Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Lophanthus & Aloe Vera Facial Gel

Instructions:

1. In a clean beaker, gently combine the Aloe Vera gel and glycerin. Stir until well mixed.
2. Add the Lophanthus extract, panthenol, and allantoin to the mixture. Stir gently until fully dissolved.
3. Slowly sprinkle the carbomer into the mixture while continuously stirring to avoid clumping. Continue stirring until the carbomer is fully hydrated and the gel thickens. This may take some time.
4. Check the pH of the gel. It should ideally be around 5.5. If necessary, carefully add triethanolamine drop by drop while stirring until the desired pH is reached. Use a pH meter or pH strips for accurate measurement.
5. Finally, add the natural preservative and stir gently to ensure even distribution.
6. Transfer the gel to a clean, airtight container.

Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivity.
• Incorporate Lophanthus extract at the recommended percentage to achieve the desired soothing and other benefits. Adjust the percentage based on your formulation goals.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract into the cosmetic base for even distribution of its active compounds.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its efficacy.
• When formulating with Lophanthus extract, consider the overall pH of your product, as extreme pH values may affect the stability of some botanical compounds.
• This recipe provides a soothing gel; you can adjust the amount of carbomer to achieve different viscosity levels.
• For emulsions (creams and lotions), incorporate the Lophanthus extract during the cool-down phase to preserve its active components.
