How to make a hydrophilic oil with your own hands

It is also possible to prepare hydrophilic oil at home. Herbal ingredients for its composition are selected according to the type of skin. Based on this, before cooking, it is worth determining its type.

Essential oils should be added to the base mixture to increase the effectiveness of the product. They also need to be chosen depending on the type of skin and their beneficial properties. Selected oils should be checked for allergic reactions before using them in the preparation of a hydrophilic product.

It's easy to do this:

1. Apply a drop of essential oil to the crook of the elbow or wrist.
2. If after 12 hours there is no redness in this place, the oil can be applied.

The general principle of preparation consists of mixing a base oil with an emulsifier, which will help to bind the oil to water. Most often, Polysorbat-80 is used for these purposes.

You can buy it in stores specializing in the sale of ingredients for the preparation of cosmetics.

Percentage of components:

• 10-15% - for emulsifier,
• 85-90% - oil base,
• no more than 1% essential oils.

In order for this composition of hydrophilic oil to work in full force, it needs to stand for a day before use. Since natural oils are used in the home composition and preservatives are not used, it is worth preparing a hydrophilic agent in small portions and keeping it for no more than three weeks.

For cooking you will need:

• Mixture bottle;
• Measuring container or spoon;
• Polysorbat-80;
• Base oil or mixture thereof. What are these oils used to prepare the hydrophilic oil is given below;
• Essential oils.

Common base oils:

• Jojoba... Oil with a high content of vitamin E, with regenerating, anti-inflammatory properties. Due to a structure close to the nature of human sebum, the oil easily penetrates the subcutaneous tissue, having a beneficial effect on it.
• Grape seed. The oil has an antioxidant effect, normalizes the skin's fat balance.
• Avocado. The oil will moisturize and saturate the skin with vitamins.
• Almond... The oil will fill with moisture, soften and whiten any skin type.
• Peach... The oil includes a full-fledged vitamin complex, softens the skin and starts the process of cell renewal.
• Rosehip... The oil contains vitamin C, which not only improves the appearance, but also triggers skin renewal processes, due to which acne scars and cuts heal much faster.

A few simple homemade recipes:

• For dry skin. In 80 ml of almond base oil add 10 ml of rosehip oil, 10 ml of emulsifier and a few drops of vitamin E.
• For dry and dehydrated skin. Olive oil (85 g) is mixed with 15 g of Polysorbate-80. Add 10 drops each of avocado, orange, jojoba and sweet almond oils.
• For oily skin.Pour 90 g of grape oil into a bottle, add 10 g of Polysorbate-80, mix the mixture. Add 10 drops each of tea tree oil, rosemary oil and peach seed oil.
• With a cleansing effect for problem skin. Add 10 g of emulsifier and 5 drops of tea tree to 90 ml of a mixture of almond, peach oils and rice bran.
