avocado face cream

Hi eKa CIRCLE,

A few weeks ago I was gifted some amazing organic avocado oil (thank you Sarah) and some lavender essential oil from Tasmania (thank you Daphne). So I decided to combine the two and experiment making an avocado face cream. The end product turned out great! It’s a beautiful creamy texture and soaks into the skin quickly so that it doesn’t feel greasy like many face creams.

For my own supplies I always like to repurpose jars etc that I put my products into and then I package the remainder into eKa packaging to give away. It feels great to share and our eKa CIRCLE dream is to build a community of sharing knowledge and products. Lavender is a wonderful smell for relaxation and frankincense is a great anti wrinkle prevention.

A lot of home-made beauty products are actually very simple to prepare and it is a great way to avoid toxic chemicals and animal cruelty that happens in the beauty product industry. Don’t forget to let me know how you go trying this recipe.

love & light
