Ingredients for a 50 ml jar

Phase 1:

• 18.65 g water
• 8 g organic helichrysum hydrolate
• 1 g vegetable glycerin

Phase 2:

• 3.5 g Xyliance emulsifier
• 5 g organic Nigella oil
• 5 g Coco Silicone
• 4 g organic Calendula oily macerate
• 4 g Kokum butter

Phase 3:

• 0.1 g vitamin E
• 0.4 g organic petit grain bigaradier essential oil
• 0.25 g Geogard
• 0.1 g organic Benzoin absolute

Preparation

1. Phase 1: In a beaker, weigh and mix the ingredients from phase 1. Place in a water bath at 70°C.

2. Phase 2: In another beaker, weigh out the ingredients for phase 2 and heat in a bain-marie at 70°C until the solid ingredients have melted.

3. When both phases have reached the same temperature, slowly pour phase 1 into phase 2 while stirring with an emulsifying mixer. The emulsion forms.

4. Transfer the mixture to a stainless steel bowl set over a bath of cold water, and whisk gently until creamy.

5. Add phase 3 ingredients one by one, mixing well between each addition.

6. Check pH with pH strips (it should be between 5 and 7). If the pH is higher than 7, add a little citric acid to adjust it.

7. Pour the cream into a clean jar.
