1. Color, specifically `Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix`?
2. `Titanium Dioxide 200nm EasyDisperse™`, after mixing it with Silicone from Phase C?
3. `Aloe Vera Full Extract`?
Answer
Hello,
Regarding your questions about the mixing steps for your lotion formula:
- Mixing Color (Beige Iron Oxides EasyMix): Based on the previous advice, you can mix the color with the oil phase (Phase A) or add it to the cream base after combining Phase A and B and mixing.
- Mixing Titanium Dioxide 200nm EasyDisperse™: Yes, mixing the Titanium Dioxide with Silicone (part of your Phase C) before adding it to the combined A+B phase is a correct approach as suggested by the staff.
- Mixing Aloe Vera Full Extract: You should add the Aloe Vera Full Extract after the cream has cooled down. Add it to the cooled cream base and mix until well combined.
Hope this helps!
