Homemade Face Cream Recipe with Aloe Vera

 

Homemade Aloe Vera Face Cream Recipe

My face takes a beating during the winter months as I’m constantly out in the wind and frigid temps doing chores and taking care of animals. I’m so excited to try this aloe vera face cream recipe that Noelle from Coconuts and Kettle Bells is sharing today. Enjoy!

I’ll admit it:

I used to be a total sucker for step-by-step facial cleansing systems adorned with fancy price tags. Even after switching my diet over to real foods, making my own moisturizers and cleansers seemed confusing, complicated, and a tad bit “out there.”

And then, I finally did some investigation on what I was rubbing into my skin, and common sense hit me. In fact, after ditching my conventional cleansing system and switching to cleaning my face with coconut oil, my chronic dry skin disappeared, and the hard white bumps I had experienced on my cheeks and chin since high school completely cleared up.

The reality is, our skin is our largest detoxification organ, and what we put on our skin is absorbed into our body, and affects our skin’s health and integrity. This is why it’s incredibly useful to have moisturizers on hand that use natural and nourishing ingredients, like this DIY Aloe Vera Facial Moisturizer.

And bonus! It’s also super affordable, leaving extra funds for other important things – like food, water, and cute shoes.

Homemade Face Cream Recipe with Aloe Vera

(This post contains affiliate links)

Ingredients:

1 cup aloe vera gel
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 tablespoons jojoba oil
1.5 tablespoons beeswax pastilles (Can also use 3/4th of a 1 oz bar of beeswax, diced finely or grated)
5-8 drops essential oil like lavender or geranium (optional)

Directions:

Heat coconut oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil in a modified double boiler, stirring occasionally to make sure contents combine.

Once liquid, pour mixture into glass blender and allow mixture to completely cool (about 1 – 1.5 hours.) Once the mixture has cooled, take a spatula and scrap down the sides of the blender to loosen the contents.

Turn blender on low and slowly pour aloe vera gel into the mixture, stopping occasionally to allow contents to combine.

If contents get “stuck” in the blender, continue to scrap down the sides of the blender and whip mixture by hand until light, fluffy texture forms.

Once aloe vera has been mixed in, blend 5-8 drops essential oil into lotion.

SPECIAL REMINDER! It’s incredibly important to allow mixture to completely cool in blender before adding aloe vera gel. Also, you’ll get the best results using a natural aloe vera gel. Aloe vera juice or homemade gel will not work the same.

Notes:

  • This DIY Aloe Vera Facial Moisturizer is good for all skin types. However, before using it, it’s best to test it on a small area of your skin for at least 3-4 days in a row prior to regular use.
  • YES! Coconut oil is fantastic moisturizer for your face and body. Studies show coconut oil significant improves dryness, and does so better in comparison to other oils because of its antibacterial and emollient effects.[1][2] It’s also been found to improve skin hydration and lipid barrier function, and reduce skin infections.[3] Preliminary research also suggests coconut oil may improve collagen cross-linking and increase antioxidant enzyme activity, and may be an effective treatment for certain types of acne, including Propionibacterium acnes.[4][5][6] Check out Coconuts Oil for Skin Care: Everything You Need to Know for more information and instruction about how to incorporate coconut oil into your skin care routine.
  • There is no such thing as one size fits all skin care. While coconut oil is completely safe, and has no reported reactions or allergenic effects, it’s best to test coconut oil on a small area of your skin prior to using any new coconut oil skin care protocols.
  • This is an incredibly powerful and effective moisturizer because is combines the emollient effects of coconut oil, and the occlusive effects of jojoba oil with aloe vera, which is a humectant. Humectants draw water from the air to your skin, while emollients and occlusive agents smooth the skin’s surface, and prevent water loss through the skin.
  • You’ll want to store a small amount of this moisturizer in a jar in your bathroom, and keeping the rest of it in the fridge so that it will have a longer storage life. You can expect to get about 3-4 months storage life from this recipe.
  • This recipe was adapted from Frugally Sustainable.

    Jill, once you look up the moisturizing effect of beef tallow on your skin you’ll never look back – the best ingredient I’ve ever used after a life time of the upscale stuff…we make ours mixed with sesame oil, coconut oil, and almond oil but you can just use without additives, warm it up and rub it in…you skin drinks the beef tallow in completely….but you can only use grass fed and finished fat. One of the most bio identical fats to our skin there is.

