Formula

Phase B


Phase C



200 gram Recipe


Phase A


Phase B


Phase C




Directions;

  • In another sanitized heat proof container, combine all the ingredients in phase B.

  • Tare scale and weight phase A and write down how much it weighs. We will be heating this up and some of the water will evaporate and we will need to replace that after its heated.

  • Cover both phase A & B with aluminum foil and place them in a water bath (A water bath is a pan filled with an inch or so of water. Place your pan on your Stove Top on medium heat.)

  • Let both phase A & B heat to 70°C / 158°F. Make sure everything is melted in phase B and all powder has dissolved in phase A

  • While phase A & B are heating we can work on phase C

  • Combine the distilled water and powdered ingredients together first in phase C and mix until dissolved before adding in everything else. Set aside until later.

  • Once phase A & B are heated to 70°C / 158°F.  Remove phase A from heat and weigh it, replacing any water that has evaporated with distilled water.

  • Remove phase B from heat

  • Come back and mix periodically as the lotion cools, but don’t mix again once it has started to thicken. 

  • Once the lotion has cooled to 40°C / 104°F you can add in the phase C ingredients.
