Pink Rose-Hibiscus Soothing Moisturizer

Hibiscus flower has long been known for its skin
hydrating properties. It’s also easy to procure,
inexpensive, and gifts a lovely pink color to this

moisturizer. The combination with soothing rose
makes this a serious skin treat.

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup coconut oil

• 1/4 cup argan oil
• 2 tablespoons organic hibiscus tea

• 4 drops rose essential oil

Steps

1. Melt coconut oil in a double boiler until it’s very
warm. Add argan oil

2. While you are waiting for the coconut oil to melt
down, finely chop or pulverize the hibiscus petals.
3. Add the hibiscus powder to the warm coconut

oil and argan oil mixture and let infuse for at least 2
hours or overnight.

4. Strain the hibiscus fragments out using a
cheesecloth; strain directly into the container you will
be storing your moisturizer in.

5. Add a few drops of rose essential oil and mix well.

It is obvious that understanding the impact of
skincare goes beyond beauty. It’s also about respecting
and nurturing the largest organ of our body. It’s about

choosing products that do more good than harm,
that nourish instead of neglect, and that uphold the

principles of health over convenience or cost.
