Method:
Heat Stage 1 (fat stage) in a stainless steel bowl on a double boiler until the temperature is above 75°C.
Add Stage 2 (water stage) ingredients into another stainless steel bowl in a double boiler until the temperature is above 75°C.
Pour Stage 1 into Stage 2 and use a stick blender (high shear) to emulsify the two stages. This will happen in about 20 seconds so keep checking. Ensure the temperature is above 75°C. When you lift the stick blender out of the mixture, the mix running off the blender head should look like a thin cream. If it looks granular or like it is separating, it needs more high shear blending.
When it has emulsified, take it out of the double boiler and use a spatula to stir it whilst it is cooling down. You can use a cold water bath to speed up the cooling. Do not continue to use the stick blender as this will destroy the liquid crystal structure that the emulsification has formed.
When it is under 40°C, add the Stage 3 (heat sensitive) ingredients. Combine thoroughly, jar and label.

Thank you for your enquiry.

“Yes, that would be fine but do be aware that Preservative Eco has an odour that can show through in a cream. To overcome this we find that adding the preservative before the other Stage 3 ingredients masks the odour of the preservative.”

Hi, I was just wondering if I could use Preservative Eco with this and would it be the same percentage? Thanks, Becca :)
Designed as a nourishing and balancing hair masque that may also be used on the skin. It makes an extremely thick and rich cream that is readily absorbed by the skin with no soaping effect and no greasy after feel.
