Tired of looking tired and drawn? This formulation offers instant relief to those unsightly under-bags; it
firms, smoothens and lifts the skin under the eyes. While the sodium silicate provides an immediate,
smoothening and de-puffing effect under the eyes, Dynalift helps to lift and firm sagging skin in just
minutes. In addition to adding comfort to the formulation Sensasil™ PCA reduces the dryness and
provides a long lasting silky feel, whereas, CrodamolTM STS lessens the whitening effect of the sodium
silicate. The primary emulsifier CrodafosTM CS20A was selected to tolerate the high sodium silicate load,
and enhance performance of the actives.
Procedure:
Combine Part A ingredients with medium speed propeller mixing, slowly dispersing the Carbomer and
Hydroxyethylcellulose, while making sure to check for lumps before proceeding. Initiate heating to 45ºC
and maintain temperature until the water phase is homogenous and free of lumps. In a side kettle, heat all
contents of Part C to 75-80ºC. When Part A is at 45ºC, slowly add sodium silicate (USE PPE) to the batch
and continue medium speed propeller mixing until uniform. **Viscosity might go up when adding the
sodium silicate because of the carbomer thickening but it will slowly go down when adding the balance of
the sodium silicate. The pH of the system will climb to approximately 12. When uniform, qs and add 50%

citric acid aqueous solution to the batch to obtain a pH of 6.00-7.00. Continue medium to high speed
propeller mixing until uniform. A gradual increase of viscosity is expected. Increase mixing speed as
needed. Continue heating the batch at 75-80ºC. When Parts A, B and C are at 75-80ºC and uniform,
emulsify by transferring Part AB to a homogeniser and add Part C to Part AB slowly. Homogenise for 5-10
minutes or until uniform. When uniform, stop homogenising and transfer to side sweep mixing. Cool to
room temperature. When the batch is at 50ºC, add Part D and continue side sweep mixing until uniform.
When at 40ºC, add Part E and continue side sweep mixing until uniform. At room temperature, stop mixing
and check specifications.
