This is the best eye cream I’ve made so far. The others I’ve made previously with carrot seed oil did not turn out so well. You can read more about the benefits of rosehip for skincare here.
The eye cream goes on nice and smooth. I’ve been using this for about 1 month and find it’s great for the delicate area of the eye. And this one even has extra virgin coconut oil, so it smells like real coconut too.
It’s a nice natural product with no preservatives or chemicals. And all the plant oils nourishes and protects your skin. The shea butter and beeswax is what holds it all together - naturally!
I used an old container from another cosmetic company. I never finished their cream as the texture and smell was just too odd. At least I got to re-use the container.

I finally made my own face cream using carrot seed oil. As carrot seed oil helps tones the skin, reduces the formation of wrinkles, assist with cell growth and skin rejuvenation and help diminish scars.
The first batch I made did not turn out so good. So I remixed it with more oils and it’s much better now! It’s a small amount, but it should last me a couple of months. I put them in my old but clean beauty product jars and refrigerate.
The selection of oils I used are all good for the skin.
Apricot kernal oil is high in linoleic and oleic fatty acids. These are good for those with sensitive, dry, or mature skin. They absorb easily by the skin and doesn’t leave the skin feeling oily.
Avocado oil is also great for the skin, helps make the skin smooth and moisturized. It has vitamin E, A, D and E. It can also be used as a natural sunscreen.
And sunflower oil is rich in essential fatty acids. It is also easily absorbed by the skin with a light texture. Great for all skin types.
And of course the Gotu Kola and Carrot seed essential oil I’ve been raving about at Cambree Notes for some time too. Another great natural product your skin will love.
