Seabuckthorn & Extracts

Face Lotion for Most Skin Types (except very dry)


Water Phase:
240g water (48%)
50g aloe gel (15%)
25g neroli hydrosol (7.5%)
25g lavender hydrosol (7.5%)
10g sodium lactate - humectant (2%)
10g cromoist hydrolyzed oat protein (2%)


Oil Phase:
20g sunflower oil (4%)
20g jojoba (4%)
10g seabuckthorn (2%)
20g BTMS-50 emulsifyer (4%)
10g cetyl alcohol - thickener (2%)


Cool Phase:
10g Panthenol (2%)
1tsp Chamomile powdered extract (0.5%)
1.5tsp Honeysuckle powdered extract (0.5%)
2.5g Liquid Germall Plus - preservative (0.5-1%)


Pale yellow, smells slightly herbal.  Silky smooth, non greasy, suitable for all skin types except very dry.  Thicker texture than I expected- could be adjusted with the amount of cetyl alcohol (more for a cream, less for more liquidy).
