The short summer is over and it's time to prepare the skin for the fall and winter with the warm and dry air inside and cold and windy air outside.
This may be an overindulgence for the skin and is a great divergence to the KISS emulsions that I usually make but I assume your skin deserves this presumptuous blend of active ingredients.
There is a long list of ingredients but the procedure is still simple and the outcome is a feast for all senses. Don't get intimidated by the long list, you will love the result.

Procedure:
1- Blend all the ingredients in phase A in a heat-proof beaker
2- Disperse the gums in the water phase
3- Blend all ingredients in phase C in a heat-proof beaker
4- Heat both the water and oil phase in a water bath between 82-85 oC
5- When both phases are homogeneous add the oil phase in the water phase and homogenize for a few minutes
6- Start cooling down while stirring
7- Add the cold oil phase ( phase E) and continue stirring.
8- Add phase D and continue stirring
9- Prepare a 10% dilution in distilled water and measure the pH. The preservative we are using is independent of the pH but we still aim for a pH between 4,9-5,5. In our case the pH was 5,37
10- Add the preservative and the essential oil
11- To make sure that the preservative hasn't changed the pH of the product prepare another 10% dilution and remeasure the pH. In our case it was 5,39 which is almost the same as before adding the preservative
12- Take your stability and micro Kit samples and fill the rest in a suitable jar
