So what goes into this homemade night cream that makes it so great for your skin?

These ingredients are great for anyone who struggles with their skin and can be used on a variety of skin types, including those with combination skin!

Check out the natural ingredients below and find out why I chose each one for this recipe!

Distilled Water

I always recommend using distilled water; distilled water is free from minerals and other contaminants that can be found in tap water!

Kokum Butter

I love kokum butter! It is a wonderful, lighter alternative to cocoa butter or shea butter, and I feel that sensitive skin handles kokum better.

High in fatty acids, this butter helps moisturize skin without making your skin feel greasy or heavy; it is also non-comedogenic. This makes it a great base for a night cream to ensure that it does not clog pores or break your face out!

Meadowfoam Seed Oil

This oil is known for its balancing and protecting properties; it also moisturizes skin. It can help balance your complexion while smoothing out fine lines and the appearance of wrinkles. It also helps prevent further skin damage from free radicals.

Argan Oil

This oil is well-known in the beauty industry for deeply moisturizing skin and helping protect it from damage. It also helps promote healing in damaged or dry skin. Fatty acids and vitamin E help restore skin’s natural youthfulness!

Squalane Oil

Squalane oil is a lesser-known ingredient that anyone struggling with aging skin should have in their skincare arsenal!

This oil mimics your skin’s natural lipid layer, helping repair skin’s barrier to lock in moisture and protect it from damage. It is a natural emollient that helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and balances your skin. It can also help stimulate collagen production so you can keep your skin youthful longer.

Polyaquol-2W

This is the emulsifying agent for this recipe; it not only helps turn your cream into a cream, but it also helps repair skin’s natural barrier.

Gotu Kola SNO

Gotu kola is the star ingredient in this recipe! This herbal ingredient has been used for centuries to help heal, calm, and repair skin. It is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that reduces inflammation, improves circulation to the skin, and helps lock in hydration so your skin can appear young and plump.

Euxyl K 903

You know I love my natural preservatives! This broad-spectrum preservative helps prevent the growth of yeasts, molds, and bacteria.

Essential Oils

For this recipe, I am using lavender and neroli essential oils to help boost hydration and reduce inflammation and puffiness. They both have anti-inflammatory properties and also reduce redness.  It also has a relaxing scent to help you unwind right before bed.

What is the difference between night cream and day cream?

Sometimes a night cream can contain light-sensitive ingredients. Day creams are lighter and tend to help quickly hydrate and plump skin. They can also contain more ingredients meant to protect skin from UV and environmental damage. 

What makes a good night cream?

It can be so hard to decide if a night cream is worth it or not. So how do you know? Look for natural ingredients that are not likely to clog pores as it sits on skin overnight. You also want to avoid artificial ingredients that are likely to cause skin irritation, inflammation, or breakouts.
