Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2015
- This homemade skin cream smells amazing and absorbs quickly to leave my skin feeling so soft and hydrated, I love it! It's free from all nasty chemicals, you can make it completely organic and personalise the fragrances to your tastes, it's also sooo much cheaper than bought skin creams with the same quality ingredients!
Lavender & Vanilla bean Face Cream
- 1 1/2 tbsp wax www.iherb.com/frontier-natural...
- 1/2 cup distilled water
- 10 drops lavender essential oil www.iherb.com/now-foods-essent...
- 1 tsp drops calendula oil
- 1 tsp vitamin e oil www.iherb.com/rexall-sundown-n...
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 tbsp almond or avocado oil www.iherb.com/now-foods-soluti...
- 1/2 vanilla pods beans
Melt the oils and wax together. Pour into a blender and allow to cool to room temperature -choose a cool place in the house to do this - then add vanilla beans and put the blender on high speed. Drip the water in slowly over a couple of minutes and then you will notice it thickens into a nice cream. Pour into clean dry jar/s and store in cool dry place X

Just a quick tip: I've been making homemade face cream for years and I never use water because it shortens the shelf life tremendously. I use aloe vera gel (or juice) instead, which is a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal. Plus, it is super healing to the skin.
+Jensen Kho Vitamin E oil and aloe are both natural preservatives, as well as many essential oils, but you can also use benzoin gum too. It won't last forever, but my homemade creams last for several months in my bathroom.
+Semi Veg Thanks for this tip!
Isn't aloe Vera gel water based??
+Valeria perez Not if you get 100% aloe. I have an aloe plant and just scrape out the gel from that, but you can also get 100% aloe from the store too. I mean if you want to get technical, every plant or fruit or vegetable has "water" in it, but since aloe itself is antibacterial, then the creams you make with it will not mold nearly as fast.
I'm deathly allergic to Aloe Vera.. What else could I use?
I've been making this recipe for about 8 months now and it is GREAT!!!!! I just use vanilla essential oil instead of lavender as I am not a fan of the smell. Even though it has water in it, each tub lasts for ages. And a little of the product goes a LOOOOOONG way. Over summer it liquifies, but that's fine, and in winter it solidifies. My friends all love it and I personally think it is the best moisturiser I have ever used. Ela's recipes inspired me and after a fair bit of research I am now making and selling my own range of natural skincare products. Big ups to Ela for her channel. I too am a Kiwi and I make sure to source all my products in New Zealand and make sure they are all ethical suppliers. I go organic as much as I can. I like supporting local and 'buy kiwi made'. The locals in my town also support me and they have now started stocking some of my range. From little acorns, mighty oak trees grow. Thanks Ela for your inspiration.
Congratulations! I hope lotion making goes well for you! ♥
how long does each batch last for you? I was worried about it going rancid fast.
what kind of wax do you use?
I'm just gonna be honest right now... I don't think I've ever actually tried making any DIYs, not because I don't want to, I REALLY WANT TO, but I'm just too lazy to go buy the ingredients or even order online... I'm a lazy bum! BTW, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!
Esmerelda Amaya I actually like doing this stuff but the ingredients are quite expensive and some are even hard to find in my country :c
I have made almost all of her like really all of them and only spent a total of about 50 dollars I know that sounds like a lot but really for making all of her things it's worth it I love her products and use them daily
Hopefully, soon enough, I will stop being lazy and actually purchase what I need and DO IT MYSELF!!! :D
You are my Savior, because I'm looking for a more natural life, away from chemicals. I follow you! thanks
This is the first time I've ever been on Ela's channel but looking at all her videos and the products she uses, I know instantly that we need more people like her in the world...😊😇
That is AWESOME!!!!! Well done Ela! Can't wait to try this!
This is amazing! I really have to try making my own, not only because of the amazing benefits but it seems so satisficing actually using products you made. Thanks for the great video xx
Oh I am so excited for this video! I made your green tea moisturizer with shea butter and almond oil and absolutely loved it! I use my hand mixer and it worked better for me than the blender and less messy! You could also use a rosewater, hydrosol, or witch hazel for distilled water
I just made a batch of Calendula Oil from the plants in my little garden. They are really putting out this year!
I always love watching your videos because you seem like such a sweet, genuine, down-to-earth person :)
in the 4yrs iv been making natural products incl lotions iv never thought of using my old blender.. thx Ella 🏵
Vanilla is my favorite scent too!
Woo hoo! I have all the ingredients (including my own EVOO infused Calendula) to make this today. I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it💃🏻
😉 Saw what you did there.
I've been using cold-pressed, unrefined, organic coconut oil with a few drops of lavender on my skin for years. It's light and nourishing for the skin and the lavender adds the de-stress our skin requires daily. It smells wonderful. I've been told by many I look 20 years younger than I am. And no wrinkles yet. I just found your channel and have subscribed. 😚
Great easy recipe, I enjoy your videos. Will try this recipe out.
