Renew your skin while you sleep with this innovative, moisturizing night mask. Scoop the cream onto the face to apply an even layer; leave on for 5-10 minutes to absorb into skin.  Wipe off excess with tissue and massage remaining cream into the skin (do not rinse).  Awake to moisturized skin that feels velvety soft and smooth. The unique cream texture will reshape itself after use, always offering the consumer a smooth surface.

Procedure

1. Homogenize Phase A in the main vessel and start to heat to 75-80°C
2. At 50°C, sprinkle in Phase B (premixed at RT) and mix while heating until viscosity slightly increases
3. In a side beaker prepare Phase D, heat to 75-80°C until homogeneous
4. At 75°C, add Phase C in the main vessel and mix until homogeneous
5. At 75°C, add Phase D while homogenizing. The emulsion should be homogeneous.
6. Cool down the temperature
7. At 30°C add Phase E ingredients one by one and mix well
8. Stop at 25°C once batch color is homogeneous
