4. Pour & harden: quickly pour the melted base into your container, spray rubbing alcohol to limit air bubbles, then let it cool and harden completely before unmolding.

Safety and stability

Before any marketing of your creations, it is your responsibility to carry out stability and microbiological safety tests on the finished product you formulate from this base, particularly after adding additives. The manufacturer indicates that the base complies with European requirements to serve as an ingredient in the manufacture of finished cosmetic products; it is up to the person placing the finished product on the market to ensure its regulatory compliance.
