Formula
Phase A
Phase B
57% Distilled Water
Phase C
Phase D
0.5% Liquid Germall Plus
1% Fragrance Oil
1,000 gram Recipe
Phase A
570 g Distilled Water
20 g Sodium Stearate
Phase B
Phase C
30 g Stearic Acid
20 g Lauric Acid
20 g Cetearyl Alcohol
5 g Synthetic Wax
10 g Shea Butter
Phase D
50 g Bamboo Stem Powder
50 g White Jojoba Pearls
10 g Fragrance Oil
Directions;
Combine all ingredients in phase A in a heat safe bowl and mix until it becomes a paste.
In a separate heat safe container combine all ingredients in phase B. The powder will not mix into the water until we heat it up.
In another heat safe container combine all ingredients in phase C.
Cove both phase A and B with aluminum foil and place in a water bath. (Water Bath: Fill a pan with an inch or so of water. Place your pan on your Stove Top on medium heat.)
Heat phase B until all of the powder has dissolved into the water.
Once the powder has dissolved in phase B you can pour that into phase A. The extra liquid will help dissolve the chunks left in phase A. Heat phase A until there are no chunks left. This can take quite a while.
While you are waiting for all the chunks to dissolve in phase A/B, Cover phase C with aluminum foil and place in the water bath to melt everything.
Once all the chunks are dissolved in phase A/B and everything has melted in phase C, you can pour phase A/B into phase C and mix.
Cover and let cool to 40°C / 104°F and add in all the ingredients in phase D and mix with a Hand Mixer. Cover and let sit overnight. For fragrance I used Camellia Sugar Fragrance Oil from Bramble Berry. At this time you can add in mica powder or other water soluble or water dispersible coloring. I used Pearl Pink Mica Powder from Bramble Berry. I also added in cranberry seeds instead of the Pomegranate Seeds, since I couldn’t find any.
