Method

1. Measure out Phase A.
2. Combine Phase B to form a slurry.
3. Add to Phase A and stir through until a homogenous gel forms.
4. Heat phase A/B to 80⁰C while stirring.
5. Combine phase C. Add to HOT phase A/B and blend with a stick blender until waxes melt and a glossy, homogenous emulsion forms.
6. Allow mixture to cool while stirring occasionally until <40⁰C.
7. Add phase D and stir through until homogenous.
8. Tare an empty jug or pot on scales and put your finished cream into it. It will have lost water weigh, add more water to bring it up to final weight. In this case 200g. Then blend/stir again.
9. Allow to cool <25⁰C.
10. Check/adjust pH to 5.3 - 5.8. (Check out our blog on pH testing and adjusting)
11. Full viscosity will be achieved the next day, do not evaluate on the day you make it. Cover and allow to set overnight and give a final stir the next day before packing off.

Substitutions

• You can replace the teatree hydrosol with another hydrosol or more water.
• You can replace the Manuka essential oil with another antiseptic essential oil, such as kanuka essential oil, lavender essential oil or leave it un-fragranced if you wish.
• Keep in mind changes can affect the colour, smell, feel and/or viscosity of the finished product.
