  3. Quality control: Ensure no separation is observed, and uniform viscosity is maintained.

Water Phase

  1. Warm Aloe Vera Gel to 35°C separately.
  2. Slowly incorporate sugar into Aloe Vera Gel using a slow stir to avoid air bubble formation.
  3. Quality control: Test for smooth, lump-free slurry.

Final Processing

  1. Combine ingredients from the Oil and Water Phases into a single vessel.
  2. Add Tea Tree Oil, Lemon Essential Oil, and Preservative while mixing at 100 rpm for 10 minutes to ensure even distribution.
