Prepare your body for winter: Baobab & babassu body butter with Simulgreen 18-2 (part one)
Yeah, as a former English major, I love a good alliteration, but these are some of my favourite ingredients with one of my favourite new emulsifiers, Simulgreen 18-2. I made a huge batch last year for our itchy winter skin, and I've made so many versions of it since then as I love it so much.
My favourite thing about it is the way the babassu oil melts on contact with your skin, so it pumps out of the bottle quite thick, but turns to liquid quite quickly.
One note - don't put this in a cute treatment pump or airless pump type bottle as it simply won't pump out. You need this to be in a tottle bottle or jar as it gets quite thick. I wanted a few cute bottles for pictures, and I eventually had to cut the darned thing in half to get it out to put into another container.
For the water phase, I definitely want some aloe vera in here to act as a film former and hydrator. I'm also adding chamomile hydrosol as I like its ability to soothe and reduce transepidermal water loss for up to 48 hours. (I know, right""")
As a note about aloe vera, you don't want the gel as if you look at the INCI name on your gel, you'll see it's gelled with a carbomer like Ultrez 20. It's not a bad thing, but not something we need in a lotion. And if you're using 100x or 200x powdered extract, you need to reconstitute it with water, then add it to the product. Do not just add 0.25% as that is far too much and will likely create product failures as that's far too much salt to be add...
