Perfecting Skin Cream

Commercial creams are filled with lots of preservatives and nasty chemicals that offer no actual benefit to your skin whatsoever. Unlike many commercial creams that only coat the surface of the skin, this cream actually penetrates the epidermal layer and moisturizes the dermal layer of the skin. All done while utilizing only clean and beneficial ingredients.

Part of the magic of this perfecting cream comes from using it as a daily routine of peace and beauty. Be sure not to have negative feelings towards your skin or your body as you are using this cream. I like to wash my face before bed and as I am using the cream, to clear my mind and breathe deeply while applying. Positive reinforcements are important for keeping our spirits lifted. We are all beautiful in unique ways. 

The water elements that I have chosen as the base of this cream are raw aloe vera and organic rose, geranium flower, and frankincense hydrosol. My hydrosol is expertly, handcrafted here at GFO. I don't purchase it from a seller. I infuse it myself to be sure the balance of ingredients is perfect. 

Geranium may have soothing, anti-inflammatory, and mild astringent properties that make it excellent for damaged and irritated skin as well. It may be used to "brighten" the skin and renew the cells. It may be soothing to burns and gentle for sensitive skin.

Rose was christened as the "Queen of Flowers" in 600 BCE and rightfully so. She is exquisite in her appearance, her scent, and her skin care properties. Rose nourishes, balances, reforms, de-scars, and rejuvenates most all skin types. It is lightly astringent but not drying. It is a known cell generator and is especially helpful for damaged or mature and aging skin. Side note - she is long associated with love and romance and is used as an aphrodisiac. So it was essential to include her in this blend.

Frankincense is known and loved for it's skin loving benefits. 

A natural, non-invasive retinol is utilized to give the skin elasticity, firmness, and reduce wrinkles. 

I utilize very nutritive oils, with high levels of vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. It is especially good for aging and mature skin. It is also very good for eczema and psoriasis.

I use only local raw, unprocessed beeswax. I get my beeswax from our local keeper and we clean it ourselves. Beeswax adds its own rich, soothing, healing, antibiotic energy. I think that bees are the real bees knees. We are sure to leave some propolis for it's many benefits. You have to go no farther than google to see why bee propolis is so beneficial. 

This process is lengthy as it takes 8 weeks for the hydrosol to come together. The oil is infused without heat for 12 weeks. The cream is a true labor of love. It comes together beautifully.
