Soothing Night Cream

At night while we sleep, our skin has plenty of time to rest and recover. A night cream can help with this, and of course you can make it yourself! Preferably with as many nourishing ingredients as possible. This deeply nourishing night cream is based on slowly absorbing oils and nourishing butters that support the skin barrier and protect your skin from moisture loss. In addition, chamomile water and elderflower water calm the skin and help reduce redness and irritation. Your skin will wake up radiant again. With the soothing scent of lavender, the spicy woody scent of Hinoki and the refreshing scent of sweet orange, you and your skin are in for a delightful night!

Instructions

1
For your information: We make 40 grams of this recipe because we need to set some aside for pH testing.
2
We will heat the ingredients in 2 phases. For this you need 2 measuring cups or 2 small melting pans. The 2 measuring cups can be placed in a pan with a thick bottom filled with 3cm of warm water. Suspend both melting pans over their own saucepan with water. Make sure the water is warm, but not boiling.
3
Mix the Chamomile Water and Elder Flower Water from phase A in a heat-resistant measuring cup or small saucepan.
4
Mix the Glycerin with the Xanthan Gum from phase C in a small bowl until a light yellow, transparent paste forms.
5
Mix the Shea Butter with the Baobab Oil, Castor Oil, Cetyl Alcohol and Vegetal Montanov 68 from phase B in another measuring cup or melting pan.
6
Heat both cups or pans until they reach 70 degrees. The water will take a bit longer than the oil. If one of the two gets too hot, remove it from the heat.
7
Once both mixtures reach 70 degrees, you can add the oil mixture to the water mixture while stirring. Stir well during mixing.
8
Now add the Glycerin with Xanthan Gum to the mixture and continue mixing with an electric hand mixer or mini food processor.
9
Now let the mixture cool while stirring until it is below 40 degrees.
10
Test the pH of your cream by mixing 1 gram of cream with 9 grams of demineralized water. Dip the pH strip into your diluted cream and check if it falls between 3 and 8. If yes, you can add the preservative.
11
Add the Preservative Eco from phase D to your cream and stir well.
12
Measure the pH again by mixing 1 gram of cream with 9 grams of Demineralized Water. The pH value should be 5.5 for skin. Is the pH too low? Then add a Baking Soda solution to raise it (90% demineralized water + 10% Baking Soda). Do this dropwise with a pipette. 10 drops is often good for a 0.5-1 increase in pH. Is the pH too high? Then do the same, but with Citric Acid (10% Citric Acid + 90% Demineralized Water). Make a dilution of your cream, 1 gram with 9 grams of demineralized water each time until the correct pH is reached.
13
Add the Vitamin E Oil and the Hinoki, Lavender and Sweet Orange Essential Oils from phase D to your night cream and stir through.
14
Pour your night cream into a 30ml glass jar.
15
Use the cream daily on your face in the evening or whenever your skin needs extra care. Apply the cream after aqueous serums and before oils, balms or butters. Enjoy a restful night and glowing skin in the morning.

Usage

Use as the final step in your evening skincare routine. Spread a thin layer on your face and neck and massage in well.
