To use
- Apply as the final step of your skincare routine (though before sunscreen for daytime use)

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.