        Margaret – measure your beef tallow by weight or by volume and use a ratio of 40% beef tallow to what ever mixture of oils (liquid at room temp) that you’d like. You can add any essential oils as well. This should give you a mixture that is not solid. If it’s too stiff, just remelt on low heat and add more oil. We use this as the family body butter….at my age (66) I use just the tallow on my face and hands. You do smell like McDonalds for a short time but that disappears. But the results are stunning. I get random compliments on my skin a lot.

          Hey MaryAnn, I am having the same issue with adding the aloe – it isn’t blending great, and smooth – sort of a grainy texture. Did you find out anything on what to do to make it more creamy: Was it the aloe?

            I too am having a struggle getting the mixture into a smoothe cream consistency. I have cooled the fats, added the aloe a little at a time on slow blend. It just doesn’t emulsify. I have even put it back in the blender from my jars and blended it again. I just get a smaller curd like ‘cottage cheese’ in liquid.
            I notice that several other people are posting this question but I don’t see any answers at all.
            What can be the cause of the problem?
            Please can we get a response to this question ASAP?

            I have made this recipe several times now and I LOVE it so much! At first I was using my vitamix to blend everything as suggested, but it would take so long and it was really hard to get it all out. The best method I have found is to leave the first 3 ingredients (coconut oil, jojoba oil, beeswax) in the bowl you melt it in to cool completely. Then, add your aloe vera directly to this bowl and whip with a hand held mixer (make sure to use the whip vs. beaters) and it comes out AMAZING, luxurious and so smooth in just a couple minutes. It is so much easier to transfer to your storage container as well, vs. trying to scrape it out of a blender.

        Hi Marisa! Actually, coconut oil has been found to be an incredibly nourishing moisturizer. Studies show coconut oil significant improves dryness, and does so better in comparison to other oils because of its antibacterial and emollient effects. This was covered under the “Notes” section – and the studies are linked there. This does not mean it works for EVERYONE – as everyone has different skin. So, if it makes you feel more dry, it may not be the best option. This recipe combines the emollient effects of coconut oil, and the occlusive effects of jojoba oil with aloe vera, which is a humectant. Humectants draw water from the air to your skin, while emollients and occlusive agents smooth the skin’s surface, and prevent water loss through the skin.

      It’s the same for me. I know CO works well for most ppl, but for me it actually dries my skin out AND makes me break out. It kinda sucks since there are SO many diy beauty and toothpaste recipes out there where CO is the main ingredient and sometimes other oils don’t work the same in the recipe. Oh well, that’s life sometimes. ?

    Coconut oil doesn’t work for me. It breaks me out but I think everyone should try it to see if it works for them. If it doesn’t work for you, sunflower, macadamia, and olive oil are great and for me personally, do not make me break out. I use them straight however, so do not know about blending them into a cream.

    this looks like a nice recipe but it does need a preservative because aloe vera gel is mostly water. really, you can only keep products with water in them for up to 2 weeks in the fridge before they will spoil. the microorganisms that develop in your cream will not be visible to the human eye for quite awhile because they are microscopic. by the time you do see nasties growing in your cream it has unfortunately long gone bad. the nerdy farm wife did a great post comparing a lot of different methods of natural preservatives. on her FB page she now recommends using a combination of Leucidal Liquid SF and AMTicide Coconut to protect against bacteria, yeast & mold.

        May 20, 2017 at 2:06 am

        Hi Tania,

        Unfortunately, that doesn’t work due to something called water activity. As I understand it water activity means the water in the aloe vera gel doesn’t stay in just the aloe vera so the entire formulation needs to be preserved. The preservative in the aloe vera is only enough to cover the aloe vera but not the whole formulation. As I mentioned above there are some natural options for preservatives.

        Also, Lotioncrafter sells an inexpensive microbial test kit for home use so that could be good to get for a better idea of any cream or lotion’s shelf life: http://www.lotioncrafter.com/microbial-test-kit-lotioncrafter.html

I have yet to be able to whip the melted and cooled ingredients with the aloe mixture. It simply will not happen. I’ve tried using the blender twice and my Kitchenaid with the whisk once. I’ve used two different aloe vera gels just in case, which is becoming quite expensive as aloe is not cheap. I’ve followed your instructions to the letter. Help!!!!

