After a seemingly endless winter we directly jumped to a hot summer and I thought a nice cooling shower gel would be excellent in your gym bag or the shower.
This is a rather simple and no-fuss formulation. We are however using avocado oil and acai oil both for the sake of color and their skin pampering properties. So this could be rather considered as a shower cream instead of shower gel.
Procedure:
1- Blend phase A in the main vessel.
2- Disperse and hydrate the gum @RT
3- Blend phase C in another vessel. Gradually add phase C to phase A+B
4- Prepare a 10% dilution and measure the pH. The pH must be between 4,8-5,5 before you add the preservative
5- Add the preservatives.
6- Prepare another 10% dilution and remeasure the pH.
7- Adjust the pH between 5,2-5,5 by adding lactic acid if necessary
8- Take your microbial and stability samples and fill the rest in suitable containers
