Reaction Steps
Linoleic acid (5 parts) and isopropyl myristate (2 parts) are added to cetyl alcohol (70 parts) molten at 50° C. A solution obtained by successively dissolving menthol (0.25 part), eucalyptol (0.5 part) and camphor (0.25 part) in cineol (3 parts), at a temperature of the order of 20° C., is added to the resulting solution. This gives a phase φ1.
