Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers) using isopropyl alcohol or a sanitizing solution. Allow everything to air dry completely.
- Prepare Phase A: In a clean beaker, combine the distilled water and glycerin. Stir well.
- Disperse Xanthan Gum (Phase B): In a separate small container, mix the xanthan gum with a tiny amount of glycerin or a portion of the distilled water from Phase A to form a slurry. This helps prevent clumps. Slowly add this slurry to Phase A while continuously stirring vigorously with a whisk or stick blender until a smooth, uniform gel forms. This may take several minutes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to fully hydrate and thicken.
- Add Phase C: Once the gel has formed, add the Allantoin and preservative to the gel. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Incorporate Phase D (Glitter & Scent): Gently fold in the Silver Tube Glitter 100. Start with 0.5% and add more until you achieve your desired level of shimmer. If using, add the fragrance oil and mix carefully to avoid creating too many bubbles.
- Final Transfer: Carefully spoon or pour the finished shimmer body gel into a clean, air-tight container (e.g., a jar or tube).
Recommendations for Use:
- Glitter Concentration: Start with a lower concentration of Silver Tube Glitter 100 (e.g., 0.5%) and gradually add more until you achieve your desired dazzling effect. Overuse can make the product feel gritty or settle excessively.
- Mixing: Due to its larger particle size, the tube glitter may tend to settle over time. Advise users to gently shake or stir the product before each use to redistribute the glitter evenly.
- Application: Apply a small amount of the shimmer body gel to clean, dry skin on arms, legs, décolletage, or anywhere you want to add a touch of sparkle. Rub in gently until absorbed.
- Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability and prevent potential microbial growth.
- Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
- Cosmetic Grade: Ensure that any glitter used in cosmetic products is specifically designated as cosmetic grade to ensure safety for skin contact. Our Silver Tube Glitter 100 is suitable for these applications.
- Packaging: Due to the tube shape, consider packaging in wide-mouth jars or squeeze tubes rather than pump bottles, which may clog.
