This recipe I made is great for oily skin like mine, but with some simple tricks you can make it suitable for normal or dry skin.
*100 gr of rose water
*100 gr of oil: 30 gr calendula, 50 gr sweet almond oil and 20 gr wheat germ oil.
*I used lysolecithine for my emulsifier, it's great stuff, can be used hot and cool, doesn't leave a film and just work with about anything, and makes your skin absorb stuff better. It looks like a red syrup, but in the end it doesn't really add too much color to your cream
*10 drops of essential eucalyptus oil
*10 drops of essential orange oil
Note: citrus can make your skin more sensitive to light.
*1,5 teaspoon of bee wax (or any other wax if you want to go full vegan)
Heat the oil and let the bee wax melt in there, heat the water to about the same temperature. I added the emulsifier to the oil too. Mix it all together, poor it in the bottle and just shake it for a minute or 2. Then add the essential oils, and shake it a bit more. Let it cool and enjoy!
