How to use the basesUpdated 4 years ago

The bases do contain their own preservative so are fine to use as is, but they are ideal to customise to your own needs. If you are customising with additional oils, botanicals, etc, it is recommended that you add in additional preservative too, as the built in one may not be able to handle all the extra ingredients, particularly if water based.

The bases are not concentrates so they are not designed to be diluted to make 'x-amount'. The final amount will depend on what you add to it, so will be equal to the base amount plus the extra ingredients.

They are highly customisable; you can add in extra carrier oils, essential oils, botanicals etc according to your needs. Obviously the consistency will change with additions so don't add too much so as to destabilise the formula. You may need to experiment here, depending on what additional ingredients you use.
