Method for making Gels

Stage 1

1. Measure the water in a jug and pour into a bowl.
2. Measure a level 2ml Measuring spoon with Xanthan Gum Powder.
3. Sprinkle the Xanthan Gum Powder over the water little by little, whisking vigorously. If your Gel gets lumpy, blend until smooth with an electric blender.
4. When there are no more lumps, stop whisking or blending.

Stage 2

5. Add all of the other pre-measured ingredients and mix well in to the Gel.

Wow, great site. Where can you get Xanthan Gum Powder?

Any health food store. In fact, our grocery store has it in the health food or organic section. With Lavendar oil, imagine how relaxing it would be!

Ooh, I love LAVENDAR!! I have lavendar candles, bath gels, soaps, sachets, shampoo, LOL I planted some lavendar in my herb garden. I use to get lavendar mints, but can't find them any more. I want to try to make some, but not sure where to find a recipe. Ok, I'll shut up.

Thank so much for those directions!!! Just what I needed J

cool I will have to experiment. I can see this turning into christmas gifts. My mom has a little pot that she has some kind of gel in that smells. It slowly evaporates and fills the room with the smell. I wonder if that woudl work for that too. If so I know what to do for her Birthday.

Remember not to use cinnamon essential oil if you're going to put it on your skin, many people have a bad reaction.
