Instructions:
- Pour the glycerine into a beaker, add the xanthan gum and mix well.20 g Glycerine, 2.5 g Xanthan Gum
- Place the coco glucoside and decyl glucoside into a separate beaker, then add your essential oils. Stir slowly to avoid foaming. If using an oil soluble preservative, add it now as well. Water soluble preservatives we'll add later.20 g Coco Glucoside, 17.5 g Decyl Glucoside, 1.25 g Lemon Essential Oil, .75 g Peppermint Essential Oil, .5 g May Chang Essential Oil
- Combine the two mixtures and stir carefully so as not to foam up the surfactants. I find it easiest to pour the surfactants into the glycerine/xanthan gum.
- Slowly add the distilled water and peppermint hydrosol to the mixture a bit at a time whilst gently stirring. Continue to stir carefully until thickened.100 g Distilled Water, 85 g Peppermint Hydrosol
