Ingredients for 100 ml...
Oily phase :
- 28 ml of jojoba oil
- 4 g of Olivem 1000
- 5 drops of vitamin E
Aqueous phase :
- 30 ml of mineral water
- 10 ml of witch hazel hydrosol
- 10 ml of rose geranium hydrosol
- 15 ml of aloe vera gel
- 2 g of vegetable glycerin
- 5 drops of Cosgard preservative
Material
- 2 bowls
- 1 beaker
- 1 spatula
- 1 bain-marie
- 1 thermometer
- 1 mini whisk
- 1 jar of 100 ml
Preparation
1/ Clean and disinfect equipment, utensils, work surface and hands.
2/ Weigh the oil phase in a beaker and heat in a bain-marie to 70°C maximum. Remove from the heat and let cool. Mix well.
3/ Weigh the aqueous phase in a beaker and heat in a bain-marie to 40°C maximum. Remove from the heat. Mix well.
4/ When the 2 mixtures are at the same temperature (between 40°C and 50°C), slowly pour the aqueous phase into the oily phase without stopping stirring vigorously with the mini-whisk, for around 3 minutes, until the mixture turns white and becomes homogenous.
5/ Without stopping stirring, place the beaker in a little cold water to accelerate the cooling and setting of the emulsion for another 3 minutes.
6/ Gradually add the aloe vera, mixing well between each addition.
7/ Transfer the preparation into a previously sterilized container!
