This is a homemade recipe for anti-aging or anti-wrinkle eye cream you can make that is easy.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons of Water
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Elder Flower Extract(can be bought at nature stores, organic or online)
  • 1/4 cup of Avocado Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons of Almond Oil
  • 4 Teaspoons of Wheat Germ oil
  • 2 Tablespoons of Lanolin
  • 2 Tablespoons Glycerin
  • 2 Drops of Geranium Essential oil
  • 1 Vitamin E capsule (400 IU)
  1. Step 1

    Warm water and Elder Flower Extract in a Stainless Steel Saucepan to a simmer then remove from heat. Other types of pans such as Aluminum or Copper are reactive and the chemicals can react to food and water and sometimes omit a metallic scent to it.

  2. Step 2

    In a double boiler or a pan in a larger pan of simmering water add the avocado oil, almond and wheat germ oils. Stir in the lanolin until melted and remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Gradually stir the elder flower water. Stir in the Glycerin and geranium essential oil.

  4. Step 4

    Pierce the Vitamin E capsule and squeeze out the oil into the mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Pour into an empty eye cream container that has been sterilized (you can wash it in a dish washer in the utensil section or very hot water). Store in a cool dark place. The refrigerator is a great place to store it. I have provided a link where you can purchase Elder Flower. Just enter in your zip code or you can find it online along with other organic or natural ingredients
