Notes
- Store the individual ingredients for this skin cream in the refrigerator, but remove them an hour before making the cream to bring them to room temperature.
- Shake the lecithin well before measuring it for the recipe.
- Temperature is very important to this procedure. If anything (including the air of the room) is too cold, the cream won't mix well. If it's too hot, the integrity of the ingredients could be damaged.
