But because they&#8217;re usually 60-70% water they can be very inexpensive to make, so you could easily make your own for much, much less.

Emulsions are all-in-one combinations of: water (to provide moisture to the skin); humectants (to attract more moisture to the skin); emollients (to soften the upper layers of the skin); and occlusives (to prevent water from evaporating from the skin). By using balms or salves only, you are completely missing water and humectants as you are only applying emollients and occlusives. This means that if your skin is not well hydrated, long-term use of anhydrous balms can actually make it even drier.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/08\/shea_butter.1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"How to make your own organic cream for a fraction of the cost of the top brands Natural Bodycare recipes \" class=\"wp-image-120033\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/08\/shea_butter.1.jpg.webp 416w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/08\/shea_butter.1-300x230.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revitalizing Wild Rose and Shea Body Cream Recipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This recipe was inspired by the Neal\u2019s Yard Rose Body Cream, a rich, luxurious moisturizer with shea butter, sweet almond oil and avocado oil that retails at \u00a335 GBP (about US $45).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our version contains similar ingredients and has a similar consistency and skin feel, for a fraction of the cost.

Macadamia oil is emollient, rejuvenating, soothing, protective and easily absorbed. Avocado is a rich, nourishing oil that is long lasting, easily absorbed and has a wonderful soft, silky feel on the skin. Rosehip oil is well known for its rejuvenating properties. It\u2019s the only vegetable oil to contain tretinoin (a form of vitamin A), which helps to repair damaged skin, acne, and reduce wrinkles and scars. Frankincense and lavender are both very healing and stimulate cellular regeneration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><i class=\"\">Oil phase<\/i><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7g Xyliance emulsifier (INCI Cetearyl Wheat Straw Glucosides (and) Cetearyl Alcohol.
