Basic Natural Face Cream
Recipe
Water Phase
- 160g Distilled Water
- 4g Glycerine
- 2g Colloidal Oatmeal
Oil Phase
- 6g Avocado Butter
- 18g Grapeseed Oil
- 10g Emulsifying Wax BP
Cool Down
- 2g Leucidal Liquid SF (Natural Preservative)
- 2g Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant)
- Fragrance Blend [15 drops Vanilla Essential Oil + 7 drops Lavender Essential Oil + 7 drops Bergamot Essential Oil]
Method
- Measure out your water phase ingredients: Distilled water, glycerine & colloidal oatmeal and your oil phase ingredients: avocado butter, grapeseed Oil & emulsifying wax
- Over a low heat (e.g. double boiler), melt both phases in separate heat proof glasses
- Once the oil and water phases have completely melted, mix together and transfer to a flat surface
- To create a light and airy emulsion, use an immersion blender or whisk. As the mixture cools and more air is incorporated, it will start to thicken and change to a pale cream colour
- When you’re happy with the consistency, you can move onto preserving and adding fragrance
- Use a scale to add your Cool Down ingredients: natural preservative, antioxidant & the fragrance blend (above) or any essential oils you prefer for fragrance
- Briefly mix again either by hand or using a blender to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed
- Store your natural face cream in a tinted or dark-coloured glass container or an airless pump bottle to prolong it’s shelf life
