Instructions for use : 1) Transfer the water phase (mineral water, hydrolat, citric acid and wheat proteins) to a container to be heated. The aloe and glycerine will be added at the end of the recipe. 2) Heat this phase over a low heat in a bain-marie until the citric acid and wheat protein have melted. Stir gently while heating until the mixture is homogeneous. Remove from heat and sprinkle with xanthan gum. Whisk until a gel is formed. 3) In another container, transfer the oil phase and heat very slightly in a water bath to approximately the same temperature as the water phase. 4) Gradually add the oil phase to the water phase, mixing gently with the mini whisk. When the preparation is lukewarm, add the aloe vera and glycerin. 5) Slowly add the surfactants. Slowly stirring the mixture will prevent it from bubbling. 6) Finally, add the preservatives and essential oils, always mixing gently between each addition. 7) Transfer the preparation into the bottle using the small funnel if necessary.
