Method
For making a small test batch divide weights/tsp by two to receive 50g instead of 100g. Add phase A into a
disinfected glass beaker and heat to 176F/80C to melt the ingredients. Add phase B to phase A and stir well.
Then add phase C to phase A/B and stir again well. Remove from the heat and pour into a compact case or
small pot containers and let cool. If the consistency is to soft add some more of the stearyl palmitate, heat again
in the glass beaker until the stearayl palmitate is melted and fill into containers. If too hard add some more of
the polyisobutene, reheat stir well and pour into containers. You can also add more color if necessary to make
the shade you like.
Properties
Compact Cream Blush with a smooth texture and velvet feel. Color can be changed by using other mica
pigments, e.g carmine red, bordeaux red, blackstar red etc.
