Cosmetic Recipe: "Cooling & Soothing Foot Gel"

Create a lightweight, refreshing gel that instantly cools, soothes, and revitalizes tired feet, perfect for daily use or after long periods of standing.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Gelling Agent: In a clean beaker, disperse the Xanthan Gum into a small amount of glycerin (e.g., 5-10ml) to create a slurry. This helps prevent lumps.
3. Combine Base: In a separate beaker, measure out the distilled water. While stirring continuously, slowly add the Xanthan Gum/Glycerin slurry to the water. Continue stirring until the gum is fully hydrated and a smooth gel forms (this may take 15-30 minutes, or you can use a high-shear mixer).
4. Incorporate Actives: Once the gel base is smooth, add the All-Day Foot Active Complex. Stir thoroughly until it's completely integrated into the gel.
5. Add Essential Oil (Optional): If using, add the Peppermint Essential Oil. Stir again to ensure even distribution.
6. Add Preservative: Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the gel. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure it's evenly dispersed.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your gel. For foot products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin comfort and preservative efficacy. If necessary, add a diluted Lactic Acid solution drop by drop, stirring and rechecking the pH until the desired range is reached.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished foot gel into a clean, sterile pump bottle or jar.

Recommendations for Use:

• Optimal Dosing: For gels, a 4-6% inclusion rate of the All-Day Foot Active Complex is recommended. For this recipe, we used 5% for a good balance of effect and feel.
• Application: Apply a generous amount of the gel to clean feet and ankles, massaging gently until absorbed. Focus on areas feeling particularly tired or sore.
• Frequency: Use daily, especially in the morning before starting your day, after physical activity, or in the evening for soothing relief.
• Storage: Store the finished gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The preservative ensures stability, but consistent storage conditions are key.
• Cooling Effect: The peppermint in the complex and the optional added essential oil will provide an immediate cooling sensation.
• Layering: For enhanced benefits, consider using this gel after a foot bath incorporating the All-Day Foot Active Complex at a higher percentage.
• Consistency: The texture of the gel can be adjusted by varying the percentage of your chosen gelling agent.
• External Use Only: Remind users that this product is for external cosmetic use only.
