5ml Evening Primrose Oil
5ml Rosehip Red Oil
0.5ml Grapefruit Seed Extract

In a glass jug or beaker, heat the Rosewater and Aloe Vera Concentrate to 65°C-70°C.
In another jug or beaker, heat the Mango Kernel Butter, Evening Primrose Oil and Rosehip Red Oil to around 65°C.
Sprinkle the Sclerotium Gum over the heated Rosewater/Aloe Concentrate mixture, and blend thoroughly with a stick blender, ensuring it is smooth.
Slowly pour in the heated oils/butter in a thin stream, blending with the stick blender as you go.
