Oil Shower Emulsion
Nourishing milky emulsion with botanical oil and hydrosol
This Oil Shower Emulsion is a simple conditioning body formula that combines an oil phase and a water phase in a soft milky emulsion.
The botanical oil helps reduce the feeling of dryness, the hydrosol adds a fresh aqueous element, and Sucragel helps bind the two phases into a smooth emulsion.
Because the formula contains hydrosol, it requires an appropriate preservative.
Ingredients for 100 g
- 60 g lightweight botanical oil of choice
- 20 g Sucragel
- 18.9 g rose, lavender or chamomile hydrosol
- 0.6 g Cosgard
- 0.5 g vitamin E
Total: 100 g
For a scented version, add 0.2 g suitable fragrance or essential oil and reduce the hydrosol to 18.7 g.
Method
Place the Sucragel in a clean container.
Slowly add the botanical oil while stirring continuously.
In a separate container, combine the hydrosol and Cosgard.
Gradually add the water phase to the oil base.
Finally, add vitamin E and optional fragrance.
Mix until smooth and homogeneous.
Transfer into clean, sanitised pump packaging.
Use
Towards the end of the shower, apply a small amount to wet skin and massage gently.
Rinse lightly for a softer finish, or leave a thin layer on the skin and pat dry with a towel for a richer conditioning effect.
