It doesn’t get easier than this! Learn how to make vitamin E cream at home instead of buying it!
Here’s my take on how to make vitamin E cream right in the comfort of your own kitchen. It really is super simple and loads beneficial for your skin and hair. All you need to use are two ingredients: vitamin E oil and shea butter.
Now shea butter is one of the best base ingredients for making your own lotions, creams or salves at home. It has a thick consistency that stays solid at room temperature but easily melts at body temperature. It also has a slightly smoky scent that isn’t unpleasant but if you want to mask it, feel free to use an essential oil that smells good to you like lavender!
