    Material

    • 1 thermometer
    • 1 mini whisk
    • 1 jar of 100 ml

    Preparation

    1. Clean and disinfect equipment, utensils, work surfaces and hands.
    2. Weigh the oil phase in a beaker and heat it in a bain-marie to 70°C maximum. Then remove from the heat and allow to cool. Mix well.
    3. Weigh the aqueous phase in a beaker and heat it in a water bath to a maximum of 40°C. Then remove it from the heat. Mix well.
    4. When the 2 mixtures are at the same temperature (between 40°C and 50°C), slowly pour the aqueous phase into the oily phase without ceasing to shake vigorously with a mini whisk for about 3 minutes until the mixture whitens and becomes homogeneous.
    5. Without ceasing to stir, place the beaker in cold water to accelerate the cooling and setting of the emulsion for another 3 minutes.
    6. Add the aloe vera gradually, mixing well between each addition.
    7. Transfer the preparation to a sterilised container.
