Homemade Rose Body Lotion

Formula;

heated water phase

heated oil phase

  • 15% sunflower oil- (substitute w/ any carrier oil of choice)

  • 7% ritamulse scg - (substitute w/ 4% emulsifying wax nf & 3% cetyl alcohol)

  • 5% shea butter - (substitute w/ a different butter) keep in mind, if you use a harder butter than shea butter it may result in your lotion being thicker than mine.

cool down phase


Directions;

  • combine all ingredients in the heated water phase in a heat safe container.

  • combine all ingredients in the heated oil phase in a separate heat safe container.

  • weigh the water phase and make sure you write down how much it weighs (this is including the beaker) we will be heating both phases and when this happens it will cause some of the water to evaporate.

  • create a water bath by filling a pan with about an inch of water and place both of your beakers in the pan of water and cover with foil

  • place the pan over the stove and heat both formulations to 158 degrees fahrenheit and hold there for 20 minutes. Use a temperature gun to keep track of the temperature.

  • once both phases are heated quickly weigh your water phase beaker and replace any water that was evaporated

  • now that is done, pour the water phase into the oil phase (DO NOT DO IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND)

  • blend up your product using an immersion blender

  • once the formulation is cool enough to add in your cool down ingredients you may do so. I like to add in my cool down ingredients while the formulation is still a liquid, that way I can easily pour it into my bottle. There may only be a short opening in order to do this because your formulation has to be cool enough that it doesn't destroy your preservative but still warm enough that the formulation is still a liquid. If you use liquid germall plus make sure your formulation is below 122 degrees fahrenheit

  • now pour your lotion in your bottle and you are done! :)
