We will base our cream as two natural products with high moisturizing power: jojoba oil and nourishing action shea butter softens the skin.

10 drops of grapefruit seed extract
30 drops of essential oil of your choice (eg Rose, neroli, patchouli, which are essential oils regenerative virtues)
1 drop of vitamin E

Recipe:

1. In a double boiler, melt the beeswax, jojoba oil and shea butter.
2. Remove from heat, add rose water and whisk thoroughly until a homogeneous emulsion.
