Manufacturing Process
The source provides the complete ingredient list for this formulation but does not provide a separate step-by-step manufacturing process for this specific formula. Therefore, the process below should not be presented as source-derived.
For a production blog based strictly on the book, the safest description is:
- Prepare the water phase.
- Incorporate the listed surfactants gradually with controlled mixing.
- Add glycerine and the remaining supporting ingredients.
- Add pearl paste and fragrance during the finishing stage.
- Add MCIT/MIT according to the formulation.
- Check the final product for uniformity and appearance.
Note: The source itself does not specify the exact addition order, temperature, mixing speed or final pH for this formulation.
Role of Key Ingredients
SLES 28%
Primary cleansing and foaming surfactant.
ALS
An additional anionic surfactant contributing to cleansing and foam.
Coco Glucoside
A nonionic surfactant included in the cleansing system.
CMEA
Used as part of the formulation’s surfactant/structuring system.
CDEA
Supports the surfactant system and contributes to product texture.
Glycerine
Humectant included in the formulation.
Pearl Paste
Provides the characteristic pearlized appearance.
Disodium EDTA
Chelating agent included in the formulation.
MCIT/MIT
Preservative specified by the source.
Fragrance
Provides the desired fragrance to the finished handwash.
Important Manufacturing Points
- The source specifies 56 kg water and the listed quantities above.
- Avoid excessive aeration while mixing surfactants.
- Add fragrance carefully during the finishing stage.
- Because the source does not provide a fixed pH for this formula, do not invent a target pH.
- The source also does not specify a fixed salt/thickener adjustment for this formulation.
- Always conduct a small pilot batch before commercial production.
