Directions;
In a sanitized heat proof container, combine all ingredients in phase A and mix. Allantoin will not dissolve until it is heated.
In another sanitized heat proof container, combine all the ingredients in phase B.
Tare scale and weight phase A and write down how much it weighs. We will be heating this up and some of the water will evaporate and we will need to replace that after its heated.
Cover both phase A & B with aluminum foil and place them in a water bath (A water bath is a pan filled with an inch or so of water. Place your pan on your Stove Top on medium heat.)
Let both phase A & B heat to 70°C / 158°F. Make sure everything is melted in phase B and all powder has dissolved in phase A. (Might need to mix to help dissolve)
Once phase A & B are heated to 70°C / 158°F. Remove phase A from heat and weigh it, replacing any water that has evaporated with distilled water.
Remove phase B from heat
Pour phase A into phase B and mix with an Immersion Blender
Come back and mix periodically as the lotion cools, but don’t mix again once it has started to thicken.
In another sanitized beaker, combine the glycerin and HA in phase C first and mix. Followed by the rest of the phase C ingredients. Set aside.
Once the lotion has cooled to 40°C / 104°F you can add in the phase C ingredients and mix until combined.
Let sit overnight before packaging.
