How to make it
  • 01

    Add the plant-based oil — 5 g jojoba — to the beaker.

  • 02

    Add 0.1 g flower-pigmented powder. Whisk with the small brush until the pigment is fully dissolved at the bottom, so it is a dilute, even solution.

  • 03

    Add the waxes — 1 g beeswax and 1 g candelilla wax.

  • 04

    Warm on low heat until the waxes are fully melted.

  • 05

    Add the actives — 0.5 g vitamin E (about one drop) and 0.5 g ceramide.

  • 06

    Add 8 drops of natural fragrance.

  • 07

    Mix thoroughly until everything is one uniform solution.

  • 08

    Pour into containers to about 90% of the brim. Do not overfill — the lids won't close.