I have tried 10 different recipes , different products and ALWAYS the same result. it is not creamy but separated and sometimes a lumpy, bumpy consistency. However if u can look past the that and still use it melts down in hands as u apply and leaves your skin feeling amazing. And lets not forget it is way better for ur skin than chemicals. I hope this helps as I did not see a reply to your questions!

          Hi Melanie, You should use emulsifying wax NF instead of beeswax. This recipe contains water(in the form of aloe) and oils and only emulsifying wax can mix those ingredients. Indeed beeswax is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients in our history. Unfortunately, beeswax is not an emulsifier. Beeswax can’t mix water and oils.
          Note- The process of making this aloe cream would be different if you are using emulsifying wax.

      Try putting it in a stainless steel bowl and pop in the freezer for like half an hour until the top turns hard – just the top. Then use a hand blender and keep blending, it will turn into like a lotion, and then a fluffy cream. I had the same problem with other recipes and found this trick on line. I had been beating oil for hours and completely frustrated. This did the trick!

    I have tried this recipe from another blogspot and it didn’t work. Simple chemistry tells us that water (aloe vera gel) and oil (coconut oil and jojoba oil) do not mix unless there is some type of emulsifier in the mix. Simply heating, freezing, and whipping it up in a high-speed blender is not going to emulsify it. I also do not recommend using anything on your face that doesn’t have some sort of preservative in it. Even if it’s vitamin E oil or a little honey to stay all-natural. Now, with all of that being said, beeswax is not an emulsifier. Period. You can buy organic emulsifiers from places like Bulk Apothecary or Brambleberry. They also keep it vegan sans the honey. That is why most who are making this recipe are not getting it to turn out right. I do honestly wish more would do some actual research before they put something on a public site like they are an expert.

    Replace the beeswax with emulsifying wax. Water (aloe vera) and the oils don’t mix they need to be emulsified. Made this and it is a bit thin, it has thickened after putting into small jars.

    Last year I made Aloe and coconut oil and I got a perfect mix. This year I made the same mix and it came out like cottage cheese and when it cooled it separated. Maybe some years there is more water in the Aloe sap then other years.

    I replaced the wax and really like this one. Aloe vera is really great.

    Coconut oil is one of, if not the most, comedogenic oil you can put on your face. If you have acne, I don’t recommend it. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find a DIY face cream recipe that doesn’t include coconut oil. Smh. If you have one, please post! Coconut oil makes me break out like a teen. Just smelling it I can already feel the sore pimples popping up lol

      Sophia, Use jojoba oil, castor oil, almond oil, shea butter or any combination of the above (to the same quantity) – it works as well and won’t make your pores block. I don’t like Coconut oil for the same reason

    I love to use homemade recipes to pamper my skin as these are always best for skin care. This aloe face cream seems easy to create. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.

    for all those who are having hassles getting this to emulsify properly: it is like making homemade mayonnaise (except you’re add ing the non fat to the fat) the trick is to add the aloe slowly and whip, a bit more and whip etc. Do this and it will emulsify beautifully – too much at once and it gets that sort of curdled look (aside: this isn’t really a problem as you rub it in your hands and it does the same thing. You won’t look back making this for yourself. I added Juniper, cedarwood and sandalwood oils to mine (as I am male, floral essential oils are not really my thing for everyday use – use these and your husband will use your moisturiser – it smells like a good barbershop. I live in Canada and with minusdegree windy weather for four months of the year, you have to use a good moisturiser or you start to look and feel like a saddle 🙂

    oh yes… I don’t like coconut oil on my skin as it IS comedogenic and gives me breakouts – I used jojoba oil and castor oil in equal parts to make up the same amount, and it is great

    I have made this recipe several times now and I LOVE it so much! At first I was using my vitamix to blend everything as suggested, but it would take so long and it was really hard to get it all out. The best method I have found is to leave the first 3 ingredients (coconut oil, jojoba oil, beeswax) in the bowl you melt it in to cool completely. Then, add your aloe vera directly to this bowl and whip with a hand held mixer (make sure to use the whip vs. beaters) and it comes out AMAZING, luxurious and so smooth in just a couple minutes. It is so much easier to transfer to your storage container as well, vs. trying to scrape it out of a blender.
