Avena Oat Natural Lotion

Silky and conditioning natural lotion begins with Olivem 1000. Shea Butter, Golden Jojoba Oil and Argan Oil work together to provide the ultimate in skin conditioning and softening. Avena Oat Extract WS contains beta glucan and other moisturizing, soothing and smoothing constituents. XanThix is a water phase thickener and works by swelling in water to form a supportive network. Leucidal Liquid SF and Microguard provide broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and the natural preservative system in this formula.

Part A: Weigh XanThix and set aside. Combine remainder of ingredients and heat to 175F or until solids have melted. Remove from heat and disperse XanThix into heated oil. XanThix particles are dispersed into the melted oil phase to avoid clumping and "fish eyes". XanThix will migrate into the water phase once the emulsion has formed.

Part B: Heat to 175F. Add Part B to A with high shear mixing. Cool to 50C/122F (or less)

Part C: Add ingredients to emulsion, mix well until completely cool. Microguard will take 24 hours to completely dissolve.  Package in lotion bottles with pump or dispensing cap.
