Cosmetic Recipe: Thickened Body Oil

Ingredient	Amount
Sweet Almond Oil	90ml
Jojoba Oil	10ml
EB-21 Oil Thickening Agent	2g
Vitamin E Oil (Optional)	0.5ml

Instructions:

Combine the sweet almond oil and jojoba oil in a heat-safe beaker.

Gently heat the oils to approximately 70-80°C (158-176°F).

Slowly add the EB-21 Oil Thickening Agent to the heated oils, stirring continuously until completely dissolved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Add the Vitamin E oil (if using) and mix thoroughly.

Pour the thickened body oil into a clean bottle or jar.

Allow to cool completely before use.

Recommendations for Use:

Start with a small amount of EB-21 and gradually increase until you achieve the desired viscosity.

Heat the oils gently to ensure proper dissolution of the thickening agent.

Stir continuously while adding EB-21 to prevent clumping.
