Applications: Makes about 1 ½ TBSP of hydrator.  

About this recipe:  

  • Stays solid at 70 degrees and below 
  • Not necessary to store sealed airtight  
  • Vegan  

Here’s what you’ll need… 

Ingredients 

  • ½ medium organic cucumber 
  • 1 TBSP organic, virgin, unrefined coconut oil, melted 
  • ½ tsp organic, sweet almond oil 
  • ½ tsp organic, aloe vera juice (or fresh aloe gel) 
  • 3 drops of organic, pure vitamin E oil

Directions 

To Make: 

  1. Use a juicer to extract 2 tsp of juice from the cucumber. If you do not have a juicer, use a blender or processor to blend the cucumber until you can extract 2 tsp of juice. This can be done using a strainer, cheese cloth, or even a clean paper towel by wringing out the cucumber pulp.  
  1. Combine melted coconut oil, almond oil, and vitamin E in a small mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously while slowly adding aloe vera and cucumber juice to the oil.  
  1. In an environment that is under 70 degrees, allow the mixture to sit out for about 10-15 mins, whisking every few minutes. If it’s warmer, use a refrigerator and whisk every 2 mins. The mixture will start to harden and have a beautiful, even, light green color and smooth texture. Transfer to a storage container and store in a cool area.   

To Use: 

Apply anywhere and everywhere! Extra refreshing for lips.
