Shampoo Formulation: Correct Mixing Procedure for EasyThick

Regarding your proposed steps for mixing the shampoo, the procedure you outlined is not the recommended method. The staff's reply provided a more suitable approach, particularly for properly incorporating the Easy Thick thickener with the shampoo base.

Here is the recommended mixing procedure based on the staff's advice:

1. Prepare the water phase: Mix ingredients 2 (Disodium EDTA), 3 (Biotin Express), 4 (Safe-B3), 5 (Hydrolyzed rice protein), and 6 (Phenoxyethanol SA) into ingredient 11 (Water).
2. Prepare the shampoo base phase: Mix ingredient 1 (Sulfate Free Shampoo Base) with ingredient 10 (Easy Thick). Gently heat this mixture until Easy Thick is fully dissolved and combined with the shampoo base.
3. Allow the shampoo base phase to cool down.
4. Combine phases: Slowly add the water phase (from step 1) into the cooled shampoo base phase (from step 3), stirring gently until the mixture is uniform.
5. Add final ingredients: Add ingredients 7 (Fragrance), 8 (SiliWater), and 9 (Salt) to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Following this procedure will help ensure that the ingredients are properly dispersed and the desired consistency is achieved.
