Homemade Coconut Oil Wrinkle-Reducing Cream

A nourishing, all-natural anti-aging moisturizer that hydrates skin while smoothing fine lines.

🌴 Ingredients *(Makes 4 oz / 1 small jar)*

• ¼ cup virgin coconut oil (anti-inflammatory, deeply hydrating)

• 1 tbsp shea butter (boosts elasticity & repairs skin)

• 1 tsp beeswax (locks in moisture, creates a creamy texture)

• 1 tbsp aloe vera gel (soothes & plumps skin)

• 5 drops frankincense essential oil (fights wrinkles, promotes cell renewal)

• 5 drops lavender essential oil (calms skin, reduces redness)

• 2 drops carrot seed oil (optional) (rich in antioxidants, brightens skin)

🍶 How to Make It

1️⃣ Melt the base:

• In a double boiler, gently melt coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax until fully combined.

• Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2️⃣ Add active ingredients:

• Stir in aloe vera gel and essential oils.

• Whisk until smooth.

3️⃣ Chill & whip (optional):

• Refrigerate for 15 mins to thicken slightly.

• For a fluffier texture, whip with a hand mixer for 1-2 mins.

4️⃣ Store & use:

• Transfer to a clean glass jar. Keep in a cool place.

💆‍♀️ How to Use for Best Results

✔ Night cream: Apply a pea-sized amount before bed to clean skin.
✔ Under-eye treatment: Gently dab a tiny amount on fine lines (avoid pulling skin).
✔ Daily hydration: Use sparingly in the AM (coconut oil can be greasy for some skin types).

✨ Why It Works

• Coconut oil – Penetrates deeply to reduce water loss, plumping wrinkles.

• Frankincense oil – Clinically shown to boost collagen production (study: NCBI).

• Shea butter – Rich in fatty acids that repair skin barrier and prevent sagging.

🌿 Bonus Anti-Aging Boosters

• Add 1 tsp rosehip oil for extra vitamin C (fades sun spots).

• Swap lavender for neroli oil for mature skin (stimulates cell turnover).
