WHAT IS PRO MIXING?
Pro mixing is all about mixing other products together to get what we want in skin care. But that does not mean we can't mix it with organic ingredients It goes hand in hand with organic ingredients to get good results.
What are the equipments needed for mixing?
Mixer
Measuring spoons and cups
Double boiler
Glass Containers or jar
Glass mixing bowl
Whisker
Bowls
Always make enough base cream and store in an airtight container
So when you want to mix, you take from it instead of making a base cream all the time.
BASE CREAM INGREDIENTS
3tbsp stearic acid
125ml almond oil
1tbsp vitamin E oil
350ml distilled water
1tbsp glycerin
1tbsp phenoxy ethanol ( preservative)
3tbsp 70% Glycolic acid
10drops of essential oil and carrier oil ( optional)
WARNING: Always use a glass mixing bowl when using stearic acid.
METHOD :
In a double boiler, (place a wide pot or deep frying pan on fire with water and put a thick glass bowl on it) melt your emulsifying wax, stearic acid, and oil together. While at that, heat your water in a separate stove or put it in the microwave and warm it.
Bring water down to be cooling down while waiting for the oil mixture to melt. When well melted, drop it down and turn into a large bowl(to enable you mix well).
Check the oil mixture temperature and the water too, Pour your distilled water GRADUALLY into the oil as you whisk to get a creamy texture.
Add your vitamin E oil, preservative, glycerin, glycolic acid and the essential oil and whisk thoroughly. Get a container and pour it and cover.
To make this base cream very effective, you will add 5 or 6 nature secret oil and mix well before you store. Some people add 10 bottles It all depends on how effective you want it to be.
When you finish making ur cream base, you store in airtight container. To mix 500ml quantity of cream, you need half cup of your base cream because it's thick
And if you feel the base cream is too thick at the end add rose water. I left mine thick because of other things I will be mixing with when I scoop out to mix for my clients or for my personal use.
