Lemongrass essential oil, with its fresh, lemony fragrance, brings toning properties to the silhouette, transforming your shower routine into a revitalizing moment.

Ingredientsfor 100 g of gel

Phase 1:

• 72 g Mineral Water
• 11 g Sodium Coco

Phase 2:

• 15 g Vegetable Foam
• 20 drops Lemongrass flexuosus essential oil (organic)

Phase 3:

• Approx. 0.7 g fine salt

Phase 4:

• 32 drops of Geogard

Phase 5:

• 0.2 g Citric acid

Preparation

1. Phase 1 :
   In a beaker, weigh out the ingredients for phase 1 and heat in a bain-marie to 40°C. Mix until the Sodium Coco grains have dissolved, then remove from the bain-marie and leave to cool.

2. Phase 2:
   In a separate beaker, weigh and mix the ingredients for phase 2.

3. Mixing:
   Add phase 2 to phase 1 and mix with an emulsifying mixer.

4. Phase 3:
   Add the salt to thicken the mixture, but do not add more than 0.7 g to prevent the mixture from becoming runny. Mix well with an emulsifying mixer.

5. Phase 4:
   Add Geogard and mix well.

6. PH control:
   Measure pH with a pH strip, which should be basic (around 11). To avoid irritation, add a very small amount of citric acid and mix with an emulsifying mixer until dissolved. Check that the pH is between 5 and 7.

7. Rest:
   Allow product to rest for 1-2 hours to eliminate bubbles, then pack.

Appearance

• Texture: Transparent liquid
• Odor: Fresh and lemony

Shelf life

1 month. Do not store below 10°C, as Sodium Coco solidifies in a cool place.

Directions for use

Take a dab of foam and apply to wet body. Avoid the eye contour area and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
