Cosmetic Recipe: "Deep Hydration" Replenishing Hand Cream

Create a nourishing and protective hand cream, perfect for everyday use, housed beautifully in the California 100ml Tube.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, spatulas, and the California 100ml Tube) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phases A & B: In separate heat-resistant beakers, combine the ingredients for Phase A (water, glycerin) and Phase B (shea butter, jojoba oil, emulsifying wax, cetyl alcohol).
3. Heat Phases: Place both beakers in a double boiler or heat gently on a hot plate, ensuring both phases reach approximately 70-75°C (158-167°F). Hold at this temperature for 15-20 minutes to ensure all waxes are fully melted and ingredients are well blended.
4. Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk. Continue blending vigorously for 3-5 minutes until a stable emulsion forms and the mixture begins to thicken.
5. Cool Down: Remove from heat and continue stirring occasionally as the cream cools. Once the temperature drops to below 40°C (104°F), you can move to Phase C.
6. Add Cool-down Ingredients (Phase C): Add D-Panthenol, Vitamin E Oil, Liquid Germall Plus, and your chosen essential oil or fragrance oil to the cooled cream. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
7. Final Check & Transfer: Perform a final pH check (aim for 5.0-5.5). Once the cream has reached a thick, uniform consistency and is completely cool, carefully transfer it into the California 100ml Tube using a piping bag or a sturdy spatula. Fill from the bottom (the open end) if your tube requires heat sealing, or simply fill and cap if it’s a standard fill.
8. Seal & Cap: Securely close the flip-top cap.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Filling: When filling the California 100ml Tube, consider using a piping bag or a funnel for easier, cleaner transfer, especially for thicker creams.
• Air Bubbles: Tap the filled tube gently on a hard surface a few times to release any trapped air bubbles before capping.
• Storage: Store the filled tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The opaque white material of the California 100ml Tube inherently protects light-sensitive ingredients, extending the product's shelf life.
• Dispensing: The flip-top cap allows for controlled dispensing, making it easy to apply the desired amount of cream without waste.
• Batch Testing: Always perform a small test batch to ensure the cream's consistency and stability are suitable for tube packaging before committing to larger production runs.
• Product Safety: Ensure proper preservation to prevent microbial growth, as the tube's design is excellent for protecting the product once formulated.