Thank u for the video. This is amazing!!! I tried it out and it felt so hydrating for my skin. Thanks! 😘
Wow thank you for sharing I am definitely going to try it I will let you know how it turns out again thanks for sharing
I love your videos so much I don't want to watch other ones but yours thanks so much I'm trying to make some products for my mom she loves natural products!
Calendula is my favorite herb and amazing for eczema or any skin issues. I infuse oils with it and make it into teas. I'm trying to grow my own this year :)
Awesome! I've been wondering how to emulsify oils and water to make a lotion without buying an emulsifier. This is what I've been looking for!
LOVE It! I tried to squeegie all I could off cuz I didn't want to waste any of it! I didn't have Almond oil so did some research and used Olive oil, and also didn't use that optional oil. It was a hot day so I used cold filtered water and it came out so nice. I don't have a blender so I used my hand blender (the one used for shakes) and it worked great!
Love this! I adore vanilla anything! Xoxo
Miss seeing you constantly on your videos. Such a lovely soul you are.
You always have this gorgeous ideas. ♥
One tip! Add the essential oils after the mixture has cooled ☺️❤️
Shannon Professional Aesthetician I know this comment is a few years old but hopefully you’ll get the notification.
by making it the way she has, the temperature of the mixture wouldn’t be high enough to effect the Essential Oils, but since water is being added, a preservative does need to be added into the mixture so bacteria doesn’t grow. I use CA/20 Emulsifier Wax + Oleoresin as my preservative Note: Vitamin E is not a preservative.
(water and oils must be the same temp to combine)
좋은자료 감사합니다 외국인 이 화장품만드는것 신선한 느낌을 전달 해주시네요
Just a wee FYI, vit e oil is not a preservative. It helps the other oils to stop going rancid but it won't preserve this product, it will have a shelf life and a fairly short one. I make a very similar one as a body lotion and I give it about 2 weeks :) I use it all in that time though!

Love your DIY videos especially! My problem is that I have trouble understanding what your saying and it is my problem I know. Your voice is nice and very soft and I turn volume up but it just muddles it so I'm very glad you leave such great instructions!
Hi Marilyn, ive had the same problem with other videos until someone pointed out the closed caption feature, CC its right on the same line as the play button, on the bottom right hand side, you just click the box that says CC and it will have the words at the bottom of the video so you can read everything she says, this works for other videos as well, its a great feature for def and hard of hearing people, it can also be clicked again to turn off the closed caption feature. hope this helps and bless you!
Hi Ela! I've just found your channel and LOVE everything you do! Thank you so much for all of your content! I've been looking for a good face cream and this seems perfect! I was wondering how this cream wears under make up and if you find it soaks into the skin well. Thank you! Cheers.
Omg The best channel in youtube.bc all of The youtubers donthe Same vids.and You do unique vids.love You
Keep up this way, I love your videos
Very very very very nice
video
thank you so much 💕
sooooo good
Thank you for the video. I was just wondering could I add Shea butter to this recipe ?
Can't get enough of your videos!
If you read a story for me before sleeping i will be so happy ! Your voice is so smooth and calm 🌼🌸🌒
Do you think you can make a video for a face cream with oils and aloe vera together? There are some videos around but I think you are really good at explaining! I did your green tea night cream(love it!), but I really want a day cream with aloe vera in it~ Love your videos
This looks amazing :) what wax did you use and could we sub in another oil besides coconut? Coconut oil breaks me out sadly :(
Happpy that I found your channel! Your voice reminds me ofCarly Cristman's) So calm and soft.
Thank you so much Ela.
May i ask is there a safe (not too expensive) natural preservative i could use?
without a preservative is it safe to keep it on my bathroom for 2 weeks?
If not how long is it safe to keep it?
love this video! im only 19 and ive been using coconut oil for everything since I was 15 I use it as a makeup remover and for my hair and for skin of course and for tanning outside because I found out how bad sunscreen can be for you skin and all the chemicals. But I absolutely want to try out this can you use it for your face and body or just face? and Why did you say in the video to leave out the calendula oil at the end of the video? please reply back...
Great recipe ! What blender do you use ?
THIS IS AMAZING THANK U
People on recipe and DIY videos really ask the dumbest questions. If there's something she uses that you don't like, then just skip it or add in another oil or scent. It's not that difficult.
Haha ikr! It irritates me almost as much as the people who ask "can I do this with a different color?" on makeup tutorials.
rachel ann NinjaBunbun For real lol. If I rolled my eyes for every time I read that question, they'd be stuck. Just do your own thing people. You don't like lavendar, use mint! Don't like bacon in your mac n cheese? Use something else you actually like. Just play with it.
suzballoon not that easy...people spend money on ingredients and they don't want to make a mistake. plus,different oil = different properties. mint as an oil can be much more irritating than lavender. so “just playing around“ may be a bit dangerous somehow.
Lions Alive I sort of agree with you, but sort of not. If someone is allergic to an ingredient, or that ingredient can't be found, and the video maker states the health benefits of that product, I totally understand people asking if something else has the same or almost the same health benefits that can be used.
