Cleansing Formulation Mixing Instructions

Here is a recommended method for mixing your cleansing formulation:

1. Combine the Water (81%) and Poloxamer 188 (10%) in a suitable container.
2. Gently heat the mixture to 40-50°C while stirring continuously. Continue stirring until the Poloxamer 188 is completely dissolved. Heating helps to speed up the dissolution process and prevent clumping.
3. Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool down to room temperature (below 30°C).
4. Once cooled, add the Niacinamide (5%) and stir until it is fully dissolved.
5. Next, add the Natural Betaine (3%) and stir until dissolved.
6. Finally, add the Eye Preserved (1%) and stir gently to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Your proposed method of heating the water and Poloxamer 188 first is a good approach for ensuring the Poloxamer 188 dissolves properly before adding other ingredients. Just make sure the mixture cools down sufficiently before adding the heat-sensitive components like Niacinamide and the preservative.
