A velvety soft gel with a bamboo exfoliant. Gentle enough to use on the face when used lightly, strong enough to use on the body with more pressure. Rinses clean away leaving the skin so soft.
Weigh all Stage 1 materials into a stainless steel bowl and place into a saucepan of boiling water (double boiler/bain marie). Bring up to a temperature of over 70°C whilst stirring continuously. This is important to stop it from going lumpy.
Put the Stage 2 materials into a separate stainless steel bowl. When the Stage 1 has hydrated and formed a thick gel remove the bowl from the double boiler and put into a pan of cold water to cool it down quickly. Keep stirring all the time.
When the gel is under 40°C add the combined Stage 2 ingredients. Stir thoroughly, jar and label.
