Final Processing

  1. Add glycerin slowly to the blend at a constant temperature of 45°C.
  2. Mix for an additional 20 minutes at 250 RPM until the formulation reaches a homogeneous consistency.
  3. Conduct viscosity measurement using a Brookfield viscometer to ensure consistency matches specification.
  4. Allow cooling to room temperature and perform final microbial testing before packaging.
