Coconut oil is the perfect base for this moisturizing eye cream. It’s mostly hypoallergenic (substitute with olive oil or grape seed oil if you have a nut allergy) and extremely moisturizing—it can penetrate skin better than most other oils.

Mix thoroughly and add it to a small container with lid. You can refrigerate the oil to make it firm. At night, dab a small amount of the eye cream under your eyes. This will help the oils to penetrate your skin overnight. You can use it in the morning too, just allow it to soak in for at least 10 minutes before applying makeup. You may also use the eye cream as a gentle, moisturizing make up remover. Enjoy.
