Cosmetic Recipe: "Post-Sun Soothe" Hydrating After-Sun Mist

Create a lightweight, soothing, and hydrating mist perfect for calming and moisturizing skin after sun exposure, featuring Hydrolyzed Walnut Shell Protein.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, spray bottles) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A: In a clean beaker, combine the distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol. Stir gently until completely mixed.
3. Prepare Phase B (Actives): In a separate small container, dissolve the Aloe Vera Powder 200X and Allantoin in a small amount of distilled water from Phase A. Stir well until dissolved.
4. Combine Phases A & B: Add the dissolved actives from Phase B to Phase A. Stir the mixture thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
5. Add Hydrolyzed Walnut Shell Protein: Once the mixture is at room temperature (below 40°C), add the Hydrolyzed Walnut Shell Protein. Stir well to ensure it is fully incorporated.
6. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the mist mixture. Stir thoroughly for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your mist. For after-sun products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished mist into a clean, sterile spray bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosage: Use Hydrolyzed Walnut Shell Protein at 1.5-2% for effective after-sun hydration and soothing.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Remember the crucial instruction: do not heat above 40°C (104°F). Always add this ingredient in the cool-down phase of your formulation to preserve its active properties.
• Application: Spray liberally onto skin after sun exposure. Gently pat or allow to air dry. It can also be used as a refreshing body mist throughout the day.
• Storage: Store the finished mist in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain ingredient integrity and product stability. Refrigeration can provide an extra cooling sensation, which is pleasant for after-sun products.
• Patch Test: Before widespread use, it is always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin to ensure no sensitivities or allergic reactions occur.
• Shake Before Use: Since this is a liquid mixture, a gentle shake before each use can help ensure all ingredients are well-distributed.
