Last and final step!
So the moisturizer was the last step but yet the most complex part of it. It's like one of those things that if you don't do right it won't come out correctly. The texture, smell, ingredients have to be just right for people to wear. Not only is that the most important but also the key to this whole process is patience.
Before anything let me tell you the ingredients!
-3/4 ounce of beeswax
-1/4 of a cup of coconut oil
-1 cup of aloe vera gel
-10 drops of essential oil
Some struggles that we faced was the fact that our measuring cup didn't have 1/4 of a cup on it so we transformed it into millimeters and measure it on it graduated cylinder to make sure it was accurate. Another thing that happened was giving the mixture to settle so what when we blend it, the texture could be perfect but that didn't happen right away. In fact I had to mix it together by hand after. I think that the beeswax was way to thick.

Pros & Cons:
Something I am really proud of is the effort that Darcy and I put into this. No matter how hard and frustrating this whole project was we went into it with confidence and excitement. Once we started this project we figured out how complex and time consuming this project was. And the problems that we faced is mostly located in the top of the picture slide show.
Even though we faced a lot of unexpected problems we both learned a lot from this. Not only that but we both networked with a lot of people to help us get through this process.
