Formula
Phase A
45.5% Distilled Water
0.5% liquid germall plus
2% sepimax zen
Phase B
5% Glycerin
Phase C
30% Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate (DLS)
5% Almond Oil
1% Fragrance Oil
Directions;
In a sanitized beaker combine all ingredients in phase A. Starting with the distilled water and liquid germall plus first. Make sure the two are well mixed before sprinkling the sepimax zen on top. DO NOT MIX! Cover with plastic wrap and let sit over night. This can take anywhere between a few hours or 8 hours to fully hydrate. I always just let mine sit overnight.
The next day you will notice a thick gel on the surface. You can mix everything together and now you should have a smooth clear gel. Set beaker to the side.
Grab another sanitized beaker and combine all ingredient in phase B and mix well.
Pour phase B into phase A and mix well.
Grab another sanitized beaker and combine all ingredient in phase C and mix gently. Pour phase C into phase A/B and mix well. At this time you can check and adjust pH if needed. Or add in your liquid dye. I divided mine up into 5 different beakers and dyed them different colors. I purchased my Water Soluble Dyes HERE.
Pour into desired bottle. I used these 8 oz pump bottles.
& now you have a moisturizing creamy body wash with oils.
