A process for mixing a composition housed in a sealed container, the process comprising the steps of:
- providing a composition in a sealed container,
- wherein the composition comprises a liquid medium and a consumer product adjunct ingredient that is insoluble in the liquid medium;
- wherein the composition is present in an amount of
- (a) about 50 kg to about 5000 kg, and/or
- (b) an amount of about 50 L to about 5000 L;
- rotating the sealed container around a vertical axis in a rotating step,
- wherein the rotating step comprises at least two rotation cycles,
- wherein a rotation cycle comprises a first step followed by a second step,
- wherein the first step comprises rotating the container in a first direction around the vertical axis, for from about 5 to about 60 seconds at a maximum speed of from about 20 rpms to about 100 rpms,
- wherein the second step comprises rotating the container in a second direction around the vertical axis, for from about 5 to about 60 seconds at a maximum speed of from about 20 rpms to about 100 rpms,
- wherein the second direction is counter to the first direction.
