FAMILY BANANA CREAM

Family Banana Cream

A gentle, versatile cream for the whole family

Family Banana Cream is designed as a simple yet effective everyday cream, suitable for several members of the household.

Suitable for:

• hands that are frequently exposed to cold, water or dry air,

• the body, after showering or whenever the skin needs extra softness,

• the face when needed, especially for normal to dry skin
  (if using it on the face, omit the flavouring).

Thanks to its gentle formulation, chamomile hydrosol and edelweiss extract, it is an excellent choice for anyone who prefers simple yet reliable formulations.

Method

1. Prepare a clean work surface and disinfect all utensils and packaging.

2. Accurately weigh the ingredients for Phase A, Phase B and Phase C.

3. In one container, combine the ingredients of Phase A:

   • first mix the glycerin and xanthan gum into a smooth paste,

   • then add the chamomile hydrosol and sodium phytate.

4. Heat Phase A to approximately 70 °C, stirring gently.

5. In a second container, combine all ingredients of Phase B.

6. Heat to approximately 70 °C until the emulsifier and shea butter are completely melted.

7. When both phases are at approximately the same temperature, slowly pour oil Phase B into water Phase A.

8. Emulsify with a stick blender or mix by hand for 1–2 minutes, until a smooth cream forms.

9. Allow the cream to cool below 40 °C, stirring occasionally.

10. Add the ingredients of Phase C and mix thoroughly.

11. Check the pH – the target value is 5.2–5.5; adjust if necessary.

12. Transfer the cream into clean packaging, such as a jar, tube or airless container.
    We recommend allowing the cream to rest for 24 hours so the texture can fully stabilize.

Use

Apply the cream to clean skin and gently massage until absorbed.

Suitable for daily use, even several times a day, without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.
