Technological Process:

1. Preparation of Components:

Measure all ingredients in the required proportions.

Separate the components into the aqueous phase and the oil phase.

2. Aqueous Phase:

Place distilled water, glycerin, and tetrasodium EDTA in a separate container and heat to 70°C.

3. Oil Phase:

In another container, melt the stearic acid, hydrogenated castor oil, microcrystalline wax, candelilla wax, cyclomethicone, and cyclotetrasiloxane until completely melted at 70°C.

4. Mixing Phases:

Slowly pour the aqueous phase into the oil phase, constantly stirring to ensure even mixing of the components.

Continue stirring until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.

5. Adding Active Ingredients:

Add the VP/VA copolymer, PVP, polyacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin, and Laureth-7 to the mixture, stirring thoroughly until completely dissolved.

Add phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol, stirring thoroughly.

Add sodium stearoyl glutamate and stir again.

Add sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH.

6. Cooling and Fragrance:

Cool the mixture to below 40°C.

Add fragrance and caramel for color, stirring thoroughly.
