Cosmetic Recipe: Soothing Almond & Rose Face Cream

Instructions:

1. Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water, rose hydrosol, and glycerin. Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F) in a double boiler.
2. Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine emulsifying wax NF, sweet almond oil, and shea butter. Heat gently to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are completely melted and clear.
3. Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously mixing with a stick blender or high-shear mixer. Continue blending for 3-5 minutes until a stable emulsion forms.
4. Cooling: Remove from heat and continue stirring periodically as the emulsion cools.
5. Phase C & D Addition: Once the emulsion has cooled to below 40°C (104°F), add Almond Glycolic Extract (Phase C), followed by your chosen preservative and essential oil blend (Phase D). Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
6. Packaging: Transfer the finished cream into a clean, sanitized jar or airless pump bottle.
