Kombucha skin cream

scobyskincream_resizedI had to try a skin cream.. I do not tolerate most of the commercial creams and because I’m lazy in terms of spoiling myself, I sometimes do not use anything. Other times, I go all out and experiment 🙂

This cream was basically a throwing together of compounds based on gut feeling.

I used:

  • 71g kombucha mother*
  • 25g coconut oil
  • 25g shea butter
  • 20g cocoa butter
  • essential oils: 3 drops bergamot and 1 drop of litsea

*scobyBlender_resized The kombucha mother was put in the blender  with a bit of kombucha liquid to get rid of the chunks and make an almost perfect mousse..

 

 

 

 

Skin Cream Part 2

Yes I tried another one, this time with kombucha being 1/3 of the water phase (the rest being ginger tea), the oils used included bees wax, aprikot oil and coconut oil.

Essential oils were bergamot, litsea, ylang-ylang

This is a very soft and smooth cream, much better than the previous one, and I’ve been using it a lot myself!
