Equipment

  • Small double boiler pot
  • Silicone spatula
  • Glass cosmetic jar

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place a small double boiler pot over a pot of water on medium heat. Combine the cera bellina, beeswax and squalane oil. Whisk or stir frequently.
  • Once the mixture is hot and completely liquified, carefully remove the pot from the heat. Place it into a cold pot of water or water bath. (Cold water from the tap will suffice.)
  • Mix in the pumpkin powder and stir thoroughly with a silicone spatula. The mask will quickly begin to cool and thicken, so be sure to continuously scrape the product from the side of the bowl. (The mask touching the cold bowl will harden more quickly, and we want to avoid any lumps.)
  • Once the pumpkin powder is completely incorporated, leave the pumpkin mask to cool for about 10 minutes. Stir it well when you return, as some pumpkin powder may have clumped at the bottom.
  • Take the mask out of the water bath and leave it to gel at room temperature for about an hour. Give it one last good stir to re-incorporate any clumps of pumpkin powder, then transfer it to a glass container.

Notes

This pumpkin mask can be stored at room temperature. No preservative is required since this recipe is anhydrous (free of water).
Squalane oil and pumpkin powder both have shelf lives of 2 years, but you'll likely use your mask before the season is over.
