maker reviews & questions
questions
Qhow do i incorporate crystals into a formula?
kimiya staffDissolve them in the warm oil phase or in alcohol before blending — they don't dissolve in water. Keep doses low and avoid eyes and mucosa.
Qhow should i store it?
kimiya staffStore cool, dark and tightly sealed; shelf life is 12 months unopened (see label for lot dates). Crystals are volatile — a tightly sealed container matters more than usual.
