Hello, question regarding the containers in which to heat and mix. Is it ok to use a small stainless steel saucepan? So as not to spare and to have a handle. Thanks, Diana

Thank you very much for your answer. Would it be better to reduce the amount of water or dragon's blood extract so I can introduce bakuchiol?

Hello! Preservative is mandatory in such recipes, you can replace Concentrated Grapefruit Seed Extract with Cosgard or Fragard. Instead of dragon's blood extract you can folo and other active anti-aging ingredient - acmella is suitable.

Hello! The documentation refers to heating in industrial scale production procedures, where the duration is significantly longer compared to small batch/small volume preparation, as in our case. Heating at 70-75°C for a short time does not create problems even for vegetable oils more susceptible to oxidation, so you can prepare the recipe with confidence.

Hello! In the documentation for safflower oil it says not to heat it to more than 60 degrees, and this recipe says to heat it to 70 degrees. Can you clarify? Thank you in advance!

Hi, please help me with the following questions because I would like to know if I am proceeding well with the preparation of creams... 1. Can all vegetable oils be used in recipes prepared hot (70 degrees)? if not, which ones or how would I be able to tell? 2. From what I understand there are more sensitive oils and to preserve them better it is necessary to add vitamin E? if yes what would they be. 3. and which recipes would be more effective those prepared hot or cold? Thanks and all good thoughts!

Hello. If you weighed all the ingredients accurately using a scale, the temperature of the phases was appropriate before combining, and you worked with the mixer as directed in the recipe, you should have resulted in a homogeneous and stable emulsion. The cornflower water is not too much, nor the emulsifier too little, if properly dosed.

Hello, I tried to make this cream but it doesn't bind at all.It remains liquid even though I put the ingredients exactly as written in the recipe. When I mix phase A with B, I think that's where the problem is,the blueberry water seems to be too much or the Emulsan too little,I don't know..Can you please tell me,how much is 0.6 gr in drops to DRAGON'S BLOOD EXCTRACT? How could I solve the problem? Thanks
