Organic Foundation w/ Sunscreen

Directions

Step 1

* Using your scale and the tare function, measure and combine the first five ingredients into the glass bowl into your double-boiler. * DO NOT add the zinc oxide, cacao powder, or cinnamon * Completely melt the first five ingredients, stirring occasionally with your whisk. * Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Wipe excess moisture off the outside of your bowl. * Place your bowl back on the scale, hit tare, and add in spoonfuls of zinc oxide until you get to .5oz. This gives you approximately a 10 SPF coverage (as it’s approximately 10% of the total weigh). Whisk to completely combine. * Add 1/8t cinnamon; whisk to combine. * Add cacao powder a little at a time and whisk to get to the color you need… - 1/2T cacao powder is a light foundation - 1/2T plus 1t is a medium foundation - 1/2T plus 2t is a medium-dark foundation - Simply start with 1/2T of cacao powder, whisk to combine, check on your wrist for a color match, and add more cacao powder (1/2t at a time) until you reach your perfect color * Wipe any excess moisture off the outside of the bowl (water in this product is not your friend). * Pour into your selected container(s) and allow to cool and fully setup. NOTE: You will likely have a bit of settling at the bottom. Don’t pour that into your container, as you will end up with flecks of the powders. We just discard that part.

Usage

This is a silky smooth foundation. It is easily spreadable, yet firm enough to stay on for hours (thanks to the beeswax). As such, you can apply it in several ways and you have several container choices. Your fingers work fine for application (as long as they are clean). Simply scoop your finger into the container and apply directly to your face. Or, you could scoop a clean makeup sponge/foundation brush into the container and apply it that way, too.

Shelf Life
