Soothing Cream for Sensitive Skin

Soothing Cream for Sensitive Skin (50 ml)

A light yet nourishing emulsion for the face or body, suitable for sensitive, dry or irritated skin, for example after sun exposure or shaving.

Ingredients (for approximately 50 ml)

Water phase:

• 30 g chamomile or lavender hydrosol

• 1 g glycerin

Oil phase:

• 10 g almond oil

• 0.5 g preservative, e.g. Cosgard

Method:

1. Heat the oil and water phases separately in a water bath to approximately 70 °C.

2. Once both phases are heated, slowly pour the water phase into the oil phase while blending with a stick blender.

3. Blend until a smooth emulsion forms, then continue stirring occasionally by hand as the mixture cools.

4. Once the temperature falls below 40 °C, add the cool-down phase ingredients.

5. Transfer into a clean container and use within 2–3 months.

Use:

Apply to cleansed facial or body skin as needed.

Excellent as a daily cream, after-sun care, or protection against wind and cold.
