Made a nice textured lotion by spur of the moment/accident
80% water - this was excess water from a pot of cooking rice, after simmering for at least 15 mins, quite Thick stuff.
10% oils
6% wax 165
2% cetyl alcohol (i think. it was accident so could have been ewax nf, or cetostearyl alcohol)
1% b3
.05% preservative
essential oil
The texture was so nice and it was soothing on swims chronic dry skin and psoriasis, which I made it for, reading about rice starch as a soother for this skin condition. Used the best oils I had, usually anything stings upon application but there were no complaints and swims skin was nice up to the next day.
The texture of the lotion was super thick but I didn't like how it was a bit tacky as it fully dried. Was this because there was too much rice starch?
The rice is very high in minerals and protein, highest I have ever seen.
Sunbrown brand
Is this gruel or rice water called hydrolyzed rice?
Thanks for reading, any ideas would be great!
