Cetearyl alcohol and polysorbate

[Melissafdodd]

Ingredients are: cocamidopropyl betaine, distilled water, emulsifying wax, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sunflower oil, castor oil, fragrance, sodium lactate, preservative

The emulsifying wax is at 7%

The sci is dissolved in coco betaine over heat, then the e-wax, sunflower oil, castor oil are added over heat.

The water is heated separately with the sodium lactate and then combined with the oil phase.  

I stick blend while hot and several times while cooling.  I stick blend again when temp is cool enough for the preservative to be added.

I experimented with the formula and intentionally added more than the necessary amount of emulsifying wax to see if the fragrance still caused separation.  It did.  My fragrance is only used at .25% so it is literally several drops of fragrance to an 8 ounces bottle.  As long as I use it unscented, it doesn’t do this.
