4. Pre-grind powders before adding to phase C. Then combine phase C and heat to 75⁰C.
5. Add phase C to phase A/B and stir under high shear until a glossy, homogenous emulsion forms. Continue stirring under low shear as temperature drops.
6. When <40⁰C, add phase D to phase A/B/C and stir through until homogenous. Continue stirring under low shear as product cools.
7. When <25⁰C, check/adjust pH to 5.5 - 6. Cover and give another stir the next day before packing off.
