Benefits of Ingredients

# Hemp Seed Oil

As an incredibly nourishing oil for skin on many levels, it plumps the look of your skin, firms and tightens your skin’s appearance, and provides powerful antioxidant activity to help promote beautiful skin.

# Shea Butter

Rich in Vitamins A, E and F, Shea Butter is a natural emollient that nourishes skin to promote its clarity and health. Its moisturizing, circulation-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties make it a popular ingredient for use in products that address skin problems such as dryness, wrinkles, dark spots, discolorations, stretch marks, and blemishes. Whether skin is dry or oily, Shea Butter balances its oil production without clogging pores.

# Frankincense Essential Oil

It has natural astringent properties, meaning it balances oil production while tightening the skin. Frankincense benefits include the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elasticity, and defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes. Studies have shown frankincense to have anti-inflammatory and “tissue remodeling” properties, too.

# Geranium Essential oil

By increasing collagen production, Geranium Oil is known to enhance elasticity and to maintain the skin’s softness and smoothness, which is especially beneficial on the skin that has been exposed to chemicals, UV radiation, or rough physical activity.

Recipe

Ingredients

¼ cup shea butter
¼ cup hemp seed oil
10 drops vitamin e oil
20 drops frankincense essential oil
10 drops geranium essential oil

Method

* Make sure that your blender or immersion blender, bowl, and all utensils are very clean when you make this. If they’re not fully sanitized, then your anti-aging hemp seed oil face moisturizer can grow bacteria or mold. Clean everything with hot soapy water, then swab with rubbing alcohol or vinegar and let air dry.

* Make a double boiler by adding a few inches of water in a large saucepan. Heat the pan on low flame.

* In a glass bowl, combine the hemp seed oil, shea butter and place the glass bowl on top of a saucepan. Stir occasionally until everything is melted and combined.

* Now, let this mixture cool until it’s room temperature. It should look creamy, thick and opaque, but don’t let it get solid. Optional:
* You can place the mixture bowl in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes to speed up the process.

* Now, add vitamin e oil and all essential oils and whip the mixture using your blender for a couple of minutes until you get a creamy texture.

* Transfer to an airtight jar. Store in a clean and dry place
