There’s something incredibly satisfying about crafting your own skincare—especially when it’s infused with love and ingredients from your garden. I’ve been infusing coconut oil with homegrown roses, and now I’m turning that dreamy base into sweet little 2oz jars of rose eye cream. It’s rich, nourishing, and beautifully fragrant thanks to rose essential oil and skin-loving butters.
Here’s how you can make your own small batch of this luxurious cream at home.
Prior to making your rose eye cream, you will need to harvest clean rose petals from your garden. Making sure there is NO water on the petals, soak them in fractionated coconut oil for at 7-10 days. After that time, the oil will be infused with rose and ready for use.
Ingredients (Per 2oz Jar)
- 1 tbsp rose-infused coconut oil
- 1 tbsp shea butter
- 1 tbsp mango butter
- 1 tsp rosehip oil
- 2–3 drops rose essential oil
- (Optional: 1 drop vitamin E oil for preservation)
Tip: Multiply the ingredients by the number of jars you want to make.
Supplies You’ll Need
- Heatproof glass bowl or double boiler
- Mini whisk or hand mixer
- Measuring spoons
- Sterilized 2oz glass jars
- Small spatula or spoon
- Clean towels
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Melt the Butters
In a double boiler or glass bowl over simmering water, gently melt the shea butter, mango butter, and rose-infused coconut oil. Stir slowly until fully combined. Do not let it boil—gentle heat is key.
2. Add Rosehip and Essential Oils
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the rosehip oil and optional vitamin E. Pour into a bowl.
3. Whip for a Fluffier Texture (Optional)
If you prefer a whipped texture, place the mixture in the fridge for about 20 minutes until it turns opaque but not solid. Add 3-5 drops of rose essential oil. I also love to add frankincense to anything I make for added benefit. Then whip with a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes until creamy and light.
4. Jar It Up
Spoon your eye cream into sterilized 2oz jars. Wipe the rims, seal tightly, and label with the date and ingredients.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store your eye cream in a cool, dark spot. You can also refrigerate it for a firmer texture and longer shelf life.
Shelf life: ~3–6 months (vitamin E oil can help extend this).
