Jen's Bodacious Cream

Formula

1. Combine and heat water phase on a hot plate or double boiler, stir to dissolve. Bring to a temperature of 80°C (176°F).
2. While water phase is coming to temp, combine and heat the oil phase in a separate container. Gently stir the oils and waxes to melt them all together. Cover and hold at this temperature until the water phase is ready.
3. If your water phase pot is deep enough to avoid splash out when blending, pour the oil phase into it. If not, pour the oil and water phases together into a Rubbermaid-type straight-sided pitcher or deep mixing bowl. Insert an immersion (stick) blender into the mixing vessel, keeping it near the bottom and blend. Move the stick blender around in the vessel to make certain that the lotion is well mixed.
4. For larger batches (more than 300g), place your mixing vessel into a cold water bath to create a cooling jacket around your mixing vessel. Immediately resume blending your lotion with your stick blender, moving it around the bottom of the pot to fully incorporate the mix. When the mixture is incorporated it will turn an even white color, continue blending until temperature is 40°C or lower. Remove the container from the cold bath and add preservative with mixing. 
5. Add fragrance (optional) to the emulsion and mix well.
6. Pour the cream when it has cooled, but not "set up". It will continue to set up (for approximately 24 hours) as it sits in the containers.
   

Makes approximately 1000 grams or 35.5 ounces of lotion.
