Homemade Face Cream Recipe with

Aloe Vera
 Share  Tweet  P13.2k

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 nally 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 (http://coconutsandkettlebells.com/how-to-clean-your-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 detoxi cation 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 af liate links)
Ingredients:
1 cup aloe vera gel (http://amzn.to/1Ww4ASM)
1/2 cup coconut oil (http://amzn.to/1Ww4vyL)
2 tablespoons jojoba oil (http://amzn.to/1Ww4mes)
1.5 tablespoons beeswax pastilles (http://amzn.to/1Ww49Im) (Can also use 3/4th of a 1 oz bar of
beeswax (http://amzn.to/1iZvaWp), diced nely or grated)
5-8 drops essential oil like lavender or geranium (optional)
Directions:
Heat coconut oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil in a modi ed 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, uffy 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
(http://amzn.to/1L2wKBb). 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
signi cant improves dryness, and does so better in comparison to other oils because of its
antibacterial and emollient effects.[1] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15724344)[2]
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19134433) It’s also been found to improve skin hydration and lipid
barrier function, and reduce skin infections.[3] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24320105)
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] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20523108)[5]
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21967555)[6] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2772209/)
Check out
Coconuts Oil for Skin Care: Everything You Need to Know
(http://coconutsandkettlebells.com/coconut-oil-for-skin/) for more information and instruction
about how to incorporate coconut oil into your skin care routine.
There is no such thing as one size ts 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.

Unfortunately, it won’t. I’m sorry! You’ll need to use aloe vera gel, not juice. Straight
from the plant makes the recipe watery and it doesn’t combine well.

Hello,
I’d like to prepaire this Aloe Vera face cream but I miss water from the ingredients.
Without water it’ll be very greasy this cream, wouldn’t it?
Beachspirit2 says
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 nished
fat. One of the most bio identical fats to our skin there is.
Margaret says
Can you please let me know your recipe for this cream using tallow? I have some
tallow and would love to use it in something like this cream. Thankyou!

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 nd out
anything on what to do to make it more creamy: Was it the aloe?
Gwen says
January 5, 2018 at 5:34 pm
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
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?

Extra virgin coconut oil is what I recommend.

Hi Marisa! Actually, coconut oil has been found to be an incredibly nourishing
moisturizer. Studies show coconut oil signi cant 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.

What am I doing wrong in making this Aloe Cream? I haven’t seen who has
made this successfully. I can’t seem to make the aloe cream, creamy or
whipped. It just looks like it isn’t anything special. Please, can you offer me
some help. I kindly appreciate it.

Try putting it in a stainless steel bowl and pop in the freezer until the
very top turns solid and then whip with a beater or hand blender. I
had the same problems with some other recipes like this.

skin out AND makes me break out. It kinda sucks since there are SO many diy beauty

Coconut oil is very moisturising for the skin. It is ‘dry’ only when it is made into
soap.

Danelle says
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, sun ower, 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.

Great options – Danelle! Jojoba oil is a great option too that works incredibly well for
sensitive skin.
Val says
Rosehip Oil would be an awesome option to your recipe! It has countless bene ts for the skin.
Thanks for sharing.

It would! I’m sure it could be used in place of the jojoba oil pretty easily! Great idea!

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 (https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/natural-preservatives-
for-homemade-lotion-and-cream/). on her FB page she now recommends using a combination of
Leucidal Liquid SF and AMTicide Coconut to protect against bacteria, yeast & mold.

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:

third time I even took into account the weather lol! It was cool and dry btw. 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

you are right ladies! u see all these pictures showing this creamy
moisturizer but I have yet to achieve it. 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!

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 uffy cream. I had the same problem with other

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
emulsi er 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 emulsi er. Period. You can buy organic emulsi ers 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.

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 nd a DIY face cream recipe that doesn’t

Just smelling it I can already feel the sore pimples popping up lol
