2 / Heat this phase over low heat in a double boiler until the wheat proteins have completely melted. Gently mix everything throughout heating, up to a temperature of 40-45 ° C maximum.
3 / In another container transfer the oily phase and heat in a water bath to reach approximately the same temperature as the aqueous phase. Mix well.
4 / Gradually incorporate the aqueous phase into the oily phase, mixing gently using the mini-whisk. Slowly add the surfactants. Slow stirring does not allow your preparation to bubble too much. When the preparation is lukewarm, add the Aloe vera.
