No threads on the topic in 2018, so I wanted to ask a few questions.
We have family members with Plantar Fascitis, Hand Tendonitis, Back Pain, and Arthritis. There have been lots of requests for me to make a "natural pain relief cream" so everyone can try it on their body parts. No one cares about getting high.
There have been discussions, but I haven't seen any step by step guides. I tried this a few months back with Raw Cocoa Butter, Raw Mango Butter, Essential Oils, Preservative, Beeswax, Emulsifier, etc. and it was a mess. I couldn't get a nice consistency.
I purchase all my ingredients from Bulk Apothecary to ensure top-notch premium quality products
INGREDIENTS:
Flower - OG Kush ~22% THC (dispensary tested) - 10grams
Optional Ingredient: Datura (aka Moonflower) Leaf and Seed Pods
100% Pure Essential Oils - Eucalyptus, Ginger, Wintergreen, Lavender, Rosemary
Carrier oil - Refined Sunflower Oil
Preservative: Germaben ii E
Side note: I may be growing Purple Orange 5%THC/10%CBD to use a high CBD product
EQUIPMENT:
Decarb - Ardent Nova Decarboxylator
Infuser - LEVO Oil Infuser
Mixer - KitchenAid Blender
The plan is to create 16 liquid ounces of product, which would result in 100g THC/oz of product - assuming a 75% THC extraction from the flower.
I'm looking for recommendations as to how I can turn this into a cream that can be put into a pump bottle. All the infusing will be done with the sunflower oil in the LEVO after the flower has been decarbed. I need to figure out what other products I need to create a thick creamy consistency and then the process to make it happen. I don't know much about emulsifying, other than I did it wrong last time. I also have to take into consideration that the essential oils and preservative need to be kept under 100 degrees F.
