Mature Skin Gentle Lavender Cleanser Recipe

Ingredients

• 20 grams Apricot Kernal Oil
• 15 grams Caster Oil
• 12 grams Emulsifying Wax NF
• 40 grams lavender Water (hydrosol)
• 30 grams Distilled Water
• 5 grams Glycerine
• 1 gram Preservative
• 12 drops Neroli Essential Oil
• 200m Pump amber bottle

Equipment
• Digital Scales
• Glass Mixing Beakers
• Saucepan
• Electric Hand Whisk
• Funnel

Instructions

1. Use your digital scales to weigh the oils and wax (Apricot Kernel Oil, Castor Oil, Emulsifying Wax) then put them into a heatproof glass jug.
2. Weigh the waters, glycerin and preservative (optional) and place in another heatproof glass jug. If you are using a preservative you will need a small digital scale to accurately measure 1 gram.
3. Next, stand both jugs in a pan of water and heat.
   Stir your oils & wax gently until it has all melted. If you are using a preservative make sure the water/glycerin/preservative mix temperature does not exceed the recommended level usually around 65C
4. Remove both bowls from the heat and combine them by pouring the water/glycerin mixture into the oil/wax mixture.
   Stir again for 4 minutes until blended well.
5. Leave the mixture to stand for a minute then stir again, repeat this until it cools down. If you see any separation place it back on the heat and stir harder until it combines again.
   Then remove from the heat and try stirring gently again until it cools (repeat this again if it fails). If it continues to separate try adding another 1-2g of emulsifying wax and melt it into the mix.
6. Once it cools to lukewarm it will thicken, then add your essential oils and continue stirring for a few minutes more or until thoroughly combined.
7. Place in your bottle or container but wait until completely cool to avoid any condensation.
8. Your cleanser should keep for 12 months if you’ve added a preservative.
