After shave recipe – Craft Gossip

I got the recipe for this After Shave from Snowdrift Farm’s newsletter to promote Cremophor CO 40, which is hydrogenated castor oil. Cremophor CO 40 is an emulsifier and can be used to make clear water-based sprays and lotions and as a dispersing agent.

After Shave

Phase A

3.00 oz. Cremophor CO 40®
0.10 oz. Menthol crystals
0.50 oz. Fragrance or essential oil

Phase B

60.00 oz. Formulator’s Alcohol

Phase C

3.00 oz. Panthenol
33.40 oz. Water

Instructions:
Citric acid as needed to adjust to pH 5.

Melt the Cremophor CO40® and combine the menthol and the fragrance with it. Add a few menthol crystals at a time and ensure that they have dissolved before testing and adding more.

Slowly add the alcohol to this mixture using a whisk. Combine the panthenol with the water and add it slowly to the alcohol mixture. Adjust the pH to 5 using citric acid.
