METHOD

1.Weigh PHASE A in a heat-proof glass beaker or bowl.

2. Weigh PHASE B in a heat-proof glass beaker or bowl.

3. Heat BOTH phases simultaneously until both phases have reached 70-80c (USE A THERMOMETER, temperatures are critical!!)

4. Remove from heat and pour PHASE A into PHASE B, and stick blend until homogenous.

5. Place in fridge to cool, stir occasionally to keep a smooth consistency. If you have an overhead stirrer you can put it on medium and let the product cool that way.

6. Remove when the entire mixture has cooled below 40c. (use a thermometer, temperatures are critical!!)

7.Weigh PHASE C and add it to the product.  Stir thoroughly!  Make sure it is mixed throughout the entire product.

8.Check and adjust pH

9.REFER TO NOTES

Final pH required: 5.0-5.5

NOTES::  


I strongly advise against purchasing ingredients on Amazon, unless it’s from Making Cosmetics or TKB Trading storefront.


I have included my suppliers for you to cross-check INCI + CAS# to source the materials globally.


 *** Please remember emulsifiers with the same INCI but different CAS# can result in a different viscosity of your final product.*****


This formula will remain stable to 40c/104F it is not stable at temperatures higher than that!!
