Cosmetic Recipe: "Golden Hour" Shimmering Body Gel

Create a luxurious, shimmering body gel that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and looking radiant with a subtle golden sparkle.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, container) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Gel Base): In a clean beaker, slowly sprinkle the Carbomer over the surface of the distilled water while stirring continuously to prevent clumps. Let it hydrate for at least 30 minutes to an hour, or until fully dispersed and no dry lumps remain.
3. Form the Gel: Add the Glycerin to the hydrated Carbomer mixture. Then, slowly add drops of Triethanolamine (TEA) or the 10% Sodium Hydroxide solution while stirring. Continue adding until the mixture thickens into a clear, homogenous gel. Check the pH at this stage; it should be around 5.5-6.5 for skin products. Adjust if necessary.
4. Add Phase B (Active & Decorative Phase): Once the gel is formed and at room temperature (below 40°C), add the Gold Lurex Glitter, preservative, and optional fragrance oil (pre-mixed with a solubilizer if oil-based). Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure even dispersion of the glitter without creating too many air bubbles.
5. Add Phase C (Optional): If using Niacinamide, dissolve it in a tiny amount of distilled water first, then add it to the gel and mix well.
6. Final Mix & Bottle: Give the gel a final gentle stir. Carefully transfer the shimmering body gel into a clean, sterile container with an appropriate dispenser (pump bottle or jar).

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Glitter Suspension: Due to its stick shape, the Gold Lurex Glitter may settle over time. A gentle shake or stir before each use will redistribute the glitter evenly.
• Dosage: The 1% concentration of glitter provides a noticeable shimmer. You can adjust this slightly (0.5% to 2%) based on the desired intensity of sparkle.
• Incorporation: Always add glitter to the cooled product or the final phase of your formulation to avoid issues with heat sensitivity or dissolution.
• Skin Safety: Ensure all other ingredients in your formulation are skin-safe and intended for cosmetic use.
• Storage: Store the finished gel in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its stability and prevent glitter from clumping or discoloring. The preservative ensures shelf life.
• Application: Apply a small amount of the shimmering body gel to clean, dry skin on your arms, legs, décolletage, or anywhere you desire a radiant glow. Massage gently until absorbed.
• 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 or are new to an ingredient.
• No Candle Use: This product is not suitable for use in candle making due to its composition and potential safety concerns when burned.
