This, like the Beginners Cream, is an easy moisturiser to make for those who are fairly new to making emulsions. However, this is virtually oil free (only 2% Olive Squalane) and has an impressively elegant and silky feel. This formula includes Squalane (which forms up to 10% of our Skin's sebum) and Dimethicone.
We also now offer an alternative to Dimethicone, made from Olive which is quite a nice alternative, Silc-Oliv is found HERE.
Set everything out, have all the ingredients pre-weighed and follow temperatures closely and you'll be fine.
This is an elegant, slightly more advanced moisture cream with an amazing skin feel, which is still easy to make. It is suitable for facial application at night, or as a hand and/or body cream if you prefer. This cream is suited to tubs and pots, rather than tubes.
