Rice Wax

New quality (small pale yellow beads)

* levelled: a spoon filled to the brim, with the excess removed using a spatula or the back of a knife

Old quality (large orange-yellow flakes)

* leveled: a spoon filled to the brim, with the excess removed using a spatula or the back of a knife

• In balms and sticks : 1 to 10% (of the total weight of your preparation), or even more, to be added to the oil phase

• In emulsions (creams) : 1 to 5% (of the total weight of your preparation), to be added to the oil phase

• As the sole wax, mixed with oils and butters to create balms.

• Used alone, without an emulsifier, to make "Gallien cerate" type creams: the wax helps to "hold" the emulsion by thickening the oil phase. These emulsions are quite difficult to make and are often unstable over time. To make stable emulsions easily, we recommend using an emulsifier and adding wax for a protective and nourishing effect.

• In combination with an emulsifier: adding a small amount (1-5%) of wax to an emulsion thickens it and increases its stability and film-forming power, while giving it a creamy texture and soft feel.

• In combination with other waxes (candelilla, carnauba, beeswax) in lip balms and lipsticks.

• 60 g shea butter

• 20 g baobab oil

• 20 g rice wax

• 4 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin

• 20 drops of Roman chamomile essential oil

• 7 drops of natural vitamin E

Method: Melt the wax and butter in the vegetable oil in a double boiler. When the wax has melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a whisk or pestle. Pour into the jar before the mixture hardens.

Use: Use in summer and winter to soothe skin exposed to heat or cold, softening and rehydrating it.

For a 50 ml glass jar

• Equipment: 1 saucepan; 1 mortar; 1 pestle; 1 mini whisk; 1 scale.

• Aloe vera oil macerate: 15 g

• Organic Rosemary Verbenone Hydrosol: 5 g

• Vegetable substitute for lanolin: 2 g

• Rice wax: 2 g

• Shea butter: 1 g

• Licorice powder: 1 teaspoon

• Propolis plant tincture: 5 drops

• Natural vitamin E: 4 drops

Method: Pour the aloe vera oil macerate, rice wax, and shea butter into the mortar. Heat the mixture in a double boiler until the rice wax and shea butter are completely melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and wait for the mixture to cool slightly. Add the rosemary hydrosol in small amounts, stirring in a figure-eight motion with the pestle at the bottom of the mortar to help the emulsion set. Add the licorice powder, vegetable lanolin substitute, propolis vegetable tincture, and vitamin E, continuing to stir in a figure-eight motion with the pestle. Pour the mixture into the jar and store in a cool place.

Important notes (Aroma-Zone): It is not easy to make a stable emulsion (cream, milk) using only wax. As waxes are weak emulsifiers, we recommend adding an emulsifier. In addition, to ensure the preservation of this preparation, we recommend adding a preservative.
