These are ingredients I know my hair likes, so it was fun to be able to have all of them in one product. This is just thin enough to go in a standard pump bottle.
Feedback is welcome!
| Ingredient | % | Notes from comments |
|---|---|---|
| HEATED WATER PHASE | ||
| Water | 75.5 | |
| Hydrolyzed rice protein | 2 | |
| Honeyquat | 2 | *** put this in cooldown instead! It can get stinky if it is heated, I just got lucky. Also, it may be overkill since it's being outweighed by the BTMS. |
| Aloe 100x | 1 | |
| Silk amino acids | 2 | |
| Hydrolyzed flax seed | 1 | |
| Panthenol (powder) | 2 | Possibly reduce this for costs, since the price of panthenol went up again. |
| HEATED OIL PHASE | ||
| BTMS-50 | 7 | |
| Cetyl alcohol | 3.5 | |
| Almond oil | 1.5 | |
| Jojoba oil | 1.5 | |
| COOL DOWN | ||
| Germall plus | 1 <-- should be 0.5 | *** I'm dumb and mixed up my preservative usage rates, use 0.5%! |
Instructions:
- Measure & mix the oil & water phases separately.
- Heat & hold both phases separately for at least one hour at 70 C.
- When I did not hold the oil phase at this temp for long enough, the final product had small waxy chunks (even though to my eye, it looked completely melted).
- Mix water into oil and beat the **** out of it for at least 4-5 minutes. I used a cheap hand mixer.
- Optional: keep impatiently stirring to help the mixture cool down.
- Once the mixture drops below 50 C (in the middle, not just the top), add the preservative and beat again for at least 1-2 minutes.
