Nourishing Jasmine Body Cream Cleanser

Instructions

1. Blend the glycerine and xanthan gum in a glass beaker.
2. In another beaker, weigh out all waters and add Olivem 1000. 
3. Prepare a water bath by bringing about 3cm/1″ of water to a bare simmer over low to medium-low heat in a saucepan.
4. Heat waters-Olivem1000 mixture in the water bath. When the Olivem 1000 has completely melted, remove the beaker from the water bath and start stirring.
5. Add the gum-glycerine mixture. As the mixture cools, it will become white. 
6. When the mixture is below 40C, add the Decyl Glucoside and stir gently to avoid foaming.
7. Because cool down ingredients are typically present at very low amounts, you will need to use an accurate scale—preferably one accurate to 0.01g. 
8. Add the essential oil and stir well.
9. Check that the pH using a pH strip or pH meter, check that the cream has a pH range that is compatible with your chosen preservative. This range is normally indicated by the supplier of the preservative. If your pH isn’t in a suitable range, you can lower it by adding an acid or raise it by adding sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate.
10. Finally, blend in the preservative
11. Once the cream is cool, transfer the cream cleanser into the empty tube using a syringe
