Cosmetic Recipe: "Crimson Sparkle" Body Glitter Gel

Create a dazzling, easy-to-apply body glitter gel perfect for parties, festivals, or any occasion where you want to shine.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Gel Base (Phase A): In a clean beaker, measure out the distilled water. Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum over the surface of the water while continuously stirring (a mini-mixer or frother works well here) to prevent clumps. Continue stirring until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and a smooth gel forms (this may take 15-30 minutes). Once smooth, add the glycerin and stir well.
3. Incorporate Glitter & Actives (Phase B): Add the Red Glitter TS 205 to the prepared gel base. Start with a lower percentage (e.g., 5%) and gradually add more until you reach your desired sparkle intensity (up to 15%). Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure the glitter is evenly dispersed throughout the gel.
4. Add Preservative & Fragrance: Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative and, if desired, a cosmetic-grade fragrance oil. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
5. pH Adjustment (Optional but Recommended): Check the pH of your gel. For body products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. 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.
6. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished glitter gel into a clean, sterile jar or squeeze tube.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Glitter Concentration: The 5-15% range for Red Glitter TS 205 provides significant sparkle. For a more subtle shimmer, use closer to 5%; for a truly dramatic, opaque glitter effect, aim for 10-15%.
• Application: Apply the body glitter gel directly to clean, dry skin using your fingertips or a flat brush. It's perfect for arms, legs, décolletage, or any area you want to highlight with sparkle.
• Removal: Most glitter gels can be easily removed with soap and water. For stubborn glitter, an oil-based cleanser can be effective.
• Storage: Store the finished glitter gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain product stability and preserve the glitter's brilliance.
• Safety Around Eyes: While this glitter is cosmetic grade, exercise caution when applying it near the eyes. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., inner elbow) before full application to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
• Shake/Stir Before Use: Glitter can sometimes settle over time. Gently shake or stir the container before each use to ensure even distribution of the glitter throughout the gel.
