Whatever you put on your skin will go into your blood stream. So please be aware of what you are putting on your skin. Here is a simple recipe for homemade moisturizing cream.
Ingredients
1 cup of organic coconut oil
3-4 tbsp vegetable glycerin
2 vitamin E capsules
1 tbsp grated beeswax
5 drops your favorite essential oil(optional)
You may also add some natural color if you like.
Preparation
Grate the beeswax with a cheese grater or with a peeler.
Take a small pan filled with half of the water and let it boil on a stove top.

2 vitamin E capsules
1 tbsp grated beeswax
5 drops your favorite essential oil(optional)

Preparation
Grate the beeswax with a cheese grater or with a peeler.
Take a small pan filled with half of the water and let it boil on a stove top.
Procedure
Take the coconut oil in another vessel which is smaller than the 1st pan.
Put this vessel inside the 1st pan in the boiling water.
Let the coconut oil melt.
Meanwhile poke the vitamin E capsules and add the oil to the coconut oil.
Add beeswax also to the coconut oil.
Then add glycerin to the coconut oil.
If you prefer to add any natural essential oil, this is the time to add. I did not add any in mine.
Give a stir.
Turn off the stove when the beeswax is melted.
Take the vessel out of the boiling water.
Keep the vessel in the freezer for fast cooling. Or you may put this vessel in the ice cold water. Then start whipping with a hand blender or do it manually with the help of a for. Do it until you get a nice creamy consistency.
Then store this in a container.
Helpful Tips
Maintain the cold water until you finish whipping. Or you can put the vessel in the freezer in between for a couple of minutes.
Health Information
This coconut cream will protect you from dry, itchy skin.
You may apply this to your skin, hands, legs even on your hair.
Glycerin is a good moisturizer.
Anything you put on your skin goes into your blood stream.
If you apply a cream with a chemical in it, that chemical goes directly into your blood stream through your skin. If you apply something that is beneficial for your skin that also goes into the blood stream. So why not put something good for the skin like coconut oil.
