Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Post-Sun Repair Balm

Create a nurturing post-sun repair balm using Bog Rosemary Oil Extract to soothe and comfort skin after sun exposure.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol or a sanitizing solution.
2. Melt Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine shea butter, mango butter, and calendula-infused jojoba oil. Gently heat using a double boiler or a very low heat setting until all butters are completely melted and the mixture is uniform. Do not exceed 40°C.
3. Cooling: Remove the beaker from heat and allow the mixture to cool down. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooling.
4. Add Phase B: When the mixture has cooled to below 40°C (ideally around 30-35°C), add the Bog Rosemary Oil Extract, Bisabolol, Vitamin E, and Lavender Essential Oil.
5. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well for several minutes to ensure all the active ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the balm.
6. Pour & Set: Carefully pour the still-liquid balm into your chosen clean, sterile jars or tins. Allow it to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster solidification.
7. Labeling: Label your balm with the product name, ingredients, and preparation date.

Recommendations for Application:

• Usage Rate: The recommended inclusion rate for Bog Rosemary Oil Extract is 0.05-5% in the active phase. For this recipe, we suggest 1-3% to provide noticeable soothing benefits. Always start with a lower percentage and adjust based on desired efficacy and product stability.
• Temperature Sensitivity: It is crucial not to heat the Bog Rosemary Oil Extract above 40°C (104°F). Add it to your formulation during the cool-down phase, after the main oil/butter blend has reached the appropriate temperature, to preserve its delicate compounds.
• Patch Testing: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use, especially for sensitive skin types, to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
• Storage: Store the finished balm in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its efficacy and extend its shelf life.
• Consistency: The final consistency of the balm will depend on the cooling process. If you desire a firmer balm, you can slightly increase the butter content. If you prefer a softer balm, increase the liquid oil.
• Natural Product: As a natural product, slight variations in color or aroma of the extract may occur between batches. This is normal and does not affect its quality or efficacy.
