Cosmetic Recipe: Dazzling Gold Body Shimmer Gel

Create a simple yet stunning body shimmer gel using our Gold Lurex Glitter, perfect for adding a radiant glow to your skin for any occasion.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottle/jar) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Gel Base (Phase A): In a clean beaker, disperse the xanthan gum into the glycerin, stirring well to form a lump-free slurry. This prevents clumping when adding water.
3. Hydrate Xanthan Gum: Slowly add the distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum slurry while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk until a clear, homogeneous gel forms. This may take a few minutes as the xanthan gum fully hydrates.
4. Cool Down: Allow the gel base to cool to room temperature.
5. Add Phase B (Active/Decorative): Once cooled, add the Gold Lurex Glitter, panthenol, and liquid preservative to the gel base. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure the glitter is evenly dispersed throughout the gel.
6. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished body shimmer gel into your sanitized fine spray bottle or a jar.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Glitter Concentration: The 5% concentration of Gold Lurex Glitter provides a significant, noticeable shimmer. You can adjust this percentage based on your desired level of sparkle. For a more subtle effect, use 2-3%; for maximum dazzle, go up to 8-10%.
• Even Dispersion: Ensure the glitter is well-dispersed in the gel. If using a spray bottle, ensure the nozzle is wide enough for the glitter particles (0.3*1.5 mm). For finer sprays, consider using a finer glitter size or a jar.
• Application: Apply the body shimmer gel directly to clean skin on arms, legs, décolletage, or anywhere you desire a radiant glow. Massage gently for even distribution. For best results, apply over moisturized skin.
• Storage: Store the body shimmer gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The preservative ensures its microbial stability.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Eye Area Caution: While this glitter is cosmetic-grade, always exercise extreme caution if applying near the eyes. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Not for Candles: As stated, this glitter is not suitable for use in candle making due to its composition and potential safety concerns when heated.
