Recipe: Luxurious Layered Floral Body Cream
Create a moisturizing, sophisticated body cream that beautifully showcases the Pleasures Fragrance Oil for an all-over, lasting aroma.
Ingredients:
-
Seventy grams Distilled Water (Water Phase)
-
Twenty grams Shea Butter (Oil Phase)
-
Three grams Emulsifying Wax NF (Emulsifier)
-
Five grams Glycerin (Humectant)
-
One gram Liquid Preservative (e.g., Phenoxyethanol)
-
Zero point five grams Pleasures Fragrance Oil
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Combine the Water Phase (Distilled Water and Glycerin) in one heat-safe beaker and the Oil Phase (Shea Butter and Emulsifying Wax) in a separate heat-safe beaker.
Second Step: Heat both phases in a double boiler until they reach approximately seventy-five degrees Celsius (75°C), ensuring the wax and butter are fully melted in the oil phase.
Third Step: Slowly pour the hot water phase into the hot oil phase, blending immediately with a mini-mixer or stick blender until a thick, uniform emulsion forms.
Fourth Step: Move the beaker to a cold water bath and continue blending occasionally until the cream cools to below forty degrees Celsius (40°C). The cream will thicken considerably as it cools.
Fifth Step: Add the Liquid Preservative and the Pleasures Fragrance Oil. Stir thoroughly by hand or with a low-speed mixer to fully incorporate the final additives without introducing too much air.
Sixth Step: Transfer the finished body cream into a clean, sterilized jar or bottle.
