VenaSilk Cream with Palmarosa and Elemi
VenaSilk Cream with Palmarosa and Elemi is based on Natramulse and VenaSilk. Natramulse is our complete emulsifier with added skin conditioning benefits. VenaSilk contains Oat Beta Glucan and these two combine for the ultimate in skin softening and conditioning.
Shea Butter, Botanical Complex LSC and Calendula Extract OS add nutrients to this formula. Leucidal Liquid is a natural preservative that works well in this formula. Palmarosa Essential Oil and Elemi Essential Oil combine beautifully in this balancing and rejuvenating cream.

- Add Part A to B with mixing - stick blender or standard lab mixer work well. Continue to mix until emulsion forms and thickens.
- In Part C - Weigh and add ingredients when temperature has cooled to 50C/122F (or less). Mix well until completely cool.
Notes
High shear mixers such as a homogenizer or stick-blender can be used to create a thicker cream with a fine particle size. Propeller mixers or beaters or a hand-held whisk can be used to created a thinner cream.
For greater antimicrobial benefits, 0.5% Microguard can be added.
