Heat both beakers to 65 – 70 C. Add phase A to B, stirring well. Homogenize if necessary. Remove from heat, stirring well. Mix the Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) with 2ml of glycerine and add to the mixture once it has cooled to below 40degrees Celsius. Add the remainder of ingredients from mixture C and blend well.
