How to Make a Natural Eye Cream with Rosehip, Argan, and Jojoba Oils

The delicate skin around the eyes requires special care to stay hydrated, firm, and youthful. While there are many commercial eye creams available, making your own natural eye cream at home is an excellent way to ensure you’re using high-quality, chemical-free ingredients tailored to your skin’s needs. This DIY natural eye cream combines the powerful benefits of rosehip oil, argan oil, and jojoba oil, creating a gentle yet effective solution to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dryness.

Why Use Rosehip, Argan, and Jojoba Oils?

•    Rosehip Oil: Packed with Vitamin A (natural retinoids) and Vitamin C, it stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, and brightens dark circles.
•    Argan Oil: Known as “liquid gold,” argan oil is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, deeply hydrating the skin and improving elasticity.
•    Jojoba Oil: Closely mimicking the skin’s natural sebum, jojoba oil provides long-lasting hydration without clogging pores.
Together, these oils create a nourishing blend that protects, hydrates, and rejuvenates the skin.

DIY Natural Eye Cream Recipe

Ingredients
•    2 tablespoons shea butter (base for creaminess and deep hydration)
•    1 tablespoon beeswax (for structure and to create a protective barrier)
•    1 teaspoon rosehip oil
•    1 teaspoon argan oil
•    1 teaspoon jojoba oil
•    3-4 drops vitamin E oil (natural preservative and skin booster)
•    Optional: 1-2 drops lavender essential oil or chamomile essential oil (for added soothing and calming properties)

Tools
•    Double boiler or heat-safe bowl
•    Small spatula or spoon
•    Clean glass jar or container for storage

Instructions
1.    Melt the Base Ingredients: Place the shea butter and beeswax in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl over simmering water. Gently heat, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
2.    Add the Oils: Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly (to avoid breaking down the oils' nutrients). Stir in the rosehip oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil. Mix well to combine.
3.    Optional Essential Oils: If desired, add 1-2 drops of lavender or chamomile essential oil for a calming effect.
4.    Cool and Store: Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar or container while it’s still liquid. Allow it to cool and solidify at room temperature or in the fridge for faster setting.
5.    Ready to Use: Once solidified, your natural eye cream is ready! Store it in a cool, dry place, and use it within 2-3 months.
