Ingredientsfor 100 g of shower gel
Phase 1:
- 66 g mineral water
- 10 g organic cypress hydrolate
- 2 g Vegetable glycerin
- 1 g Xanthan Gum
Phase 2:
- 5 g Sodium Coco
Phase 3:
- 10 g Vegetable Mousse
- 25 drops Lemon Litsée essential oil (organic)
- 25 drops Grapefruit essential oil (organic)
- 10 drops Lemongrass essential oil (organic)
Phase 4:
- 3.5 g Prickly pear seed powder
Phase 5:
- 0.3-0.4 g Citric Acid
Phase 6:
- 32 drops Geogard
Preparation
-
Phase 1:
- In a beaker, weigh out phase 1 (water + hydrolat + glycerine) and mix with a spatula.
- Sprinkle in the Xanthan gum and mix with a mixer-emulsifier (mobile deflocculator) until you obtain a thick, transparent, lump-free gel.
-
Phase 2:
- Add phase 2 (Sodium Coco) and place this mixture in a water bath at 40°C to melt the sodium coco. Mix well with a spatula or mixer.
-
Phase 3:
- In a separate beaker, weigh out phase 3 (vegetable foam and essential oils) and mix well with a spatula.
- Add phase 3 to the gel and mix (spatula or mixer-emulsifier).
-
Phase 4:
- Add phase 4 (Prickly pear seed powder) and mix with a spatula to distribute all the seeds evenly throughout the gel.
-
PH control:
- Measure pH with a pH strip. At this stage, the pH must be basic (above 9) because of the plant foam.
- To avoid irritation, add a very small amount of phase 5 (Citric Acid) and mix with a mixer. Check the pH once the grains of acid have solubilized (very important).
- The pH should be between 5 and 7.
-
Phase 6:
- Add phase 6 (Geogard) and mix one last time with a mixer-emulsifier.
-
Packaging:
- Package your product.
