Deep Moisturising Cleansing Milk Recipe

Application:

• Deep Moisturising Cleansing Milk

Equipment:

• A means of heating your mixture.
• A small pan (a milk pan is usually good).
• Spoons.
• Scales that can weigh down to 1 gram.
• 1 bottle with lotion pump dispenser and a funnel to fill.

Instructions:

• Add the polyglyceryl-3 palmitate, glyceryl caprylate, Vitamin E, macadamia butter and jojoba butter to the pan.
   
• Heat gently to around 50°C while stirring to ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
   
• Take off the heat and add in the macadamia oil, shea oil with mixing.
   
• Once cooled to below 40°C add your choice of essential oils up to 2% (2 grams in 100g or approx. 40 drops) for use in the bath or 0.5-1% for facial use.
   
• Mix well then decant into your pump pack.

Directions For Use:

• When completed this will look like a thickened oil and can be pumped out and put into the bath to turn it milky and to help condition the skin while bathing. If you don't have a bath the mixture can be used as a facial wash for dry skin as the polyglyceryl-3 palmitate will gently remove dirt from the face while the oils and butters will moisturise. Be sure to rinse off and pat dry before continuing your usual routine

Storage & Shelf Life

• Shelf life testing hasn't been carried out but the mixture is expected to remain stable and usable if kept dry for between 3-6 months. No preservative is required as this is an oil-only mix and the oils used are relatively stable against oxidation. Keep away from bright light, moisture and extreme heat and cold as with all cosmetic formulations.

Caution:

• Essential oils can irritate sensitive skin, you don't have to add them to this recipe and always perform a patch test on your blend before using the product on the body or face.
• Glyceryl Caprylate can sting very sensitive skin. It is required in this recipe to help the formulation function but if you have a sensitivity to this ingredient or try your blend and it stings you can leave this out. We have reduced the level of Glyceryl Caprylate in this formula to 5% (from a recommended 10%) to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
