-
Essential Oils (Optional, for fragrance): 0.5%
-
pH Adjuster (if needed): To achieve pH 5.5 ± 0.5
Equipment Needed:
-
Heat-resistant glass beakers
-
Double boiler or water bath
-
Digital thermometer
-
Stick blender or immersion blender
-
Stirring rod
-
pH meter or pH strips
-
Sanitized lotion containers
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Water Phase (Phase A)
-
Measure the distilled water, glycerin, and aloe vera juice into a clean, heat-resistant beaker.
-
Stir to combine.
-
Place the beaker in a water bath or double boiler and heat to 80-85°C.
Step 2: Prepare the Oil Phase (Phase B)
-
In another heat-resistant beaker, measure Natural Wax 2, the carrier oil, shea butter, and Vitamin E oil.
-
Place the beaker in the same water bath or double boiler and heat to 80-85°C, ensuring the Natural Wax 2 fully melts and combines with the oils.
Step 3: Combine the Phases
-
Once both the water and oil phases have reached 80-85°C, slowly pour the oil phase (Phase B) into the water phase (Phase A).
-
Begin blending immediately using a stick blender or immersion blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes to ensure proper emulsification.
Step 4: Cool and Stabilize
-
Remove the mixture from the heat and continue stirring gently as it cools.
-
When the lotion cools to around 40°C, add the preservative and essential oils (Phase C).
-
Stir thoroughly to incorporate.
Step 5: Adjust the pH
-
Use a pH meter or strips to check the pH of the lotion.
-
Adjust as needed to ensure the pH is between 5.0 and 5.5, which is ideal for skin and to ensure preservative efficacy. Use a citric acid solution to lower the pH or a sodium hydroxide solution to raise it.
Step 6: Packaging
-
Transfer the lotion into sanitized containers while it is still warm but not hot (around 30-40°C).
-
Seal the containers and label them with the formulation date and ingredients.
Notes and Tips:
-
Heat Sensitivity: Always heat the water and oil phases to 80-85°C to ensure Natural Wax 2 fully activates for proper emulsification.
-
Stability Testing: Test the lotion for stability by observing it over a few days to ensure no separation occurs.
-
Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
