Recipe Category: DIY, Beauty

Ingredients

Heated Oil Phase

55g Mango Butter
10g Shea Butter
5g Castor Oil
9g Jojoba Oil
5g Grapeseed Oil
15g Cornstarch

Cool Down Phase

0.5g Vitamin E Oil
10 Drops Frankinsence Essential Oil

TOTAL = 100 GRAMS

Instructions

Fill a pot with 1–2 inches of water. Place a heat-safe glass bowl on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Add heated oil phase ingredients into the bowl. Gently melt over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Once melted, remove from heat.
Now, add cornstarch and stir gently until everything is well combined.
Let the mixture cool slightly until it begins to thicken but is not solid, around room temperature or cooler. Or you can keep it in the refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes until the mixture becomes soft, thick, and opaque.
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture for 5–7 minutes until fluffy and creamy.
Now, add cool-down phase ingredients. Whip again briefly to incorporate.
Spoon into a clean, airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.
Lasts for 6 months since it’s an anhydrous (no-water) formula.
Always use clean, dry fingers or a small spatula to avoid introducing moisture or bacteria.
Apply whenever needed on a cleansed face.

Notes

1. Always do a patch test on a small area (like the inner arm) before using it on larger areas to check for any skin reactions.
2. Do not exceed recommended usage. Essential oils are potent and can irritate skin in high concentrations.
3. Avoid using if allergic to any ingredient (e.g., nuts in shea butter, cornstarch sensitivity, etc.).
4. Essential oils like frankincense should be used cautiously during pregnancy. Consult your doctor if unsure.
5. Avoid introducing water into the jar. Water can lead to bacterial growth, especially in preservative-free recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question	Answer
Is this face cream suitable for mature skin?	Yes. This face cream is made with nourishing ingredients that deeply moisturize dry, mature skin while helping improve its softness and overall appearance.
Can this face cream reduce wrinkles?	It won’t remove wrinkles permanently, but regular use helps keep the skin hydrated, making fine lines and wrinkles appear less noticeable.
Is this face cream good for dry skin?	Yes. Mango butter and castor oil provide deep, long-lasting moisture, making this cream ideal for dry and dehydrated skin.
Can I use this face cream every day?	Yes. Apply a small amount once or twice daily after cleansing to keep your skin moisturized.
Will this face cream feel greasy?	Despite containing rich oils, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and cornstarch help create a smoother, less greasy finish.
Can I use this face cream under makeup?	Yes. Allow the cream to absorb for a few minutes before applying makeup for the best results.
Why is my face cream too runny?	A runny face cream is usually caused by using too much liquid oil, not enough butter, or whipping before the mixture has cooled properly. To fix it, add 5 grams of shea butter, gently remelt the entire mixture until fully combined, allow it to cool until partially solidified, then whip it again until light and fluffy. If needed, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes before rewhipping.
Why is my face cream too thick or hard?	The cream may become too thick if it contains too much mango butter or if it’s stored in a cool environment. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before use, or reduce the butter and increase the liquid oils slightly in your next batch.
Is vitamin E oil good for fine lines?	Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports the skin’s moisture barrier. Well-hydrated skin often looks smoother, making fine lines less noticeable.
What are the benefits of frankincense essential oil?	Frankincense essential oil is commonly used in skincare for mature skin and helps improve the appearance of skin texture while providing a pleasant natural aroma.
How should I store this homemade face cream?	Store it in a clean, airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
How long does this face cream last?	Since this is a water-free recipe, it generally lasts as long as the ingredient with the shortest shelf life when stored properly.
Can I substitute mango butter?	Yes. You can replace it with shea butter or kokum butter, though the finished cream’s texture may vary slightly.
Should I do a patch test before using it?	Yes. Always perform a patch test 24 hours before applying the cream to your face, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using essential oils.
