I like a lightweight day cream that will absorb quickly, but I know has all the right kinds of oils and butter for my skin as I get older.
It is important to mix the water elements and oil elements separately, and only mix together once they are at the same heat. This will help your ingredients from splitting. As we all know oil and water don’t mix! The Emulsifying wax helps with this issue, combining everything together.
