🌿 Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient is chosen for its ability to restore, protect, and renew your skin from the inside out.

¼ cup Shea Butter: Rich in vitamins A & E, deeply moisturizes and enhances elasticity
¼ cup Coconut Oil: Locks in hydration, keeps skin plump and firm
2 tbsp Beeswax: Thickens the cream, creates a protective moisture barrier
1 tbsp Sweet Almond Oil: Nourishes with fatty acids, boosts skin resilience
10 drops Vitamin E Oil: Antioxidant powerhouse, supports skin repair and collagen production
10 drops Frankincense Essential Oil: Firms sagging skin, improves tone
10 drops Geranium Essential Oil: Enhances elasticity and tightness
5 drops Lavender Essential Oil (optional): Calms inflammation, soothes the senses

🔥 How to Make Your Natural Firming Cream

1️⃣ Melt the Base

In a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water, combine the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax.
Stir occasionally until fully melted. (Be patient — beeswax melts slowest.)

2️⃣ Add the Carrier Oils

Remove from heat and stir in the sweet almond oil and vitamin E oil while still warm.
Mix gently to blend.

3️⃣ Blend in the Essential Oils

Add frankincense, geranium, and optional lavender essential oils.
Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the botanicals.

4️⃣ Cool & Whip

Let the mixture cool for 15–20 minutes, just until it begins to set slightly.
Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip it into a light, fluffy cream.

5️⃣ Store Your Cream

Transfer into a clean, airtight glass jar.
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve potency.

🌸 How to Use Your Firming Cream

When to Apply: Right after a shower or bath — when skin is warm, soft, and ready to absorb.
How to Apply: Massage into the skin in gentle, circular motions to boost blood flow and enhance absorption.
How Often: Use daily for best results. Consistency + touch = transformation.

✨ Let this be more than just skincare. Let it be a love letter to your body. ✨
