| Continuing with Diane’s cupboard, I formulated a lotion that uses some of her oils along with other needed ingredients to make a moisturizing lotion. As a review, here are the ingredients in her cupboard.
As I mentioned earlier, I needed to add some necessary ingredients to make this lotion a worthwhile product. I used Emulsifying Wax, Stearic Acid, Hydrovance and Optiphen Preservative to make this lotion have that extra “Oomph!” This lotion is a great daily lotion with little drag and great soothing capabilities. Grab your equipment and meet me in the blog kitchen for some quick fun. 😀 Collect needed items:
Recipe:
Weigh all ingredients except the Optiphen Preservative and Green Tea & Cucumber Fragrance into the microwave safe container. Heat in the microwave using short time bursts until everything is melted. Blend the ingredients to a smooth, creamy consistency using the immersion blender. Add the Optiphen Preservative and Green Tea & Cucumber Fragrance once the temperature drops enough that you don’t feel like you are burning your hands when moving the mixing bucket. Blend until completely mixed. Pour into jars and allow to cool completely. Cap the jars. Yield: This recipe will make 16 fl ounces. Notes: I hope you enjoy this facial cream as much as I do. Enjoy!
