Peel-Off Face Mask C5032

This mask forms a cohesive, transparent film over the skin causing dirt and grime to be
flushed from the pores. Procetyl AWS functions as a plasticiser and is present in conjunction
with Airvol 540 as the film former. Croderol GV9000 is a humecant, which binds moisture to
the skin and therefore acts as a moisturiser. Ethanol is present to accelerate the speed of
drying of the face mask.

Method
Disperse Airvol in two thirds of the water at 70-75°C. Stand for 48 hours at room
temperature until fully hydrated. Heat to 65-70°C and add remaining water, Chlorohydrol,
Croderol and Carbowax. Mix until homogeneous. Stir to cool. Premix Procetyl, perfume and
ethanol. Add the premixed perfume at 40-45°C. Fill off when uniform.
This clear gel face mask is applied to clean skin for 5-10 minutes. During this time it dries to
form a uniform film that is peeled from the skin leaving it clean and refreshed.

Non-warranty
This formulation has been subjected to limited stability tests and has been shown to perform well. However formulators adopting this approach should ensure to
their own satisfaction long term stability and functionality. It is good practice to conduct safety tests on all final formulations prior to marketing. Suggested uses should
not be taken as an inducement to infringe any existing patents.
