Method:
- Heat the Stage 1 (fat stage) ingredients in a stainless steel or borosilicate glass beaker in a double boiler (bain marie) until they are just melted. There is no need to use a thermometer.
- Remove from the heat and place in a pan of cold water. Keep stirring with a spatula until it looks custard like and is beginning to set up around the side of the beaker, but is still pourable.
- Add the Stage 2 ingredients and stir in thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Continue to cool either in a pan of cold water or the ‘fridge. You may notice the sugar settling to the bottom but don’t worry. As the Lip Scrub sets firmer simply stir it all together again and the sugar should stay suspended in the mixture.
- Scoop into pots and label.
- As there is no water in this product, no preservative is needed.
How to use:
Scoop out a small amount of Emulsified Lip Scrub and rub gently over the lips for a minute or so. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Your lips will feel so much smoother and kissable.
