Watermelon &Rose and Bergamot Body Butter - the perfect treat for summertime.
Taking care of our skin is essential, especially during summer when it tends to get dry and dull. And what's better than a homemade, natural, and refreshing body yogurt to keep your skin soft and supple? In this post, we will be sharing a DIY Watermelon Rose Body Yogurt recipe that will not only nourish your skin but also leave you smelling amazing.
Let's delve deeper into the ingredients that we'll be using and their benefits:
1. Distilled water (INCI name: Aqua) It is a highly pure form of water that does not contain any minerals, making it perfect for cosmetic formulations that require a high degree of purity. This ingredient forms the base of our body yogurt and helps to provide hydration to the skin.
2. Rose Hydrosol (INCI name: Rosa Damascena Flower Water): It is a byproduct of the distillation process of rose essential oil. It is a natural astringent that helps to tone and tighten the skin. Additionally, it is excellent for hydrating and soothing dry, irritated skin. This ingredient is perfect for those with sensitive skin, as it is gentle and non-irritating.
3. AQUAXYL (INCI name: Xylitylglucoside (and) Anhydroxylitol (and) Xylitol): AQUAXYL is a patented complex that is used in body care formulations to boost hydration levels in the skin.
This ingredient helps to retain water in the skin and prevent transepidermal water loss, which can lead to dryness and dehydration. Aquaxyl is derived from natural sugars and is considered a safe and effective ingredient for use in skincare products. Body lotions, creams, and serums that contain Aquaxyl can help improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Aquaxyl is often combined with other hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to provide even greater moisturizing benefits for the skin.
4. Provitamin B5: Panthenol (INCI name: Panthenol): 3.00% usage rate: It is a powerful moisturizer that helps to improve the skin's barrier function, reducing water loss and keeping the skin hydrated. This ingredient is perfect for those with dry skin, as it helps to lock in moisture and prevent it from evaporating from the skin's surface.
5. Dimethicone (INCI name: Dimethicone): It is a silicone-based emollient that helps to smooth and soften the skin. It also forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss. This ingredient is perfect for those with rough, dry skin, as it helps soothe and moisturize the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
6. Watermelon Seed Oil (INCI name: Citrullus Lanatus Seed Oil) It is a great moisturizer that is easily absorbed by the skin. It is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which help protect and nourish the skin. This ingredient is perfect for those with oily skin, as it is light and non-greasy.
7. Blue Raspberry Slushie Fragrance Oil (INCI name: Fragrance): It provides a pleasant scent for the body. This ingredient helps give yogurt a fresh and invigorating scent that is perfect for everyday use.
8. Euxyl PE 9010 (INCI name: Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin) It is a broad-spectrum preservative that helps prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold in cosmetic formulations. This ingredient helps to keep our body's yogurt fresh and safe to use for an extended period.
9. Aristoflex (INCI name: Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer): It is a thickener that helps give yogurt a creamy, luxurious texture. This ingredient helps to enhance the texture of our body yogurt, making it easy to apply and absorb into the skin.
Each ingredient in this recipe has its own unique properties and functions that work together to create a moisturizing and nourishing body yogurt. Our Watermelon, Rose, and Bergamot Body Yogurt is perfect for all skin types and can be used daily to achieve soft and smooth skin.
To apply body yogurt, start with clean and dry skin. Take a small amount of yogurt in your hand and massage it evenly onto your skin, focusing on dry or rough areas. Allow the yogurt to absorb into your skin for a few minutes before getting dressed. Use daily for best results.
