DIY Coffee Eye Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
.5 oz. coffee infused oil
.25 oz. jojoba oil
.25 oz. rosehip seed oil
.75 oz. shea butter
.75 oz. cocoa butter
1/2 mL (about 10 drops) lavender volatile oil
3 drops chamomile volatile oil
5 drops vitamin E oil
To Make Coffee Infused Oil:
Coarsely ground 3 Tablespoons of whole (unflavored) coffee beans during a coffee mill . Combined the grounds with 4 oz. by weight of vegetable oil (or other carrier oil of choice) over low heat for about 15 to half-hour , then strain the oil using either cheesecloth or a filter during a pinch.
As I didn’t have cheesecloth handy, I improvised by taping a filter to the highest of a cup then poured the coffee and oil into the filter. Once the bulk of the oil dripped through I carefully removed the filter then squeezed the remainder of the oil out into the cup.
Instructions for creating DIY Coffee Eye Cream:
weigh out the shea and cocoa butter into a glass Pyrex cup . Heat within the microwave until melted, then weigh out the coffee infused oil, rosehip seed oil and therefore the jojoba oil and stir into the melted butters.
for each volatile oil , measure and add the chamomile and lavender essential oils and blend into the opposite ingredients. Finally, add several drops of vitamin E if desired and pour into your container(s) of choice.
This DIY coffee eye cream recipe yields approximately seven 10 mL or 1/3 oz. ointment pots or will fit into a 2 oz. container or jar.
Notes from the crafting kitchen: confine mind that my DIY coffee eye cream take a while to thicken. I’ve had products like this take each day or two to thicken at room temps and up to many hours to thicken fully within the fridge.Also, as I did return and experiment with various coffee options, note that using pre-ground coffee beans vs. coffee beans you grind fresh also because the intensity of the roast – light, medium or dark – will determine the ultimate color of your oil. Pre-ground and darker roasts make a way darker oil than grinding the beans yourself and selecting a light-weight roast. Also, straining with a filter over all other methods produces a way lighter oil with fewer coffee grains sneaking through.
Also confine mind that ingredients from different suppliers will yield slightly varying results. I don't recommend using oils from the grocery , but rather carrier oils meant specifically for cosmetics and soap making for the simplest results and a extended time period . For quality organic ingredients for recipes like my DIY coffee eye cream for puffy eyes.
