This cream is designed to clean and moisturize the skin under the eyes, already prone to dryness. This cream is also gentle enough to be used as an eye makeup remover. This recipe makes approximately 8 oz. of safe, natural eye cream. This article will explain the steps on how to make eye cream.
Combine 3 tbsp. lanolin with 1 tbsp. lanolin in a small sauce pan. Heat the mixture on low until it begins to gel, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Crack an egg, and separate the yolk. Beat the yolk in a small bowl with a wire whisk for 30 seconds. Add the beaten yolk to the lanolin mixture. Mix well.
Combine 2 tbsp. beeswax and 2 tbsp. safflower oil in a second small sauce pan. Heat gently on low temperature, just until the beeswax is completely melted. Add to the lanolin mixture.
Add 1 tbsp cold water to the eye cream for additional moisturizing. Beat the eye cream until frothy with a wire whisk, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the eye cream into a low tub or jar. Label. Note contents and the date. The cream will keep up to 30 days and should be refrigerated when not in use. To use, apply the cream around the eyes just as you would any moisturizer.
