Mixing Recommendations
Follow these steps for consistent results
Work at room temperature
Mix within a range of 20–25 °C (68–77 °F). No heating is required.
Add in the right order
Blend in fragrance or essential oil first, then colorant, then additives — adding each one slowly until fully incorporated.
Mix until uniform
Hand-mixing with a spatula works well for small batches. For larger volumes, use an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.
