What You Need:
Instructions
You will need:
- Eight 8 oz. Bail Jars
- Water Phase:
- 45 oz. Distilled Water
- Oil Phase:
- 5 oz. Sunflower Oil
- 1 oz. Squalane Oil
- 5 oz. Shea Butter
- 5.75 oz. Polawax Emulsifying Wax
- Cool-Down Phase:
- 0.8 oz. Pear Prosecco Fragrance Oil
- 0.8 oz. Champagne Extract
- 0.8 oz. Optiphen
- 1/2 tsp. Sage Green Mica
EQUIPMENT PREP: Disinfect your utensils by dipping them in a 5% bleach water solution and allowing to dry. This includes mixing containers, your stick blender, and any spoons or spatulas that may come in contact with your mask. Your products must be as free of germs, bacteria, and microbes as possible.
Follow these steps:
1
In a large heat-safe container, add 45 ounces of distilled water. Heat in the microwave until the water is about 170° F.
2
In a separate small heat-safe container, combine 5 ounces of sunflower oil, 1 ounce of squalane oil, 5 ounces of shea butter, and 5.75 ounces of Polawax Emulsifying Wax. Heat in the microwave on 30-60 second bursts until everything is melted and it's about 180° F.
3
Check the temperature of both containers - they should be about 160° F. When they’re ready, tap your stick blender on the bottom of the bowl to release bubbles. Pour the oils and wax into the water and begin pulsing the stick blender for 60-90 seconds, making sure it's fully emulsified.
4
Continue stick blending until the temperature drops to about 130-140° F. Add 0.8 ounces of Pear Prosecco Fragrance Oil, 0.8 ounces of Optiphen, and 0.8 ounces of champagne extract and stick blend for another 60-90 seconds.
5
Add 1/2 teaspoon of Sage Green Mica and stick blend for about 30 seconds until fully combined and there are no clumps. If the mica separates a little, just keep stick blending for several minutes until there are no large particles on top (a few small particles is fine).
6
Pour the cream into jars. Allow it to cool for about 1-2 hours with the lid off to prevent condensation. Secure the lid and allow the cream to fully cool and thicken. Enjoy!
