VenaSilk Conditioning Body Wash with Natural Thickeners will leave your skin feeling so soft! Polyglucose Lactylate Blend and Cocamidopropyl Betaine are ultra gentle surfactants made from natural vegetable sources. VenaSilk, XanThix and GuarSilk enhance the feel of this formula and also provide stability and natural thickening. In a dual role, CocoEm WS serves as a water soluble conditioner as well as a solubilizer for the Lavender Essential Oil. Optiphen ND is a gentle preservative that is well suited for use in this formula. This cold-mix, all natural formula is easy to make and a joy to use.

In Part A: Combine XanThix, GuarSilk and VenaSilk. Dry-mix powder and add blend to distilled water with mixing. A handheld whisk works well for mixing gums/starchs into water. Continue to mix periodically until all are completely hydrated (approx. 15 minutes). Once paste forms, mix until smooth.
Part B: Add ingredients with gentle stirring.
Part C: Combine CocoEm WS with Lavender Essential Oil and Optiphen ND. Add Part C mixture to body wash with gentle mixing.

Notes:
--Dry-mixed Gums and Starches work synergistically as we have illustrated in this formula.
--Optiphen ND and Lavender Essential Oil should be premixed with our solubilizer – CocoEm WS – before adding to body wash.
