- When both are at 65°C, pour Phase B into Phase A and blend with stick blender until thick.
- Let cool to 40°C then add Phase C and stir to combine.
- Spoon into jar/jars.
- Can be applied to face or body.
- For body use, ideally applied after showering.
- For face use, apply after cleansing and oils and/serums, before sunscreen.
