Advantages
REACH AZO-956G is a liquid active with low Zr content and a low metals:chloride mole ratio. The combination provides both economy and good sweat reduction performance. The gel exhibits acceptable aesthetic and physical properties, and clear application with no visible white residue.
Procedure
- Mix first three ingredients and fragrance to uniformity and measure refractive index (RI) of this oil phase.
- In a separate beaker, mix remaining ingredients to a clear solution and measure RI of aqueous phase.
- Ensure RI of oil and aqueous phase differ no more than 0.0004 units.
- Make adjustments to aqueous phase only: add propylene glycol to raise RI or add water to lower.
- Once the RI are matched, add slowly the aqueous phase to the oil phase in a mixer using moderate shear.
- When all of aqueous phase is added, apply high shear using homogenizer until firm gel is obtained.
- Gel at this stage may be cloudy due to entrapped air bubbles. This cloudiness clears upon cooling.
