Hi everybody.
I have another amazing formulation to share with you. This beautiful photo and fabulous product are shared by our dear Teresa from the balm kitchen.
This is a natural hair conditioner loaded with amazing ingredients to bring gloss and volume to dry, coloured and damaged hair.
As always before we start I want to recommend you to read our older posts: hygienic manufacturing practice in cosmetic lab and introduction to Basic equipments and utensils for a cosmetic lab.
Ingredients:
Phase A:
35% Deionised water
2% Silk powder
0.5% Potassium Sorbate
Phase B:
3% Olive Squalane
3% Abyssinian oil
3% Argan oil
Phase C:
29.5% Lavender hydrosol
Phase D:
Phase E:
0.3% Xanthum & Acacia gum
0.2% Tracaganth gum
Phase F:
1% Essential oil blend
Procedure:
1- Heat phase A and B separately in a water bath at ca. 70 oC.
2- After both phases have arrived the same temperature and Plantasens HE20 and Dermosoft GMCY are completely melted, add phase B slowly to phase A under stirring.
3- Blend completely till you have a homogenous pre-emulsion
4- Add phase C which is at room temperature to phase A+B and blend
5- Homogenize for a few minutes
6- Add the rosemary extract and blend well
7- Disperse the gums in glycerine and add this to the conditioner. Stir the emulsion while you add the gum to avoid any clumping of the gums
8- When the emulsion temperature is around 35 oC add the essential oil and the preservative. Adjust the pH around 5.0-5.2 by adding lactic acid
Continue stirring untill the conditioner reaches room temperature. Take your dipslide sample and fill the rest in a suitable bottle.
Enjoy the silky feel and the gloss and vitality the conditioner imparts to your hair.
