Anti-acne balm with chamomile and calendula

I'm still in the infancy of making homemade cosmetics and drugstore products, but it really can be fun and it's easier than it seems. :)

The Ekokoza e-shop provided me with the products for production.

What will you need?

- 1/2 cup of coconut oil

- 1/4 cup mango butter

- 1 tablespoon of chamomile

- 1 tablespoon of calendula

- 1-2 teaspoons of zinc oxide (the amount determines the density)

Why the given raw materials?

Coconut oil is great for almost anything, here among other things it ties everything together for us.

Mango butter hydrates and softens very well, it is suitable for sensitive children's skin, which it perfectly protects.

Calendula and chamomile have an anti-inflammatory effect, speed up healing, and chamomile also has good disinfectant effects.

Zinc oxide does not irritate the skin and does not cause allergic reactions, it soothes.

How to do it?

Melt the coconut oil in a water bath and add chamomile and calendula to it - keep it at a low temperature for an hour, just make sure the water doesn't boil.

Strain and mix with zinc oxide and mango butter, ideally blend to a smooth consistency.

Fill in containers and let it harden (it will be completely solid in the fridge, in the room according to the degrees - coconut oil is liquid when it is above 24 degrees, but in both cases it can be used well).

Thank you very much Maruska for the beautiful recipe and photos and we look forward to further cooperation!