We have the exact same jars😊
It looks so yummy! but how long is it going to last?
Hey Ela, so i want to make this recipe, but i cant find any wax in my area, and nor do i want to have to buy it online because shipping is expensive where i live, so if i left out the wax, would i also just need to leave out the water? Thanks, love your videos!
Hello there! First of all I wanted to say I LOVE your DIY and I have started DIY'ing everything for skin and hair care you are an absolute inspiration! I have a question about the wax you use in this DIY though. Can you use Beeswax? what kind of wax are you using here? also can I add Zinc Oxide to this as an SPF? please and thank you so much Ela! :D
your cream is great! I tried it but after two months bacteria destroyed it, do you recommend any antibacterial oil? thanks :)
I love your videos! But i think that this would make me break out like crazy! Is there any oil free or any lighter face cream or moisturizer u know how to make or recommend?
Can you make a diy natural face wash if you havent already? :)
Just found some Vanilla bean in my cupboard. Can't wait to make this (but I have to... all out of coconut oil :)
Yay! Your videos are so useful :)
Ela, can you please do a tutorial about colloidal silver. It can be added to cosmetics as a natural preservative, it is also a bacteria, fungus and mold killer. I'm not sure how to use it though and I can think of no better youtuber than yourself to make a tutorial about it. Thank you so much
Where do you get all those tubs and mason jars? You had some super cute ones in the diy hair set tutorial too
Hi el, thanks for such a great video 😄
M not sure that you are still answering questions on this video or not, but if yes, my question is that what is the shelf life of this cream as u have added distilled water and no preservatives in it, it won't spoil the cream at room temperature??
Omg im so in love with ur vid
Hi, thank you for video. I have one question. How long this cream can stay in fridge? :)
I used to use the lotion recipe from a different video you used to have up. And my skin loved it. It had a thicker face cream recipe, but the video is private now 😢 is there anyway you could share that lotion recipe with me? Thank you so much!
Can you use a blender stick instead of using the blender, is that a
4 oz jar , trying to see how much it actually makes. Love your videos:)
Great video btw
What essential oil could i replace the lavender oil with? I cant stand the smell of lavender but really want to try this cream out.
Hello dear Ella,
I wonder what I could use instead of the coconut oil- I know it has this special consistency and is much more solid than other oils, but my skin does not like it. Thank you a lot for this recipe, I definitely want to try it!
Kind regards from Germany,
Julia (on her boyfriends account,haha^^).
Can u make natural diy eye cream!! With options like which are easily available
what kind of wax can I use instead of beeswax ? I heard that it wasn't the best thing for emulsify water and oil for moisturising products as face cream
Love your hair :)
@kay dee thank you so much! ^.^
Would you make a video for natural skin care for acne prone skin
Can this be used for body cream as well? or is it strictly for the face?
hi xxxx
love your videos!!!
could you please do one on seaweed? 😃😊
I miss this inspiring girl so much...
***** can you do diy face serum or eye cream .do you have a recipe for diy liquid foundation
Vanilla cream! That's so amazing to make at home naturally. Can we use other ingredient instead of Vanilla Beans..? Because it's rarely available where I live. Any other ingredient which would add the vanilla fragrance? Please help.
do you need to have the calendula oil? or is it optional?
do you make this cream to sell it sound s wonderful
Any home made cheap recommendations for stretch marks?
You can also make some and add some cinnamon for color and make a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. 🥰
wow ❤
zelo dobra je tudi kosmetika perle bleue prav tako naravna in lepo reducira gube!
If you wanted to do just lavender, would you just leave out the vanilla beans?
your so beautiful and natural and prety I love your channel so much your the best UA-camr ever😗😙😘😍😚
Could I replace the wax for cocoa butter? By the way, I LOVE your channel girl!!!!! And thx for sharing this awesome diy!!!!!
I have heard that using water or distilled water the product is quickly damaged by what you need to add a preservative, is that true ?. How long does this cream?
You should highly consider starting your own natural line!!!
Fantazija ❤
Can i keep it for a long time ?
I will try this! but what I should do when I have Solgar, vitamin E, 1000 IU , how much I should put it in the creame? one capsule?
Pop the capsules into your spoon until you get your desired amount x
Nice
Can you use vanilla extract
She is so damn pleasant and clearly is a product of her beliefs
Hello
Can I use vanilla essence used in cooking and rose water instead of water?
no. vanilla essence for cooking has alcool
Your voice is beautiful
May i please ask which blender you use?
i have acne prone skin can i use olive oil?
So nature
when I used water in my lotion as it hardened a bit, the water sort of separated or sweated out of the cream. not sure what I was doing wrong..... have you ever tried rose water?
it has to be at the same temperature as the oils :)
does this work if I don't have calendula oil?
i want to know about wax? is there any substitute?
Mam is it suitable for sensitive skin?? & how much time can we store it ......whts d shelf life??
