| cleansing oleogel by Stella Crown |
After the last post about oily cleansing gels, I received a lot of e-mails; your interest in this soap-free cleanser product has exceeded my expectations and frankly I am so happy that you have started making your own oleogels! Mostly, I was glad you modified it to your skin type and your age group from 15 to 65 years old.
Personally, I love making them because I can use different oils and extracts each time or enrich them with powders and clays and basically now that I am writing this post, I have already thought of the next gel I will use for peeling. And because we have become obsessed with rose lately, the present formula has been adjusted accordingly.
Cleansing Oleogel with Rose Petal Powder
recipe for 50 g | 1.7 oz
cosmetic phase a:
10 g | 0.35 oz Sucragel
cosmetic phase b:
12 g | 0.42 oz rose infused grape seed oil
8 g | 0.28 oz rose hip oil
8 g | 0.28 oz sea buckthorn oil
6 g | 0.21 oz centella asiatica oil
cosmetic phase c:
5 g | 0.18 oz vegetable glycerin
15 drops vitamin E
10 drops preservative
5 drops rose essential oil
4 drops neroli essential oil
3 drops geranium essential oil
3 drops frankincense essential oil
- Before you start making the oleogel, sterilise tools, containers, work surface and definitely wear gloves.
- Follow the oleogel preparation procedure; available here.
- For the rose infused oil, I wrote here.
Avoid eye contact. If you wish to apply it on your eyes, don’t use the essential oils.
how it works?
- Use a small amount of gel in a dry palm and we do circular massage with our fingers on dry skin (face and neck). After spreading the product, we wet our hands with water and continue the massage for 1-2 minutes. The cleanser changes consistency and emulsifies (turns into a milky lotion) on contact with water, cleanly removing grime, makeup and leaving no oily residual.
- Rinse with a damp, warm face towel.
- You can also combine this amount of the gel in your palm with a bit of water. Massage into your face, and rinse off.
- Repeat if required when removing heavy makeup.
