Heat the mixture in a saucepan over a bain-marie until the rice wax and shea butter have completely melted. Remove the pan from the heat and wait for the mixture to cool slightly. Add the rosemary hydrosol in small streams, drawing 8s with the pestle on the bottom of the mortar to set the emulsion. Add the liquorice powder, lanolin plant substitute, propolis plant tincture and vitamin E, continuing to make figure-of-eight movements with the pestle. Pour the mixture into the jar and store in a cool place.

Aroma-Zone important note: It is not easy to create a stable emulsion (cream, lotion) using only a wax. Waxes have a low emulsifying power, so we advise you to add an emulsifier. We also recommend adding a preservative to ensure that the preparation is preserved.
