Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- BTMS - 50 Conditioning Emulsifier - 2 oz
- Honeyquat - 4 oz
- Water Soluble Reishi Mushroom Extract - 1 oz
- Argan Oil - 1 oz
- Optiphen - 1 oz
- DL-Panthenol - 1 oz
EQUIPMENT:
- 2 oz Frosted Glass Jar with White Cap - 4
Instructions
You will need:
Four 2 oz. Frosted Glass Jars
Water Phase:
- 9.5 oz Distilled Water
Oil Phase:
- 2 oz BTMS-50
- .25 oz Argan Oil
Cool-Down Phase:
- .25 oz Honeyquat
- .80 oz Reishi Extract
- .10 oz DL-Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
- .12 oz Optiphen (preservative)
- .15 Sparkling Apple Blossom Fragrance Oil
Other Tools You WIll Need:
- Two heat-safe containers
- Digital scale
- Whisk or stick blender
- Thermometer
Follow these steps:
1
Prepare the water phase. Measure 9.5 oz distilled water by weight into a heat-safe container.
2
Prepare the oil phase - Combine 2 oz BTMS-50 and 0.25 oz argan oil in a separate heat-safe container.
3
Warm the water and oil phases in a double boiler (or microwave in short bursts) until they reach about 160–170°F (71–77°C) and the BTMS-50 fully melts. We recommend a double boiler because glass is prone to shattering in the microwave at those temperatures.
4
Slowly pour the oil into the water, whisking continuously or using a stick blender. Mix until the texture is smooth and uniform.
5
Cool to ~120°F (49°C). Let the mixture cool to around 120°F before adding delicate ingredients. Stir in your cool-down phase ingredients. Blend well until everything is fully incorporated.
6
Package your mask. Pour the finished mask into jars or bottles. Allow to cool completely before capping.
How to use: Apply generously to clean, damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for 5–10 minutes as a mask, then rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice a week for silky, nourished hair. It can be used as a daily nourishing conditioner as well.
