3. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously and vigorously stirring with a handheld mixer or whisk until a smooth emulsion forms.
4. Continue stirring as the mixture cools to below 40°C.
5. Once cooled, add the Calendula Extract, preservative, and Lavender Essential Oil (if using). Stir gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Transfer the cream to a clean, airtight container.

Application Recommendations:

• Apply a small amount of the Gentle Calendula Soothing Cream to clean, dry skin as needed to soothe irritation, redness, or dryness.
• Gently massage the cream into the skin until fully absorbed.
• For best results, use regularly, especially on areas prone to sensitivity or irritation.
• Store the cream in a cool, dark place.
• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any potential allergic reactions.
