Ingredients:


  • ¼ cup flax seed
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 10 drops geranium essential oil
  • 3 drops of tea tree oil
  • 1 tbsp. aloe gel
  • Cheesecloth
  • 8 oz. glass jar
  • Easy-pour spout measuring cup

Directions:


  1. Pour ¼ cup flax seeds into 2.5 cups of water, and bring it to a boil (about 10 minutes). Make sure to stir often to avoid flax seeds from sticking to the bottom of your pan. The mixture should have a gel-like consistency.
  2. Let the mixture cool for about 45 minutes. This will allow it to thicken.
  3. Once cooled, place the cheesecloth over the spouted measuring cup; squeeze gel through cloth to strain the seeds.
  4. Add aloe vera gel, geranium essential oil, tea tree oil, and mix well.
  5. Pour the gel into a glass jar, and store it in the refrigerator.
