Answer
Combining Aloe Vera Gel Base with Shea Butter and Coconut Oil
To combine the Aloe Vera Gel base with Shea Butter and Fractionated Coconut Oil, you will typically need to create an emulsion, such as a cream or lotion. The Aloe Vera Gel base is water-based, while Shea Butter and Fractionated Coconut Oil are oil-based. Oil and water do not mix without an emulsifier.
Here's how you can approach this:
- Aloe Vera Gel Base: The Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) is suitable as the water phase of your formulation. It provides moisturizing and soothing benefits.
- Oil Phase: Shea Butter and Fractionated Coconut Oil will form your oil phase. Shea Butter offers rich moisturizing and skin conditioning properties, while Fractionated Coconut Oil is a lightweight, easily absorbed oil.
- Emulsifier: To combine the water phase (Aloe Vera Gel base) and the oil phase (Shea Butter and Fractionated Coconut Oil) into a stable product like a cream or lotion, you will need to use an appropriate emulsifier. The choice of emulsifier depends on the desired texture and stability of the final product.
Without an emulsifier, the oil and water components will separate over time. By using an emulsifier, you can create a smooth, homogeneous cream or lotion that delivers the benefits of all three ingredients.
