Instructions
- Weigh all the ingredients in separate containers if needed.
- Heat water, goat milk, and sodium lactate in a water bath to 70°C and keep this temperature for 20 minutes. To account for water evaporation during heating, weigh the container before heating and take a note of the weight. After the time has passed, weigh the container again to see how much water evaporated. Add the appropriate amount of distilled/deionized water to compensate for any water lost during heating. At the same time, heat xanthan g7um, coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax, xylanase, and cetyl alcohol.
- Mix the phases and emulsify using a stick blender.
- Cool the emulsion in a cold water bath, and stir during cooling down.
- When the temperature reaches 40°C add preservative, essential oils, and Vitamin E oil, and mix thoroughly.
