this is a creamier, thicker lotion-rich, but not greasy. as long as you stay within the framework of the receipe you'll have have great results.
for anyone wanting a thicker cream-style for putting in jars, add 16-24 grams of steric acid. try making a 1/4 batch using 4 grms. after it has set 24 hrs, if that is not enough, GENTLY re-heat til liquid then add more steric acid until you are satisfied with results.
makes approx 45 oz
60 grams of butter--i use shea, virgin coconut, mango and cocobutter
60 grms light oils-almond, jojoba, macadamia nut and evening primrose
50 grms emulsifying wax
2 tsp vit-e t-50
(add steric acid if you are making cream)
gently heat until melted
1100 grms of any non sticky liquid, herbal teas, aloe JUICE, etc
300 grms aloe GEL
1 tsp ascorbic acid
2 tsps allantoin--comfrey extract--liberty natural
gently heat and slowly pour oils into liquids. use a wire whisk and stir briskly without making foam. stir for a few minutes, go do something else, come back in about 10 minutes and stir some more , wander off, come back again until room temp. i usually use the extra time to start cleaning up my mess and start putting things away and prepping my bottles.
germaben II-e as recommended by manufacturer
color and fragrance.
get creative! try a little strained coconut milk or powdered goats milk, royal jelly and ginseng extract--liberty natural, green tea and grapeseed extracts, maybe dead sea brine water with kelp extracts.
give this a try and let me know how you made it yours.
enjoy!
