Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Body Parfaits are super easy to make and sell like hotcakes RECIPE 1 Cat's Body Parfait Recipe Mix together: 1/4 cup clear aloe vera gel (the commercial stuff) 1 tsp. glycerine 1/4 tsp. flavoring extract or a few drops water-based scent 1-2 drops food coloring pinch fine glitter, if desired Set this aside. Separately, mix: 1/4 cup unscented body cream few drops fragrance oil 1-2 drops color (if desired...I leave mine white) Take a clear jar and spoon a layer of lotion in the bottom. Top with a thin layer of aloe vera gel. Top this with another thin layer of lotion, then gel, etc. until the jar is full. Here are some ideas for scents: Strawberry (gel)/Vanilla (lotion) Peach or blueberry, cherry, banana, watermelon, kiwi, raspberry, etc. (gel)/Vanilla (lotion) Orange Dreamsicle (orange gel/vanilla lotion) Pina Colada (pineapple gel/coconut with a touch of vanilla lotion) Summer Sorbet (cucumber or melon with a touch of lime gel/vanilla lotion) Tropical Swirl (mango with a touch of jasmine gel/vanilla with coconut lotion) Hawaiian Tropic (mango with a touch of banana gel/coconut with a touch of vanilla lotion) Amaretto (almond with a touch of cinnamon gel/vanilla lotion RECIPE 2 Here's a list of the ingredients in this recipe. For the Gel Phase: 1. ETD 2020 2. Triethanolamine (TEA) 3. Propylene Glycol (optional) 4. Preservative of choice 5. Colorant (optional) 6. Distilled Water For the Lotion Phase 1. Liquid Polymer 2. Coconut Oil (or oil of your choice) 3. Preservative of choice 4. Fragrance (optional) 5. Distilled Water I'm going to give you the recipes in grams, then I'll convert them into the recipe I used at the SOSCCON conference. First, you'll notice that I don't scent the gel phase. Adding scent will cloud the gel unless you mix it with an appropriate amount of Polysorbate 20. I think that's a real pain in the behind, so I slightly over-scent the lotion to compensate. The fragrance in the lotion will migrate over to scent the gel as well in about a day. Side note: If you don't want to use Polysorbate 20, but do scent the gel, it does make a beautiful, opaque color. I did this while I was coloring with Green Select Shades™ and scenting with our Sweet Green Tea fragrance oil and got an awesome jade-looking gel. Gel Ingredient Percentages 1. Water: 93.4% 2.
