Cosmetic Recipe: "Diamond Dust" Glitter Body Gel

Create a shimmering, lightweight body gel that delivers an ethereal, diamond-like sparkle, perfect for special occasions.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Hydrate Carbomer (Phase A): In a clean beaker, slowly sprinkle the Carbomer powder onto the surface of the distilled water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to fully hydrate. Then, gently stir to ensure there are no lumps.
3. Add Humectant: Add the glycerin to the hydrated Carbomer mixture. Stir gently.
4. Neutralize & Form Gel (Phase B): Gradually add drops of the Triethanolamine (TEA) or Sodium Hydroxide solution to the mixture while stirring continuously. The mixture will begin to thicken into a gel. Continue adding until your desired gel consistency is reached and the pH is between 5.5 and 6.5. Check pH with strips or a meter.
5. Add Preservative & Fragrance: Once the gel is formed and the pH is adjusted, add the broad-spectrum preservative and optional fragrance oil. Stir well until fully incorporated.
6. Incorporate Glitter: Slowly add the White AB Tube Glitter 500 to the gel. Gently fold the glitter into the gel using a spatula or spoon to avoid introducing too many air bubbles and to ensure even distribution.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully transfer the finished glitter body gel into a clean, sterile jar or pump bottle.

Recommendations for Use:

• Glitter Suspension: Due to the tube shape, some settling of the glitter may occur over time. A gentle shake or stir before each use will redistribute the glitter.
• Application: Apply a small amount of the glitter body gel to clean, dry skin on your arms, décolletage, legs, or anywhere you desire a dazzling, shimmering effect.
• Layering: For a more intense sparkle, allow the first layer to dry and apply a second layer.
• Safety: While glitters intended for cosmetic use are generally safe, always ensure the White AB Tube Glitter 500 specifically states "cosmetic grade" or is approved for skin use by the manufacturer if you are making products for sale that will be applied directly to the skin. If not explicitly stated, limit its use to decorative non-skin contact applications like soaps or candles.
• Storage: Store the finished glitter body gel in a cool, dark place to maintain its stability and prevent any potential degradation of the glitter's sparkle.
• Eye Area Caution: Exercise extreme caution if using near the eyes. Always recommend a patch test before full application, especially for sensitive skin.
• Clean-up: Glitter can be messy! Work on a protected surface and be prepared for some residual sparkle during the making process.
