    Kaolin 8.754%

    PEG 8 Beeswax 10.213%

    Carnauba Wax 3.793%

    Candelilla Wax 6.711%

    Polysorbate 80 4.961%

    Grapeseed Oil 1.751%

    Jojoba Oil 1.167%

    Sweet Almond Oil 1.167%

    Bentonite 4.377%

    Phenoxyethanol 0.875%

    Fragrance 2.626%

    Sea Salt 1.167%

    Silica 1.751%

    Cetyl Alcohol 1.751%

    Stearic Acid 1.080%

    Phase A: Heat aloe vera juice to 71c.

    Phase B: Heat shea butter, peg 8 beeswax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, polysorbate 80, grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, cetyl alcohol and stearic acid to 85c. Combine phase A and B and emulsify using an immersion stick blender on low. Cool to 65c.

    Phase C: Mix bentonite, kaolin, sea salt and silica into the emulsion slowly.

    Phase D: Add fragrance and phenoxyethanol, mix gently and pour into jars. let cool uncovered to 21c.

    I do not have an overhead mixer or homogenizer. this is all done with a stick blender and im sure this is not the correct tool, but is all I have at the moment.
