Instructions
 

  • Melt the mango butter in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in vitamin E and aloe vera.
  • Allow the primer to begin to solidify before slowly adding in arrowroot powder.
  • Whip with a hand mixer for about 10 seconds to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
  • Pour into a storage tin and leave until thoroughly cooled, after which it will harden, ready for use.

Notes

Take a small amount of primer and rub it between your hands to warm it a little, then gently smooth it onto your skin, paying attention to your cheeks and forehead.
This must be refrigerated to prevent spoiling.
Alternatively, you can add a broad-spectrum preservative to stabilize the ingredients.
