If Phase C ingredients are present, such ingredients are mixed together in a separate suitable container (where necessary) and are added to Phase B. When both Phases are homogenous, Phase A is slowly added to Phase B while mixing Phase B with propeller blade. Mixing is maintained until the batch is uniform. The resulting emulsion is then milled using a suitable mill (e.g. Tekmar T25) for several minutes to insure uniformity. The product is then poured into suitable containers. The resulting product exhibits enhanced penetration of the oil-soluble skin care actives and good aesthetics.
