THE PREPARATION OF A CREAM:
- The first step while preparing the cream is to prepare a heated bath. The simplest way is to put e.g. a pot filled with water on a stove, heeding that the container should be able to contain two beakers, glasses or jars; then we heat it.
- In the first container (a beaker, a glass or a jar) one places the ingredients of phase A (oleic: an emulsifying base, a cetearyl alcohol, a sweet almond oil, a shea butter) together with emulsifier but without the argan oil and puts it into the heated bath. We heat the content of the container up to the temperature of 70°C so as to dilute all ingredients.
- In the second container, one places the ingredients of phase B – soluble in water (water, a glycerin, a preservative) and also put into the heated bath.
- The containers placed in the heated bath are heated as long as all ingredients inside will dilute; however, one should be careful so as not to overheat the ingredients. Finally, take them out of the heated bath.
- Next, add the fat phase into the water phase while intensively stirring. The stirring should be done by means of either a stirrer or a jar with a cap which should be intensively shaken after the blending of phases takes place.
- We stir until the creams cools down and becomes thicken.
- After slight cooling to room temperature, add the ingredients of phase C as well as the argan oil, squalane, coffee extract and vitamins - the compounds sensitive to temperature.
- The preservative should be added earlier into the water phase (without it, the cosmetic should be stored in a fridge and has 2 weeks of expiring date), put the cream into a box and place it into a fridge.
- On the next day, it will obtain a proper consistency and will be ready to use.
