How to Make Your Own Handbody / Lotion
Below are the necessary materials and how to manufacture them (by microwave or with a simple pot):
Ingredients
1 to ¾ cup of oil (can be olive oil, avocado oil, herbal oil, coconut oil or other oil with the aroma we like).
Three tablespoons of beeswax (pure beeswax), you can buy it at the supermarket.
¾ water cups (preferably using purified water, no minerals), can also use rose-colored water or herbal tea.
1. How to make with the help of microwave
-Heater the mixed material in a moderate temperature setting, while inspected every 30 seconds until both ingredients are thoroughly melted and mixed.
-When the two ingredients have melted and mixed, add purified water or aquades (slightly rarely used cooking water or clean water), while stirring with a fork until completely mixed. To get better mixing, we can use blender model stick (stick blender). But keep in mind the rotation is set slowly and put first into lotian material before it is turned on. Because if not, the hot lotion material can scatter (spurt) out about ourselves.
-After the ingredients are well mixed, allow a few moments to cool. When it becomes cold, the lotion material will be thickened semaking. After that insert into the container or bottle storage as we see fit. If there is, we can use the empty bottle of handbody that has been cleaned before.
2. How to make using a regular pan or heater
- Mix the whole ingredients into a container such as a small glass jar or small ceramic that will be heated in a hot water pot later.
-Fill pot medium with little water and heat in medium heat.
-Enter a glass jar or glass container into a pot of heated water. Do not let water into the container or glass glass. Reduce water content if too much.
-When the water gets hotter, the ingredients mixed in a glass glass will melt and fuse or mix.
An occasional occasion of lotion material inside the glass to mix well.
-After mixing the ingredients then lift the glass glass from the pot. The lotion material inside the glass remains stirred until the lotion cools and thickens.
After the lotion is cold, the lotion may be transferred to a storage place or bottle of used lotions that have been cleaned or small jars.
Important Tips On The Making Process
The purified water is water that has been purified, so there are no more minerals in the water.
In drinking water or water everyday there is usually a mineral content that the body needs when drinking or other metal content. While purified water is usually the only purpose for a dilution like drugs.
Examples of purified water such as aquades are widely sold in pharmacies.
While emulsifier is the material needed to mix between water and oil to stay mixed and last long. In addition, emulsifiers can also preserve the lotions that we use.
Usually the usual emulsifier is sold in pharmacies (especially those serving beauty consuls), beauty shops or other stores that provide. Usually a bit hard to find.
Actually if we want, we do not always use emulsifiers. If we do not use emulsifiers, then we need to shuffle our ingredients shortly before use so that the oil and water can mix.
