Cleansing Balm (CPF 4438)

A unique waterless balm that transforms into oil upon skin contact, gently but effectively cleaning the skin, removing make-up and leaving a smooth after-feel. CleanHusker enables mild exfoliation thanks to Dow's corn-based MaizeCare™ Style Polymer.

Disclaimer: Any variation in the formulation may cause performance to change.

Procedure:

  1. Mix together phase A ingredients at 500 rpm while heating to 70°C with a water bath to melt the waxes. Maintain mixing until homogeneous.

  2. Incorporate each phase B ingredient to phase A under mixing. When homogeneous, remove from heat.

  3. When mixture reaches less than 30°C, sprinkle phase C ingredient into phase AB. Maintain mixing for an additional 2 min.

  4. Cool down slowly under mixing and dispense into containers while still warm and flowable (but cool enough to have a good suspension of MaizeCare™ Style Polymer particles).
