Advanced: Add the desired amount to the cool down phase of an emulsion process, or use in an anhydrous base.
Quick Tips
Store in a cool, dark, roomtemperature environment for best results. Some sediment is normal in the product, but cold temperature may cause more of the actives to settle out. Antioxidant Booster can be used to add a natural orange-red color to formulations but this can fade when exposed to sunlight.
