Soothing Body Wash


Formula;

water phase

sepimax zen phase

surfactant phase

cool down phase

Directions;

  • combine ingredients from water phase in a beaker. you may have to heat using a water bath in order to get the allantoin to dissolve.

  • once all ingredients in water phase are combined and allantoin is dissolved sprinkle the sepimax zen on top of your water formulation (do not mix)

  • cover your formulation and let sit for at least 8 hours (I let mine sit over night)

  • after 8 hours you will notice the water formulation has thickened up a lot and the formulation with be very gunky and clumpy. mix up as much as possible

  • take a separate beaker and combine your surfactant phase. mix ingredients together till well combine

  • now slowly pour your surfactant phase into your water phase.

  • carefully mix everything together

  • now it's time to add in your cool down ingredients and mix them in until they are well combine.

  • there may still be clumps in your formulation. if so, let your formulation sit for a few more hours (I let mine sit over night)

  • once you come back everything should be a nice gelled consistency and there should be no clumps.

  • pour your body gel into a bottle of your choice and you are done :)

Benefits of each ingredient

  • aloe vera liquid - soothing, hydrating, and calming to the skin.

  • chamomile hydrosol - it is one of the most gentle anti-inflammatory's of all the hydrosols. Well known for its healing, soothing, effect on skin.

  • allantoin - has moisturizing, soothing, anti-irritating properties and stimulates healthy, normal tissue formation

  • glycerin - hydrates and locks in moisture

  • sepimax zen - thickener and it produces products with an elegant skin feel and velvety touch. can also help emulsify oils

  • foaming apple - is an anionic surfactant derived from amino acids obtained from apple juice. will help gently cleanse the skin.

  • coco glucoside- acts as our emulsifier and is a natural, non-ionic, surfactant very similar to decly glucoside. it's ultra mild, and one of the most gentle of the cleansing agents, making it ideal for all foaming and cleansing products, especially those designed for fragile or sensitive skin.

  • cucumber extract - soothes skin, moisturizing, has vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.

Exact formula I used; (makes 240 grams)

surfactant phase

cool down phase


PS. This is a really old recipe and looking back at it, this looks like a creamy body wash, not a gel. So that is why I changed the title of this blog, yet the video and PDF file says gel.
