Simple Process
Simply dilute the Liquid Crystal Concentrate with water,
add fragrance, color and preservative of your choice and thicken your
product by adding common salt. Liquid Crystal Concentrate is highly
active as a 5:1 concentrate with typical use levels of around 20 to 30
%. It has excellent clarity, low odor and a neutral color. Although
highly active, it has a low viscosity, making it readily pour able or
pump able.
-
Neutral pH
-
Manufacturing efficiencies are readily achievable with
this system.
-
Product will produce copious amounts of dense, creamy
lather that rinse away easily and completely
By adjusting the quantity of Liquid Crystal Concentrate
and the addition of Conditioning Additive and Liquid Pearl at various
percentages, several different products can be produced with different
characteristics and levels of cost effectiveness
