Procedure:

  • In Phase A, premix gums in glycerin. Add to DI water and Panthenol under homogenizer and while heating to 75 °C until dispersed and hydrated.

  • Predisperse Phase B.

  • Under propeller blade, mix Phase C while heating. Once mixed, add Phase B ingredients. Heat Phase BC to 75 °C with high agitation.

  • Add Phase D to Phase BC. Mix at high speed until dispersed and thickened.

  • Add Phase E to Phase BCD. Continue mixing and heating Phase BCDE to 75 °C until Phase E is completely melted. Begin cooling under propeller blade to 50 °C.

  • At 50 °C, add Phase F to Phase BCDE and continue mixing.

  • Add Phase G to Phase A and mix until dispersed and thickened.

  • Using homogenizer, slowly incorporate Phase BCDEFG into a Phase A and emulsify.

  • Mix and cool Phase BCDEFG under propeller blade.

  • At 35 °C, add Phase H.

  • Continue to cool to room temperature and adjust pH as needed.
  • Eyeliner with HS Pigments

    Gelest’s Hydrosperse (HS) surface treated pigments disperse without milling to give fine pigment particle size and full color development.

  • Add Phase D to Phase ABC and homogenize while increasing heat to 80 °C.

  • At 80 °C, add Phase E to Phase ABCD and heat to 85-90 °C while homogenizing.

  • When Phase ABCDE and Phase F reach 85-90 °C, add Phase F to Phases ABCDE under homogenization. Hold temperature and mix for additional 15 minutes. Cool to 45 °C and add Phase G. Continue to cool to 30 °C.

    Procedure:

  • Add Magnesium Aluminum Silicate to DI water and homogenize for 15 min at 3000 rpm in main vessel. Dissolve VP/VA Copolymer in DI water (under heat if needed) and add to Phase A.

  • Premix Xanthan gum in glycols. Add Premix to main vessel and homogenize until gum is fully hydrated.

  • In a separate vessel, add pigments to DI water. Mix under a propeller blade until dispersed and adjust pH to 7.0. Add Phase B to Phase A and mix until homogeneous at a lower speed.

  • Add Phase C and mix until dispersed and uniform.

  • Add Phase D and mix until uniform. Adjust batch to pH 7.0, if needed.
  • Waterproof Mascara with SR Pigments

    The Sebum Resistant (SR)-treated pigments increase water resistance and adhesion to the lashes while reducing the tendency to smudge.
