oil
Hemp Seed Oil
jojoba oil
Moringa Oil
Perilla Seed Oil
