Directions;
Combine all ingredients in phase A and mix until powder dissolves. May not fully dissolve. This is okay.
In a separate container combine both ingredients in phase B and mix.
In another separate container combine both ingredients in phase C and mix.
Pour phase C into phase A while mixing until fully incorporated.
Then pour phase phase A/C into phase B and mix until thickened & gelled.
Check and adjust pH to 4.5 - 5.5 then pour into desired container.
- I used a few drops of a red water soluble dye & a pink water soluble dye to get a deep pink color.
pH adjusting; natural pH of 6.66 & used 4 drops of a 50% citric acid and 50% distilled water solution to get the pH down to 5.49. You want a pH between 4.5-5.5
Benefits/Purpose of each ingredient
Organic Cherry Juice FD - a freeze dried juice powder that can be dissolved into water and used in cosmetics. Cherries are said to be high in antioxidants and vitamins A,B, & C
FSS Acerola BioFerment - fermented cherries high in antioxidants. Helps promote and bright, healthy, and radiant complexion.
Saccharomyces Ferment - a potent anti-aging ingredient, increase cell respiration, increase cell metabolism. increasing the production of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.
liquid germall plus - preservative for aqueous formulas
glycerin - humectant that hydrates the skin. In this formula it is being mixed with the xanthan gum soft to help prevent clumping. Xanthan gum clumps when it comes into contact with water. So if we mix it with glycerin first it helps prevent the clumping.
xanthan gum soft - thickener and gels jelly mask. Key ingredient to get that jelly texture.
oliveM 300 - water soluble, but has moisturizing benefits for the skin. you can use in water based formulations to add a moisturizing effect. Also works as a solubilizing agent, which is its purpose in this formula. It helps solubilize the oil soluble superscents cherry into the rest of the formula which includes water based ingredients.
SuperScents Cherry - a scented cherry extract. Smells so good and the scent is a powerful scent. You don't need to use a lot. This is oil soluble.
