Cosmetic Recipe: Invigorating Lemongrass Body Wash

Craft your own uplifting body wash that cleanses and revitalizes, leaving your skin feeling fresh and beautifully scented with lemongrass.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment – beakers, stirring rods, containers – with isopropyl alcohol or a sanitizing solution.
2. Hydrate Xanthan Gum: In a small amount of distilled water (part of your total water amount), disperse the Xanthan Gum and mix well until a smooth gel forms. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to fully hydrate.
3. Combine Surfactants & Water: In a main beaker, combine the Coco Glucoside, Decyl Glucoside, and the remaining Distilled Water. Stir gently to avoid excessive foam.
4. Add Glycerin & Panthenol: Add the Vegetable Glycerin and Panthenol to the surfactant/water mixture. Stir well.
5. Incorporate Xanthan Gum Gel: Slowly add the hydrated Xanthan Gum gel to the main mixture, stirring continuously. This will begin to thicken your body wash. Continue stirring until fully incorporated and the desired consistency starts to form.
6. Add Preservative: Once the mixture has cooled to room temperature (if any warming occurred during mixing), add your chosen Preservative. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
7. Add Fragrance Oil: Finally, add the Lemongrass Fragrance Oil at the recommended percentage (0.2-0.3%). Stir gently but thoroughly to incorporate the fragrance.
8. Adjust pH (Optional): If necessary, test the pH of your body wash and adjust it to a skin-friendly range (typically 5.0-6.0) using lactic acid or citric acid solution (to lower pH) or sodium bicarbonate solution (to raise pH) if needed.
9. Packaging: Carefully pour the finished body wash into a clean, sanitized pump bottle or squeeze bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: For Lemongrass Fragrance Oil, adhere to the recommended percentages: 0.5-1% for soap; 0.2-0.3% for gels, creams; 0.1-0.5% for liquid detergents. Always start with the lower end of the range and conduct a small test batch to achieve your desired scent intensity. Over-fragrancing can sometimes lead to skin sensitivities or an overpowering scent.
• Incorporation: Add the fragrance oil to your product during the cool-down phase or after your emulsion/mixture has fully formed. For cold process soap, add at trace. For melt-and-pour soap, add after the soap base has melted but before pouring.
• Testing: Always perform a small test batch to ensure compatibility, stability, and desired scent throw with your specific product formulation before proceeding with a larger batch. This is crucial for checking for any discoloration or changes in viscosity.
• Storage: Store the Lemongrass Fragrance Oil in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Proper storage helps maintain its integrity and aromatic quality.
• Safety Precautions: Avoid direct contact with undiluted fragrance oil on skin or eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Use in a well-ventilated area.
