I told you about my makeup remover & body lotion in my skincare post. Here’s how I mix it up.
This vitamin E oil uses olive oil as the carrier. Those are the only 2 ingredients. Be sure to check the label before you purchase. Some brands have lots of ingredients and fillers.
I bought this coconut oil about 2 hours ago. I made toothpaste and this. I’m already a quarter of the way through this big 54 oz. jug. I go through this stuff like crazy. And the funny thing, I never finish the last few tablespoons of the last container of oil until I get another one. So for about 4 or 5 days, I’ve had a few tbsp. in an otherwise empty container and wouldn’t use it. You know, just in case. Like I’m going to have a coconut oil emergency. I added those last spoonfuls to my vitamin E mix.
That’s interesting! Can you please share more about it? Thank you.
Oil Makeup Remover
I definitely will in the future! Let me know if you have specific questions.
How much of the coconut oil do you use?
Very minimal. I dip 2 fingers in the coconut oil / vitamin e mix and wipe on my eyes, then wipe off. That’s it! So just enough to rub in.
Does this stuff spoil? I basically only wear makeup on weekends so was wondering if I made a good size batch to last would it go bad? Should I just make a small batch. I just don’t want to be bothered with having to make it often. LOL
Also, Could you give roughly the measurements or how much coconut oil and vitamin E you mix together? You said about 2 Tbsp total of vitamin E but what about the coconut oil? Looks like you have a watery consistency there.
No, it doesn’t go bad. You can make big batches. About 2 tbsp of vitamin e per cup of coconut oil. The consistency depends on the temperature. Coconut oil is liquid when it is hot and solid when it is cold. So if you like a more solid mix, you can store it in the fridge. Your body temperature will melt it to make it easy to work with when it touches your skin.
You mention a vitamin E that is mixed with olive oil. What about pure vitamin E? How much would I use? That’s what I have and the package states not to use undiluted, it could be toxic. This makes me question at what ratio to use the pure vitamin E with the coconut oil.
