Colour references and sensory targets for your next matched lab comparison.
- 01Structured, deliberate pick-up
- 02Opaque, even coverage
- 03Satisfying rinse without harsh drag
Design targets to compare in C0/T1, not measured sensory results for your formula.
- 01Treat the intrinsic mineral note as a design decision
- 02Track intensity during exposure
- 03Check skin and towel residual after rinse
Open input: run a blind C0/T1 odour comparison before choosing fragrance or flavour.
Source formula: 0.6% Parfum / Aroma. Choosing an odour target does not change that composition. An unfragranced control needs a separately revised base for both C0 and T1.

Process skeleton
- 01Heat water and oil phases separately to 80°C.
- 02Emulsify the oil phase into the water phase.
- 03Add the rheology phase and homogenise.
- 04Cool under controlled stirring; add fragrance below 30°C and finish homogenisation.
Boundary: This is intentionally a dark-format route. The calculator changes only Peat Extract against Aqua; application thickness, dry-down, rinse and preservation still require a matched batch.

Select the visual target for the matched batch.
No colour is preselected. A reference documents an observed colour family; it does not prescribe the project AHE level.

Does the selected AHE level achieve high-impact mineral colour, controlled coverage and a precise clarifying ritual in the complete Clarifying mask?
A format-specific guide route exists; its level and process remain guide-formula specific.

- Material expression
- Deep mineral colour with controlled spread, coverage and removal rather than an accidental muddy appearance.
- Sensory character
- Dense but workable, even on application and satisfying to rinse clean.
- Formulator's hook
- Treat colour, application thickness, exposure and wash-off as one designed system.

Original formulation colour evidence
Dark raw material. More than one finished colour outcome.
Vehicle, opacity, pigments, AHE level, process and use state shape the finished expression.
What this proves: a dark ingredient does not force one dark finished-product aesthetic. What it does not prove: a universal shade prediction. Confirm colour in the matched batch under fixed lighting.

For the R&D team turning an idea into its own base
Keep the material and process choices visible.
Six parameters connect the creative direction to the complete base while ingredient specification, guide experience and finished-product responsibilities remain separate.
- Current ingredient specification
- Request current version
- Formulation vehicle
- Define the complete system
- Addition and process
- Confirm for the format
- Colour and texture
- Evaluate in the exact base
- Low-viscosity formats
- Plan physical stability
- Finished product
- Validate independently
Use the controlled specification applicable to the project and supplied material.
Vehicle, water phase, rheology and other materials can change dispersion and appearance.
Review order of addition, temperature history, shear and homogenisation for the complete formula.
AHE load, base colour, opacity, particle distribution and packaging visibility shape the final expression.
Assess settling, redispersion, use instructions and packaging in the target system.
Confirm stability, microbiology, safety, packaging, performance and claims.
