FORMULATION GUIDE:

• Varisoft EQ 65 Contains 65% of Distearoylethyl Dimonium Chloride and 35% of Cetearyl Alcohol. Fatty Alcohol like Cetyl Alcohol can be added at 0.5% for every 1% of Varisoft to increase Conditioning.
• Preservative can be added at 40° C while mixing and allow it to cool.
• If the emulsions and conditioners has a small oil phase, Varisoft EQ 65 can be measured into the water phase and heated to 75°- 85°C along with any other heat tolerant oil or water soluble ingredients or dispersed into the water at 80°- 85°C.
• In emulsions and conditioners with a larger oil phase, Varisoft EQ 65 and other oil or silicone soluble ingredients may be heated at up to 85°C. The water phase has to be heated to a similar temperature. And then both can be added at high shear. Allow to cool to 40°C (104°F) before adding preservative, fragrance or essential oils, or other cool down ingredients. Allow the product to cool to room temperature before mixing again for 30 seconds to 1 minute to obtain optimal viscosity.
• In any product, the pH should be adjusted at the end of the formulating process to pH 4 to 4.5 as it can hydrolyze at pH levels higher than 5. This can be done by adding drops of a solution of 50% Citric Acid Solution and testing until it reaches ideal pH.
