A scented gel that will help your legs and feet on hottest days enriched with red grape and blueberry to reactivate blood circulation.
Preparation
Add the glyceric extracts to water and heat in a bain-marie/on an electric hotplate (it is not necessary to boil, it is only to help mixing of the ingredients)
Add the gum to the mixture slowly and by sprinkling, mix them well to avoid lumps.
Leave to rest for about 10 minutes so that the gel takes on consistency
Add the essential oils, mixing well between each addition
Note: the pH of the preparation is about 5-5.5
Measure the pH using a phmeter or litmus paper, if the pH is not between 5-5.5 adjust it with
- 30% caustic soda solution if the ph is below 5
- lactic or citric acid if the pH is above 5.5
CAUTION! Work with a graduated pipette and add a drop or two at a time!
How to use
Apply to legs and feet massaging in circular motions, only a small amount is needed as the essential oils are very strong and could be irritating. Rinse with cold water as the oils may be photosensitive and the gel may form a patina on the legs.
It can be stored for up to 3-4 months!
