LIPOSOME ELIXIR

This simply made “nourishing nectar” for your weather-beaten skin is chock-full of beneficial vitamins (A, B, D, and E) plus fatty acids, proteins, and lecithin, which together speed healing and bring comfort to environmentally ravaged skin. The bright orange calendula essential oil is a concentrated vulnerary and powerful anti-inflammatory, repairing, restoring, and rejuvenating damaged skin. This elixir is recommended for normal and dry environmentally damaged skin.

5 drops calendula essential oil

1 tablespoon avocado base oil

1 tablespoon wheat germ base oil

EQUIPMENT: Dropper, dark glass bottle with dropper top or screw cap

PREP TIME: 15 minutes, plus 24 hours to synergize

YIELD: 2 tablespoons

STORAGE: Store at room temperature, away from heat and light; use within 3 months

APPLICATION: 2 times per day

Add the calendula essential oil drop by drop directly into a storage bottle. Add the avocado and wheat germ base oils. Screw the top on the bottle and shake vigorously for 2 minutes to blend. Label the bottle and place in a dark location that’s between 60° and 80°F for 24 hours so that the oils can synergize. Wheat germ oil has a short shelf life, so the elixir will go rancid if not used within 3 months, but the avocado oil becomes almost solid when refrigerated.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Shake well before using. In the morning and evening, after cleansing, pat your skin almost dry, then apply the appropriate toner, astringent, or herbal hydrosol for your skin type. While your skin is still damp, lightly massage approximately 10 drops of elixir into it, beginning with the the chest and moving up to the throat and then the face, using upward, outward, and circular strokes. Wait 5 minutes before applying sunscreen, additional moisturizer (if desired), or makeup. The elixir should sink right in with no oily residue; if your skin remains oily after 5 minutes, blot off the excess and use less next time.

Bonus This elixir makes a fabulous conditioning oil for dry, brittle fingernails and cuticles. Simply massage one drop into each nail daily.
