I was wondering if anyone had any input on this situation. I made an emulsified scrub recipe off of Swift's site. It made 3 jars worth. One jar has been in my shower for 4 months. I've used it 4 or 5 times. I just noticed that some oils are starting to separate out, but only in the jar that's in the shower. The unopened jars (one of which I just opened) are fine. (And it's definitely oils, not water, that are in separating out). Any thoughts? Here's the recipe:
25% shea butter
10% emulsifier (I think I used e-wax (don't have my notes in front of me)
5% C12-15 alkyl benzoate
10% cetyl alcohol
20% fractionated coconut oil
20% apricot kernel oil
2% cyclomethicone
2% dimethicone
2% fragrance oil
1% Vitamin E
1% Phenonip (this is the only thing I've ever used Phenonip for - I'm not sure why it's preferred for this recipe, rather than plain old Germall Plus.)
125% to 150% sugar
Thanks for your thoughts!!
