Ingredients:
-
Sixty milliliters Distilled Water (Aqueous Base)
-
Thirty milliliters Gentle Foam Base Surfactant (Cleansing Agent)
-
Five milliliters Aloe Vera Gel or Extract (Soothing Active)
-
Three milliliters Vegetable Glycerin (Humectant)
-
One milliliter Panthenol Provitamin B5 (Regenerating Component)
-
One milliliter Cosmetic Preservative (Product Protection)
-
Three drops Essential Oil of Lavender or Neroli (Natural Fragrance)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step — Mixing the Aqueous Phase: In a clean glass beaker, combine the Distilled Water with the Vegetable Glycerin. Stir gently until the glycerin is completely dissolved.
Second Step — Incorporating Actives: Add the Aloe Vera Gel, Panthenol, and the chosen Essential Oil to the water mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all active ingredients are evenly distributed.
Third Step — Adding the Surfactant Base: Slowly pour the Gentle Foam Base Surfactant into the beaker. It is vital to stir very slowly and carefully to avoid creating premature foam during the mixing process.
Fourth Step — Final Stabilization: Add the Cosmetic Preservative to the mixture. Stir for another minute to ensure total integration.
Fifth Step — Packaging: Pour the liquid into a specialized foaming pump bottle. This type of packaging is essential as it mechanically mixes the liquid with air to create the "mousse" texture.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Dosage Guidelines: Use the Gentle Foam Base at a concentration of fifteen to thirty percent for facial products, and up to fifty percent for high-foaming body washes.
-
Viscosity Control: If you are not using a foamer bottle and require a thicker gel, you may add a small amount of a thickening agent like Xanthan Gum or Crothix.
-
pH Testing: For facial products, aim for a final pH of five point five. If necessary, adjust with a tiny amount of citric acid solution.
-
Storage: Keep the surfactant base in a tightly closed container in a cool, dark place. The finished mousse should be used within the timeframe specified by your chosen preservative.
