Cosmetic Recipe: "Legs Alive!" Cooling Gel

Create a light, cooling gel that provides instant relief and revitalization for tired legs, perfect for daily use.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol and allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Gelling Agent: In a small, separate container, "slurry" the Xanthan Gum with vegetable glycerin. This helps prevent clumping when added to water.
3. Combine Water Phase: In a clean beaker, measure out the distilled water.
4. Create Gel: Slowly add the Xanthan Gum/Glycerin slurry to the distilled water while continuously stirring with a whisk or high-shear mixer. Continue mixing until a smooth, uniform gel forms (this may take several minutes).
5. Add Actives: Once the gel is formed and smooth, add the Active Complex for Tired Legs. Stir well to ensure it is thoroughly dispersed.
6. Dissolve Menthol (If using): In a tiny separate container, dissolve the menthol crystals in a few drops of high-proof alcohol (like ethanol) or a very small amount of carrier oil. Once dissolved, add this solution and the optional peppermint essential oil to the gel. Stir thoroughly.
7. Add Preservative: Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the gel. Stir for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
8. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your gel. For leg products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
9. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished gel into a clean, sterile pump bottle or tube.

Recommendations for Use:

• Optimal Dosing: Adhere to the recommended inclusion rates for Active Complex for Tired Legs (3-10%) based on your product type (e.g., 6% for a massage gel as in the recipe).
• Cooling Phase Addition: If formulating an emulsion, always add the Active Complex for Tired Legs during the cool-down phase (below 45°C) to preserve the integrity of its heat-sensitive botanical compounds. For gels, it's added at room temperature.
• pH Stability: Monitor the pH of your final product. The complex is water-soluble, but ensuring the overall pH of your formula is within a skin-friendly range (typically 5.0-6.0) is crucial for efficacy and comfort.
• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its stability and active ingredient potency.
• Texture and Scent: The natural extracts contribute to the product's color and characteristic scent. This is normal and adds to the natural appeal.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivities or allergic reactions.
