Formulation view An oil-free emulsion using starch and benzoate esters for texture, blended with plant oils and moisturizers. Cationic polymers provide conditioning, supported by ferment filtrate. Factory observation: starch particles are shear-sensitive; viscosity stability must be monitored during scale-up.
