We introduced the concept of viscosity in this post on fluid viscosity. In this follow-up article, we explain some of the key considerations every formulation chemist should consider when setting a viscosity specification.
Viscosity measurements are commonly used on release specifications for raw materials and cosmetic formulations because these 
types measurements are quick and easy to take. It is important for cosmetic chemists to understand what viscosity and rheology measurements mean in terms of formulation performance and stability in order to develop robust specifications. It may seem like an intimidating task to cover all the variations that can arise, but vigilance and experience will make you feel far more confident. Here are a few guidelines to use when developing viscosity (and other) specs for your new formulations.
to do this is to review their product claims, then guess how they support what they’re saying. In this entry I’ll show you an exercise that will help improve your skills in this area.
that’s right, shopping is a very important part of the job. Shopping allows you to identify trends, keep up on competitive intelligence, and look for opportunities to fill an unmet need. Here are some tips to get the most out of your shopping experience.
year because I realized there were a lot more job listings for chemists in the newspaper than for biologists. Biology was great but I needed to make money to pay off my college loans. I accidentally stumbled into the 
understandings of basic human hair and skin biology.
