Description and Key Features

Our Active Complex for Tired Legs is a masterfully formulated blend of natural extracts, suspended in a water and glycerin base for optimal stability and efficacy. Its characteristic color, from yellow to deep amber, is a natural reflection of its rich botanical composition. This complex is water-soluble, ensuring effortless integration into a wide array of aqueous cosmetic systems, from refreshing sprays to rich balms.

The remarkable efficacy of this complex stems from its expertly chosen active ingredients (INCI: Purified water, glycerin, pine buds, plantain leaves, juniper berries, rosemary leaves, preservative phenoxyethanol (euxyl)):

• Pine Buds: Known for their stimulating and circulation-boosting properties, helping to alleviate feelings of heaviness and fatigue.
• Plantain Leaves: Revered for their soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, ideal for comforting tired and stressed skin.
• Juniper Berries: Contribute to detoxification and can help reduce the appearance of swelling, promoting a feeling of lightness.
• Rosemary Leaves: Celebrated for their invigorating and circulation-enhancing qualities, offering a refreshing sensation and promoting overall leg comfort.

These potent botanicals work synergistically to provide a comprehensive solution for tired, achy legs. The inclusion of glycerin ensures additional hydration, while phenoxyethanol (Euxyl) acts as a reliable preservative, ensuring the complex's stability and shelf life.

Cosmetic Recipe: Invigorating Herbal Leg Gel

Create a light, non-greasy gel that quickly absorbs to provide instant relief and invigoration for tired, heavy legs.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Xanthan Gum Slurry: In a small, separate container, mix the Xanthan Gum with a small amount of glycerin (from your total glycerin amount, e.g., 1%). Stir well to form a lump-free slurry. This helps prevent clumping when added to water.
3. Combine Phase A: In a clean beaker, measure out the distilled water and the remaining glycerin. Stir gently.
4. Add Xanthan Gum: Slowly add the Xanthan Gum slurry to Phase A while continuously stirring with a whisk or stick blender until a uniform gel begins to form. Continue stirring periodically until fully hydrated and lump-free (this may take 15-20 minutes).
5. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Once the gel base is smooth, add the Active Complex for Tired Legs. If using menthol crystals, first dissolve them in a small amount of Polysorbate 20 (not included in the main recipe, but necessary for menthol dissolution in water-based products) or a small amount of propanediol, then add to the gel. Add Allantoin. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well dispersed.
6. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the gel. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your gel. For leg care products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally suitable. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished gel into a clean, sterile pump bottle or tube.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: For gels and lotions, the 4-6% inclusion rate for Active Complex for Tired Legs provides effective relief. For more intensive action, you can go up to 10% in specific treatments like herbal massages.
• Incorporation: As a water-soluble liquid, the Active Complex is best added to the water phase of your formulation. For cold-process gels, add it after your gelling agent has fully hydrated.
• Sensory Experience: Consider adding essential oils like peppermint or cypress (at very low dilutions, e.g., 0.1-0.2%) for an enhanced cooling sensation and additional therapeutic benefits, if desired and compatible with your preservative system.
• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its efficacy and shelf life. The natural color of the complex may contribute to the final hue of your product.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using new ingredients.
• Texture: Adjust the amount of Xanthan Gum (or your preferred gelling agent) to achieve your desired gel consistency, from a lighter serum-gel to a thicker massage gel.
