Essential Lotion

Oct 17, 2024

Developed by our in-house experts, Essential Lotion is a basic, cost-effective, skin hydrating lotion for everyday use.

This formulation can be modified by replacing the coconut oil/shea butter with any of a wide variety of different natural plant oils.

I love the feeling of Spherelose Essential Lotion, and it doesn't break the bank.

Ingredients

  • Water (75%)
  • Coconut oil or shea butter (5%)
  • Glycerine (4%)
  • Spherelose® Can 30 50-130 A (1%)
  • Xanthan gum (0.3%)

Method

  1. Premix phase A by suspending Spherelose with water
  2. Premix phase B to form a slurry and add to A slowly without trapping too much air and heat to 70 °C
  3. Combine ingredients for phase C and heat to 70 °C and mix with phase A/B and homogeniser for 2 min taking caution with air introduction
  4. Premix phase C to form a slurry, add to phase A/B and homogenise for 2 min
  5. Stir the mixture and let cool to 40 °C and add in phase D
