Procedure

Phase A: Add Disodium EDTA into deionized water.     While mixing, disperse Carbopol* Ultrez 20 Polymer into the water phase.  Add Glucam* E-20 Humectant and glycerin to batch. Heat batch to 70°C. PART B:  In a separate vessel large enough to contain entire batch, mix ingredients and heat to 70-80°C. At 70-80°C, slowly add Phase A to Phase B.  Allow the emulsification to complete by mixing the batch for 5-10 minutes at 70°C. Begin cooling batch under continuous moderate mixing.  When batch has cooled to 50-60°C, neutralize with Phase C. Mix until uniform. Continue cooling batch. When batch has cooled to 45-50°C, add Phase D ingredients in order, one at a time to batch. Mix until uniform. Continue mixing batch until it has cooled to 35-40°C.
