Combine phase A materials. Add Lucentite SAN slowly. Stir at high speed for 20 minutes. Add ethanol and stir an additional 20 minutes. Combine phase C ingredients and stir at a high speed for 45 minutes.  Add gel phase A-B to phase C to form the base. Combine aqueous phase D and stir until clear. Add phase D slowly to the base and continue homogenizing while heating to 85˚C. Add the waxes (phase E) at 70˚C to the base and continue to homogenize. Begin air cooling. At 65˚C, QS solvent loss. At 42˚C, add the panthenol/Germall solution. At 38˚C, add the Cell-U-Lash slurry. Continue homogenizing and cool to 25°C.
