Instructions:

1. Combine the ingredients of Phase A in a heat-resistant beaker and heat gently in a water bath to 70-75°C until the EMUL-ACTIV W is fully melted.
2. Combine the ingredients of Phase B in a separate heat-resistant beaker and heat to the same temperature.
3. Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while stirring constantly with a homogenizer or stick blender.
4. Continue stirring vigorously for several minutes until a smooth emulsion forms.
5. Remove from heat and continue stirring gently as the emulsion cools down to below 40°C.
6. Add the ingredients of Phase C and mix well.
7. Adjust pH if necessary.
8. Transfer the lotion to a clean container.

Recommendations for Use:

• Heating Required: EMUL-ACTIV W requires heating to melt and properly emulsify the oil and water phases.
• Homogenization Recommended: While not always strictly necessary, using a homogenizer or stick blender significantly improves the emulsion's texture and stability.
• Cool Down Phase: Adding heat-sensitive ingredients during the cool-down phase preserves their efficacy.
• Preservation is Essential: Always use a broad-spectrum preservative to prevent microbial contamination.
• pH Adjustment: Check and adjust the pH of the final product if necessary, as some active ingredients are pH-sensitive.
• Concentration: Typical usage levels range from 2-5%, depending on the desired texture and the other ingredients in the formulation.
• Testing: It's always recommended to conduct stability testing and patch tests before launching any new cosmetic product.
