🔧 Exact Addition Method (Hot / Cold Process)

Best Method: HOT PROCESS (Recommended)

1. Oil Phase: Add DS-CERAMIX-V to the oil phase.
2. Heat: Heat oil phase to 70–75°C until uniform.
3. Water Phase: Heat water phase separately to the same temperature.
4. Emulsification: Emulsify oil into water (or as per your emulsion system).
5. Cool Down: Cool with gentle mixing.
6. Finish: Add heat-sensitive ingredients below 40°C.

✔ Ensures best dispersion, stability, and ceramide performance.

Cold Process (Possible, with care)

• Pre-disperse DS-CERAMIX-V thoroughly in the oil phase.
• Use high-shear mixing to avoid graininess.
• Recommended only for experienced formulators.

🧪 Solubility Summary
