Cosmetic Recipe: "Spicy Revive" Invigorating Shower Gel

Create an invigorating shower gel with the natural, spicy aroma of Thyme Aromatic Extract, perfect for a refreshing start to your day.

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, shower gel bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.

2. Combine Surfactants (Phase B): In a clean beaker, gently combine Coco Glucoside and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Stir slowly to avoid creating too much foam.

3. Prepare Water Phase (Phase A): In a separate beaker, measure out the distilled water.

4. Combine Phases A & B: Slowly pour Phase B (surfactants) into Phase A (water) while stirring gently. Continue stirring until well combined and homogeneous.

5. Add Additives (Phase C): Once the base is formed and cooled (if any gentle warming occurred from mixing), add the Thyme Aromatic Extract, glycerin, and preservative. Stir gently but thoroughly after each addition to ensure even distribution.

6. Adjust pH: Using pH strips or a pH meter, check the pH of the shower gel. For a shower gel, an ideal pH is typically between 5.0 and 6.0. Add drops of a 50% citric acid solution as needed, stirring well after each addition, until the desired pH is reached.

7. Thicken (Optional Phase D): If you desire a thicker consistency, slowly add your pre-dispersed xanthan gum (e.g., dispersed in a small amount of glycerin or a non-polar oil) while stirring continuously until the desired viscosity is achieved. Xanthan gum will take some time to fully hydrate and thicken.

8. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished shower gel into a clean, sterile shower gel bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Fragrance Percentage: The 3% concentration of Thyme Aromatic Extract in this recipe provides a pleasant and noticeable aroma. You can adjust this within the 2-5% range for shower gels and shampoos, or as little as 0.5% for a subtle scent in creams. For perfumery, you can use 5-10%.

• Mixing: As a water-soluble extract, it mixes easily into the water phase or finished product. Avoid high-shear mixing once added to prevent excessive foaming, especially in surfactant-based products.

• pH Stability: Thyme Aromatic Extract is stable across a wide pH range, making it versatile for various formulations.

• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the aromatic extract and extend shelf life.

• Usage: Apply to wet skin or a loofah in the shower, lather, and rinse thoroughly. Enjoy the invigorating and aromatic experience.

• Safety: Always conduct a small patch test on a discreet area of skin before full use, especially if you have sensitive skin, to check for any adverse reactions.

• Food Use: While this extract is suitable for food applications, this particular recipe is for a shower gel. Ensure proper handling and labeling for any food-grade products.
