Guest post: How to make a tinted moisturiser
Hi everybody,
You can probably remember the amazing new "natural emulsifier" we've added to our shop as a substitute for Olivem 1000.
After my tutorial was published, our amazing Teresa from Balm Kitchen sent me this tutorial for a tinted moisturiser ehich I'm sure you're going to love.
This is such an easy to follow recipe and procedure that one asks herself "why on earth don't I make my own tinted moisturiser"?
I don't waste your time with blah blah and jusz share this recipe with you.
To my astonishment, Teresa could sisperse the pigments without any complication and difficulties directly in the finished emulsion.
If you observe any clumps in your emulsion (depending on the viscosity of your emulsion and on the pigments you're using) you may just want to pre-disperse the pigment in 3-4% jojoba oil or castor oil for a better dispersion and a nice and smooth end product.
Here we go:
Phase A:
27% Deionised water
Phase B:
5% Camellia oil
5% Argan oil
5% crambe abyssinica seed oil
0.5% Tocopherol
0.2% Dermosoft GMCY
Phase C:
35.2% Bamboo hydrosol
4% Vegeluron
2% Green tea extract
2% White tea extract
0.5% Panthenol
0.1% Dermofeel PA-3
Phase D:
4% glycerine
0.3% Xanthum & Acacia gum blend
0.2% Sclerotium
Phase E:
3% Dermofeel1388
0.5% Potassium Sorbate
0.3% Grapefuit essential oil
0.2% Lavender essential oil
Baking soda to adjust pH
Phase F:
5% Mica
1% Rice powder
Final pH around 5.5
Procedure:
1- Heat ingredients of phase A in a water bath @ 65-70 C
2- In a another beaker, heat ingredients in phase B to the same temperature
3- Stir Phase A with a whisk or a spatula, as the emulsifier melts it blends with water to a shiny white paste
4- When the emulsifier is melted and blended with water, stop heating, remove the beakers from the water bath and slowly add the oil phase to the water phase. Meanwhile stir the water phase.
A pre-emulsion is made at this stage.
5- Homogenize the pre-emulsion for 1-4 minutes (depending on the batch size and the homogenizer you're using)
6- Continue stirring this blend and add phase C to it.
7- In a small beaker blend the gums and glycerine. Add this mixture to the emulsion (you have to stir fast to avoid building any lumps)
8- Add phase E and adjust the pH between 5.0-5.5 (if you're using another prepservative, adjust the pH according to your preservative demands)
9- Disperse the pigments and blend well.
Voila, take your microbiology sample and fill the emulsion in a suitable bottle or jar.
Isn't that amazingly easy?
It's your turn to create an amazing emulsion (with or without pigment)
