- Whisk in jojoba oil, vitamin E, and optional rosehip oil until smooth.
3. Add Aloe
- Slowly whisk in aloe vera gel—mixture will thicken slightly.⚠️ Do not overmix—can cause separation.
4. Cool & Whip (Optional)

- Whip with hand mixer 1–2 minutes for lighter texture (skip for richer balm).
5. Store Properly
- Transfer to sterilized container; keep in a cool, dark place (not bathroom!).
- Shelf life: 2 months (discard if smell/texture changes).
How to Use It
- Nightly: After cleansing and toning, apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck.
- Best for: Normal, dry, or combination skin.
- Avoid if: You have very oily or acne-prone skin (use only aloe + jojoba instead).
