Applications and Areas of Use in Cosmetics:
Aromatic Sweet Almond Extract is a fantastic addition to various cosmetic products, bringing a touch of natural indulgence:
- Creams and Lotions: At a 0.5-2% inclusion rate, it subtly scents facial and body creams, hand creams, and lotions, adding a delicate, comforting aroma that enhances the user's sensory experience during application.
- Shower Gels and Shampoos: Incorporate at 2-5% to transform everyday cleansing routines into a more luxurious experience. The rich, nutty fragrance lingers subtly, providing a pleasant and refreshing feel.
- Perfume Products: For crafting custom fragrances, this extract can be used at 5-10% in alcohol-based perfumes, body mists, or solid perfumes, acting as a warm, comforting base note or a delightful middle note.
- Emulsions: Its water solubility makes it ideal for scenting O/W (oil-in-water) and W/O (water-in-oil) emulsions, ensuring even distribution of the aroma throughout the product.
- Solid Shampoos and Conditioners: Contributes a lovely aroma to solid hair care bars, making them more appealing and providing a pleasant scent during use.
- Lip Balms and Lip Glosses: While not a "flavor" in the traditional sense, its appealing aroma can enhance the sensory experience of lip products, making them more enjoyable to use.
- Bath Bombs and Bath Salts: Adds an inviting, cozy scent to bath products, creating a relaxing and indulgent bath experience.
- Body Scrubs: Infuses both oil-based and emulsified body scrubs with a warm, nutty aroma, enhancing the overall spa-like feel.
- Baby Care Products (with caution and low concentrations): Its gentle, natural origin and comforting scent can be appealing for very mild baby lotions or washes, but always perform patch tests and use at the lowest effective concentration.

Instructions:
- Prepare Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water and glycerin. Slowly sprinkle xanthan gum over the surface while vigorously stirring with a whisk or stick blender until fully hydrated and no lumps remain. Heat Phase A to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
- Prepare Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine emulsifying wax NF, sweet almond oil, and shea butter. Heat Phase B to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all ingredients are completely melted and clear.
- Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously mixing with a stick blender or high-shear mixer. Blend for 2-3 minutes to ensure a stable emulsion.
- Cooling: Continue mixing occasionally as the emulsion cools down to approximately 40°C (104°F). This helps the lotion thicken and become uniform.
- Add Phase C: Once cooled, add the Aromatic Sweet Almond Extract, preservative, and Vitamin E. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- pH Adjustment (Optional): Check the pH of the lotion. If it's too high (above 5.5), add a few drops of lactic acid solution at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the desired pH of 5.0-5.5 is achieved.
- Bottle: Transfer the finished lotion into a clean, sanitized pump bottle or jar.
Application Recommendations:
Apply a generous amount of the Nourishing Sweet Almond Body Lotion to clean, dry skin on your body. Massage gently until fully absorbed. Use daily, especially after showering or bathing, to keep your skin feeling soft, smooth, and beautifully scented with the comforting aroma of sweet almond. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
