Cosmetic Recipe: Nourishing Wheat & Honey Hair Mask

Instructions:

1. In a heat-safe beaker, combine the distilled water and vegetable glycerin. Heat gently to 70°C (158°F).
2. In a separate heat-safe beaker, combine the olive oil and cetearyl alcohol. Heat gently to 70°C (158°F) until the alcohol is melted.
3. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk until a smooth emulsion forms.
4. Remove from heat and continue stirring gently as the mixture cools.
5. Once the mixture has cooled to below 40°C (104°F), add the wheat extract, honey, and behentrimonium chloride. Stir well to combine.
6. Finally, add the natural preservative and stir thoroughly.
7. Transfer the hair mask to a clean container.

Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small section of hair before applying the mask all over.
• Apply the mask to damp hair after shampooing, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
• Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. For deeper conditioning, cover the hair with a warm towel or shower cap.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Use once or twice a week for best results.
• Adjust the percentage of wheat extract in your formulations based on the desired level of nourishment. A typical range is between 2% and 20%.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the wheat extract into your cosmetic base for even distribution of its benefits.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Consider the overall pH of your formulation, as extreme pH levels may affect the stability of the extract and other ingredients. A slightly acidic pH is generally preferred for hair care products.
