Thank you for your enquiry.
Please see the below response from our Research and Development team;
“You are correct, and I apologise for that error. I think we had previously tested it with an emulsifier that was only heated for 30 seconds, and in that instance, it would have been OK. However, the longer heating with Emulsifying Wax BTMS25 would damage the Omega 3 content. Thank you for pointing that out to us, and we will correct that formulation.
If you are still wanting to use an oil with a high Omega 3 ratio, you could use Camelina Oil. You will see that it also is rich in Omega 3, so you could easily think that it would also be damaged. However, the high level of Omega 9 does seem to protect the integrity of the oil for the 5 minutes heating that the emulsifier needs. Much longer heating, and higher temperatures, would damage it, though. Do check the website details, though, to see if the qualities of Camelina suit what you require."

Good evening dear people :)
I have a question please, regarding the use of the Honey Moisturizer in this formula.
It is specified that it should be used in stage 3, and here it is used in stage 2.
Doesn’t this affect its properties at all?
I was about to start making the cream and then I’ve stopped.
I do trust you but I’m a bit puzzled, sorry.
Thank you again for your wonderful work.
Kind regards,
Ileana

The product description for Sacha Inchi Oil says it’s not heat stable yet in this recipe it’s heated. Please can you kindly advise?

“Yes, that will work fine. Make sure you combine all the Stage 3 ingredients together before adding them to the cream. Preservative Eco has a slight odour which is more noticeable if you add it last. Adding it in the combined Stage 3 ingredients, reduces that odour.”

This sounds lovely. I was wondering though if I could swap the Preservative 12 for Preservative Eco as I have some of that already?

“Our apologies.
There appears to have been an error made when that recipe was uploaded onto the website. We have now corrected it so that the Honey Moisturiser is included in the cool down stage 3.”
