INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING A LOTION WITH
RITAMULSE SCG (GERMALL PLUS VERSION)
1. Weigh your water phase into a heat proof container and put into a double boiler.
1a. Weigh your total water phase on a scale - jug and all - so we can compensate for the lost
water before mixing. And set some water in a separate container to heat. A pot with water
on the stove or boiling up the kettle works well. You don't need to boil it the whole time -
bring it to boiling now and you'll have some less-than-boiling water for step 3a.
2. Weigh your oil phase into a heat proof container and put into a double boiler.
3. Heat both phases to 70˚C (158˚F) and hold for 20 minutes. This is to ensure both phases
are the same temperature when we mix them together. (This is part of the emulsification
process - the heating part of emulsification.)
3a. Remember how we measured the water phase in step 1a? Measure it again - zero your
scale and measure the jug and all. Add enough of the warm water to get you to the total
weight from step 1a.
4. When both phases reach 70˚C (158˚F), pour the water phase into the oil phase in a thin
stream or the oil phase into the water phase and mix very well with a stick blender or hand
mixer (or Kitchenaid if you're a lucky person) for about 5 minutes.
5. Set aside. When the lotion reaches 40˚C to 104˚F then add your cool down ingredients
and mix again. Just leave it to cool slowly to room temperature.
5. Allow the lotion to come to room temperature before bottling. If you are using jars, just
glop in what you have made. If you’re using a tottle bottle, a piping bag or a plastic bag with
the corner cut off will make it so much easier to fill up!
6. Always label your bottle with the ingredients and date so you can replicate it or throw it
away when the shelf life expires.

*The difference? Moved the glycerin/propanediol 1,3 to the cool down phase as it needs to be mixed with
Euxyl PE 9010 before adding to the lotion. And reduced the distilled water amount to 67% from 67.5%
to account for the 0.5% difference between using Germall Plus liquid and this preservative.
