Tired of spending a fortune on eye creams? This recipe is great for tired,puffy, or irritated eyes \u2013 or just for day-to-day makeup removal.<\/p>\n
This exquisite formula is very popular; as a matter of fact, I just made 24 jars of cream for my dear friend Maria. The blue chamomile essential oil is expensive (approximately $50 for 1\/2 ounce). It\u2019s high in azulene \u2013 an antiinflammatory agent extracted from chamomile flowers \u2013 and it\u2019s very soothing to the delicate area around the eye.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not crucial for the recipe, but a great addition when you can afford the indulgence. if you are allergic to chamomile tea, leave it out.<\/p>\n
