Hair Mask / Hair SPA Concentrate 85

• Active Conditioner: Behentrimonium Chloride & Cetrimonium Methosulfate.
• Structural Base: Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, and Glyceryl Stearate.
• Moisture Retention: Heavy-duty Glycerin and Sorbitol.
• Repair Agents: Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein.
• Gloss Factor: Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate or Phenyl Trimethicone.
• Chelating Agent: Disodium EDTA.

This is a concentrate. Heat the base and distilled water separately to 70°C-75°C. Slowly add water to the base while stirring continuously to form a smooth emulsion. Let it cool before adding heat-sensitive actives or fragrance.

• Formulator's Tip: For a "Professional SPA" look, use a 1:3 ratio. While cooling, stir at a low speed to ensure the texture remains thick and "whipped" rather than liquid.

Q: How does Base 85 differ from Base 81?
A: Base 85 is more concentrated and designed for a "thicker" body, making it ideal for professional salon-exclusive masks.

Q: Can I use tap water for dilution?
A: No, always use distilled or DM water to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the stability of the emulsion.

Q: Does this base work on chemically straightened hair?
A: Yes, it is highly recommended for post-chemical treatments to restore lost lipids and moisture.

Q: Can I add Color Actives to make a "Color-Protect" mask?
A: Yes, Base 85 is very stable and can easily incorporate color-protecting actives and UV filters.

Q: Is it safe for the scalp?
A: Yes, it is skin-safe, but as with most masks, it is best applied from mid-lengths to the ends for maximum volume.
