DIY Recipe: Invigorating Bvlgari-Inspired Aftershave Lotion

Create a soothing and sophisticated aftershave lotion that calms the skin while leaving a captivating, long-lasting scent. This recipe is simple and requires no special equipment beyond a scale and mixing containers.

Ingredients

• Distilled Water: 85%

• Propylene Glycol: 5%

• Glycerin: 3%

• Allantoin: 0.5%

• Bvlgari Aqva Amara Fragrance Oil: 2%

• Liquid Germall Plus (or similar water-soluble preservative): 0.5%

• Polysorbate 20: 2%

• Witch Hazel Extract: 2%

Instructions

• First, in a clean, sanitized beaker, combine the distilled water, propylene glycol, and glycerin. Stir until fully mixed.

• Second, add the Allantoin to the water phase and stir until it is completely dissolved. This may take a few minutes.

• Third, in a separate small container, mix the Bvlgari Aqva Amara Fragrance Oil with the Polysorbate 20. Stir until the mixture is clear. The Polysorbate 20 will help the fragrance oil to dissolve in the water-based lotion.

• Fourth, slowly pour the fragrance oil and Polysorbate 20 mixture into the main water phase, stirring constantly. The mixture will turn milky at first but will become clear as you continue to stir.

• Fifth, add the Witch Hazel Extract and your chosen preservative. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly dispersed.

• Sixth, pour the finished lotion into a clean, sanitized bottle with a pump or cap.

Usage Recommendations

• Recommended Scent Percentage: This recipe uses a 2% fragrance oil concentration, which provides a balanced and noticeable scent suitable for aftershave lotion. You can adjust this slightly to your preference, staying within the recommended range.

• Incorporation: For best results, always mix the fragrance oil with a solubilizer like Polysorbate 20 before adding it to your water-based products. This ensures the fragrance is evenly dispersed and prevents separation.

• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and shelf life.

• Shelf Life: With a proper preservative, the lotion should last for several months. Always check for any changes in color, scent, or consistency before use.
