METHOD

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

2. Weigh PHASE B in a heat proof 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. Put in the fridge to cool, stirring occasionally until the entire mixture is below 40c.

6. Remove from the fridge and add PHASE C stir very thoroughly.

7.

8.

Final pH required:

PLEASE READ 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.


I recommend starting with 100-gram batches
