Now, remove the glass container from the pan and add the cool-down phase ingredients. Mix well.

Notes

1. Always do a patch test on a small area (like the inner arm) before using it on larger areas to check for any skin reactions.
2. Do not exceed recommended usage. Essential oils are potent and can irritate skin in high concentrations.
3. Avoid using if allergic to any ingredient (e.g., nuts in shea butter, cornstarch sensitivity, etc.).
4. Essential oils should be used cautiously during pregnancy. Consult your doctor if unsure.
5. Avoid introducing water into the jar. Water can lead to bacterial growth, especially in preservative-free recipes.

Is this eye cream suitable for mature skin?	Yes. This eye cream is formulated with nourishing oils and butters that deeply moisturize mature skin and help improve its softness and elasticity.
Can this eye cream reduce wrinkles?	While it won’t remove wrinkles permanently, regular use helps keep the delicate under-eye area hydrated, making fine lines and wrinkles appear less noticeable.

Can I use this eye cream every day?	Yes. Apply a small amount around the eye area once or twice daily, preferably after cleansing and before bedtime.
Why is cetyl alcohol added to this eye cream?	Cetyl alcohol thickens the cream, improves its texture, reduces the greasy feel, and helps it glide smoothly over the delicate eye area while locking in moisture.
Why is my eye cream too hard?	The cream may become too firm if it contains too much cetyl alcohol or is stored in a cool place. For your next batch, reduce the cetyl alcohol by 2 grams to create a softer texture. For the current batch, increase hemp seed oil and remelt it.
Why is my eye cream too runny?	If the cream is too soft, remelt it, add 2 grams of cetyl alcohol, stir until completely melted, then allow it to cool before pouring it back into the container.
