Stopping and safety rules

  • Stop when the target pH is reached or within your selected tolerance.
  • Stop if pH overshoots or total adjuster solution reaches 15% of the original batch weight.
  • Pause if pH moves quickly, and never add more than the previous measured dose at once.
  • Add diluted adjusters slowly, mix thoroughly, let the product settle, then retest using the same method.
  • Check final safety, preservative effectiveness, stability, viscosity, and skin feel before use.
