               Appeal 2007-0652                                                                            
               Application 10/320,028                                                                      
                      1.  A process for manufacture of a personal care composition                         
               comprising:                                                                                 
                      (i)  forming a first aqueous phase portion of a personal care base                   
               composition in a first vessel;                                                              
                      (ii)  optionally forming a second phase portion of the personal care                 
               base composition in a second vessel;                                                        
                      (iii)  delivering via an electronically controlled servo-driven rotary               
               pump the first aqueous phase into a blending tube, the first aqueous phase                  
               moving through the blending tube at a rate from about 5 to about 5,000 lbs.                 
               per minute;                                                                                 
                      (iv)  optionally delivering via a further electronically controlled servo-           
               driven rotary pump the second phase when present into the blending tube,                    
               the second phase moving through the blending tube at a rate from about 5 to                 
               about 5,000 lbs. per minute;                                                                
                      (v)  mixing the first aqueous phase and, when present, the second                    
               phase within the blending tube;                                                             
                      (vi)  feeding a late variant addition phase into the mixed phases of the             
               base composition downstream from the mixing in the blending tube, the late                  
               variant addition phase comprising a liquid material selected from the group                 
               consisting of a fragrance, a colorant, a promotional ingredient and mixtures                
               thereof, to form a resultant personal care composition;                                     
                      (vii)  delivering into and further blending the resultant personal care              
               composition in a static mixer; and                                                          
                      (viii)  recovering the resultant personal care composition.
