Disclaimer: Any variation in the formulation may cause performance to change.

Processing instructions:

  1. Add phase A to beaker and heat to 75°C using a water bath. Mix until melted and homogeneous.

  2. Add phase B to a separate beaker. Mix until DOWSIL™ 2511 Cosmetic Wax and salt are dissolved. Can heat to 40°C to speed dissolution if desired.

  3. Cool phase A to 50°C, keep mixing.

  4. Very slowly, add phase B to phase A (keeping at 50°C) while mixing at high shear (high RPM and high shear mixing blades).

  5. Once phase B addition is complete, add phase C and D one at a time, mixing at least two minutes under high shear for each.

  6. Homogenization will aid with stability but will need to be done while formula is still >/= 40°C. Stop mixing, pour down while still warm. Formula will thicken as it cools.
