Aloe Moisturizing Fluid Cream Recipe (André Bitsas)

For 100 ml of preparation:

Aqueous phase :

• 40 ml of mineral water
• 20 ml of rose hydrosol
• 15 ml of aloe vera gel
• 0.8 g xanthan gum
• 0.4 g of potassium sorbate

Oily phase:

• 10 ml of apricot kernel vegetable oil
• 10 ml of jojoba vegetable oil
• 4 g of oil-in-water emulsifier for creamy emulsion
• 2 g shea butter
• 1 g of white beeswax
• 2 ml of vegetable glycerin

Preservatives:

• Vitamin E (0.20%)

Aromatic proportion (1-3%):
Essential oils of rose geranium , lavender , palmarosa , cistus ...

Remark :
By adding silk proteins in the aqueous phase at a rate of 0.5-5%, you will benefit from an additional moisturizing effect in case of severely dehydrated skin.

Manual :
1 / Transfer the aqueous phase, except the fresh Aloe, to a bowl.
2 / In another bowl, transfer the oily phase.
3 / Heat the two phases separately in a water bath; the aqueous phase must not exceed 45 ° C in order not to degrade the properties of the hydrosol. The oily phase can reach 70 ° C.
4 / When the two phases are at the same temperature (+/- 40-50 ° C), take the bowls out of the water bath then slowly pour the aqueous phase into the oily phase without stopping stirring vigorously with a mini-whisk for about 3 minutes. The mixture whitens and homogenizes.
5 / Without stopping shaking, put the bowl in a bottom of cold water to speed up the cooling and the setting of the emulsion for another 3 minutes.
6 / Gradually add the Aloe vera, the preservatives and the aromatic part, mixing well between each addition.
7 / Transfer the preparation to your jar. Don't forget to label!
