Method

• In separate pots heat both Phase A and Phase B to 65°C. 
• 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 blend again.
• Allow to cool to below 25°C. Check/adjust the final pH to 5 - 5.5 (Check out our blog on pH adjusting HERE)
• Cover and leave overnight, the mixture will reach its full thickness and be ready to package the following day.
• Give product a final stir, pour into pot/s and you're done!

To use

• Apply as the final step of your skincare routine (though before sunscreen for daytime use)
• Massage in and allow a minute or two to absorb

Substitutions

• If you don't have all the carrier oils required you can substitute one for more of another.
• If you don't have all of the Last Phase ingredients you can replace that percentage with more water. DO NOT replace the preservative (Geogard 221), that is essential.
• Keep in mind any substitutions can change the final colour, smell, feel and/or viscosity of the final product.
