Fluid Face Cream

Description

With its light cream texture, this fluid face cream is specially formulated to suit young skin as well as combination and oily skin. It offers daily moisturization and protection thanks to its veil texture, providing a sensation of freshness all day long.

Vegetable oils of coconut and avocado nourish the skin without weighing it down, while soy wax contributes to the formula's softness. Cistus hydrolate, renowned for its regenerating properties, combined with Cistus essential oil, helps combat the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. So this cream doesn't just moisturize: it also helps maintain your skin's elasticity and youthfulness.

Ingredients for 50 g of cream

PHASE 1:

• 36 g mineral water
• 5 g organic Cistus hydrolate
• 1 g vegetable glycerin

PHASE 2 :

• 1.5 g Xyliance Emulsifier
• 2 g organic Coconut vegetable oil
• 1 g organic Avocado oil
• 1.5 g Coco silicone
• 1 g Soy Wax

PHASE 3:

• 5 drops Vitamin E
• 18 drops Geogard
• 2 drops organic Cistus essential oil

Preparation

1. Phase 1: Weigh out the mineral water in a beaker, then add the Cistus hydrosol and vegetable glycerin. Mix with a spatula.

2. Phase 2: In another beaker, weigh out the ingredients for phase 2 and mix with a spatula.

3. Heating: Heat the two beakers separately in a bain-marie until they reach approx. 70°C. When both phases are at the same temperature (very important for a successful emulsion), remove from the water bath.

4. Emulsification: Slowly pour phase 2 into the beaker containing phase 1, while mixing with an emulsifying beater (mobile deflocculator) for at least 2 minutes.

5. Mixing: Shake the mixture for 2 minutes: it will whiten and gain in viscosity.

6. Cooling: Pour the mixture into a stainless steel bowl and continue stirring with a hand whisk. Place the bowl in a bain-marie of cold water to cool the cream, while continuing to whisk.

7. Add Phase 3: Add Phase 3 ingredients one at a time, mixing well between each addition with a spatula.

8. Check pH: Use pH test strips to check that the pH is between 5 and 7.

9. Packaging: Your cream is packaged in a 50 ml jar.
