Montanov 68 Processing Guidelines:

• Montanov 68 should be included in the oil phase and heated to 185F/80C.
• Heat water phase separately.
• When both phases are at 185F/80C, add water phase to oil phase.
• Begin mixing with HIGH SHEAR mixer (homogenizer or stick blender) until emulsion begins to form.
• As emulsion begins to thicken, switch from stickblender (or homogenizer) to stirring utensil (or paddle/propeller mixer)
• DO NOT place in cold water bath to cool emulsion down rapidly. When emulsion has cooled down to 50C, you can place in water bath
• Stir until cool
• At 50C you may add your preservative and later your essential oil
