Botanica Natural Herbal Cream, 500 ml, white

Product Information

Take a sample of the cream and test the pH, we are aiming for a pH of 5 to 5.5. If it is any more or any less, adjust accordingly. In the pandemic years in which we wore less makeup, consumers shifted their attention away from desiring to look and feel young to wanting to look and feel healthy. This encouraged cosmetic companies to promote healthy ageing and focus on products that impart, for example, radiance, a healthy glow and freshness to the skin. Squalene and squalane are produced in the body and are natural constituents of human sebum, and are some of the many lipids the body produces to moisturise and protect the skin. As we age, our natural production of squalene slows down significantly. Fortunately, we can obtain a sustainable, plant-based alternative to squalene which is highly stable against oxidation. FSS Amaranthus Squalane (see our list of suggested suppliers below) is intended to replace the squalane/squalene that is lost over time causing our skin to become dry and irritated. It may be used as a moisturiser in various cosmetic applications to promote skin renewal and repair. Instructions : Shake well. Dilute two capfuls of Botanica Cleansing Wash in approximately a litre of warm water. Bathe the area with a cloth or sponge. Avoid rinsing off, instead let it soak in for a few minutes, and towel dry the area. It can be used on broken skin and insect bites. After using the Botanica Cleansing Wash, apply the Botanica Herbal cream twice daily. When the mixture of phase AB has cooled below 40°C, add in the gum mixture (phase C), mix in with the mini hand whisk and again, if you have access to a high-shear mixer, shear for 15 seconds.

Hyaluronic acid and lipid production is also reduced.
