Hi everyone welcome to Sherri‘s Heavenly Apothecary. I m Sherri. Today I’m really excited because I’m continuing the self-care And I am making my luxurious moisturizing face cream. I am all out and am in dire need of it! Although I formulated this recipe to target my skin needs; dry, mature, problematic/rosacea, I found that my daughters in their 20s and friends in their 30s with flawless skin actually love this cream! I believe that is due to the luxurious oils used. They are fast absorbing and act as a make up primer, so this is a great under make up daily moisturizing cream with a luxurious skin feel. I hope you will give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

And further, here is the recipe as promised:
Water phase:
160 g distilled water - *infused with 3 tablespoons each of dried rose, petals, and organic oats
*To make the rose pedal and oats infusion, place the Rose petals and the oats into a tea strainer. You can also use a muslin teabag or a piece of cheese cloth tied together and poor distilled water over it and let it steep a minimum of 15 minutes. Strain and measure out 160 g.
4 g vegetable glycerin - place this into the hot distilled water after it is all measured out.
Oil phase:
6 g almond oil
18 g jojoba oil
10 g Rita SCG/emulsifying wax
1. Measure the water phase ingredients according to the directions above if you are using the rose and oats infusion into a glass or heat safe container.
2. Measure the oil phase ingredients into a separate heat safe container.
3. place the water phase and the oil phase containers into a double boiler (a saucepan with 2 inches of water simmering) and heat up until both are approximately 160°.
4. Hold it 160° for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Once the water and oil phases approximately 160° remove from the heat.
6. Pour the oil phase into the water phase, (or whichever vessel is biggest you will poor the smaller contents into the larger contents).
7. Blend immediately for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, to ensure emulsification of the oil and water.
8. Let’s stand uncovered for about 15 minutes to cool down. Then blend again.
9. Let cool down until 120° or under, (100° if using Leucidal Liquid), and then add your cool down phase ingredients; preservative, essential oils, and vitamin E, or any other additive you are using. In this video this video I used one Super Primrose by Now brand.
10. Mix cooldown phase thoroughly to combine and jar in desired containers. Preferably glass. Store in a dark dry cool place.
Shelf-life is approximately 3 to 6 months. If it lasts that long. 😉
Thank you for watching. I truly appreciate it!
