Directions:
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron, workspace and sanitized equipment.

- Slowly add water to melted oils and wax. Using stick blender or hand mixer, blend until all ingredients are incorporated.

- Let product cool to about 100°F. Add Vitamin E, Preservative and Essential Oil.
- Add drops of color until desired shade is reached.
