Method
Add phase A to a heat resistant glass beaker and heat to 140F/60C to melt the ingredients. Add phase B to phase A and stir well. Remove from the heat. At 125F/50C add phase C and stir well. Then pour while still warm and liquid into screw-up deo containers. Consistency can be adjusted by adding more triglyceride and cyclo-dimethicone to make it softer and cetyl alcohol to make it harder.
