Jojoba oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, squalane and cetearyl alcohol are combined and heated until the lipid phase melts completely. In a separate vessel purified water and glycerin are heated. When both phases reach similar temperature the oil phase is incorporated into the aqueous phase with continuous mixing to form an emulsion. During cooling geraniol is added and mixed until evenly dispersed. The preservative system is introduced and pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for cosmetic emulsions. The final formulation forms a smooth aromatic cream with floral fragrance.
