Aloe and Lavender Skin Soothing Lotion with Plantamulse Pastilles

All natural Plantamulse Pastilles is the complete emulsifier in this very stable and silky smooth emulsion. Behenyl Alcohol has been included for body and cushiony feel. Aloe vera, Shea Butter, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Calendula Extract OS are nourishing and conditioning.

HEC (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) builds viscosity through the water phase and adds a nice feel in application. The Herbarie's Lavender Hydrosol and Aloe Vera 100% Liquid are utilized as the entire water phase of this formula.

Leucidal Liquid and Microguard is the preservative (antimicrobial) system for this formula. Rosemary CO2 Extract serves as the powerful antioxidant and Lavender EO is valued for its fresh clean scent as well as its benefits to skin.

This natural system works synergistically to soothe, moisturize, and condition skin - without greasiness or a "soaping/whitening effect" - and leaves skin fabulously soft and silky. The finished emulsion is medium viscosity.

Part A (water phase) - Combine and heat ingredients to 175F.

Part B (oil phase) - Weigh HEC and set aside. Combine all other ingredients in and heat to melt point (approximately 175F). Remove melted/hot oils from heat. Disperse HEC into hot oils, stirring to separate particles.

Add Part A (water phase) to Part B (oil phase). Allow emulsion to stand for one minute before mixing. After one minute, begin mixing and continue until cool down. Cool to 50C/122F, add Part D and mix until smooth.

Tips:

• Distilled Water can be used instead of The Herbarie Hydrosols or Aloe Vera 100% Liquid if desired.
• Overhead propeller mixer or high shear homogenizer or stickblender will work. Viscosity and particle size may vary depending on mixer.
• This formula is based on The Herbarie ingredients.
