Instructions
- Zero (tare) your scale with the empty measuring cup on it.
- One by one, weigh each ingredient, pressing “tare” between each addition so your scale resets to zero before the next.
- Once all ingredients are in the jar, stir thoroughly with a clean spoon or butter knife until the mixture is well blended and uniform in color and consistency.
- Using a small funnel if needed, transfer your serum into the dropper bottle.
- Label your bottle and store it in a cool, dark place.
