Makeup Cleansing Balm Recipe

This DIY shea butter cleansing balm offers a soothing and effective way to cleanse your skin naturally.

Materials

  • 8 Tbsp Unrefined Shea Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 5 Drops Jojoba Oil

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, fill with a few inches of water and place a heat-safe bowl on top to create a double boiler. Add the shea butter and coconut oil to the bowl. Allow them to melt gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally to combine.
  • Once the shea butter and coconut oil have fully melted, remove the bowl from heat. Stir in the jojoba oil until the mixture is well-blended.
  • Pour the liquid balm into a clean glass jar or container. Allow it to cool and solidify at room temperature. This process may take a few hours. 1-2 hours if storing in the fridge.
  • Once solidified, your shea butter cleansing balm is ready to use. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it should last up to six months. Use a small amount on dry skin, massaging gently to dissolve makeup and impurities. Rinse with warm water or use a damp cloth to remove the balm, leaving your skin soft and clean.

Tips for Use

  • Patch Test: Always perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.
  • Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a firmer balm, add more shea butter. For a softer texture, reduce the shea butter or increase the liquid oils.
  • Customization: Feel free to customize your balm with different essential oils or additional ingredients like vitamin E for added skin benefits.
