    @cosmo_girl, you have to work with us here. We don’t get paid to do this - we are volunteering because we like helping and encouraging other chemists. It seems like getting enough info from you for us to help you is like pulling teeth.

    So…specifically, what kind of oils? Silicone, organo-silicone, vegetable oils/triglycerides, esters?
    Also, specifically what kind of emulsion? W/O, O/W, W/O/W, micro-emulsion? Do you need cold-process?

    Lol. You asked me to emulsify what an i told you. I am trying to emulsify oils. I am not trying to be difficult here but i literally answered what you asked. Sorry if you feel I am making it difficult which I def am not trying to. I appreciate this forum and all the input you and others provide and what you are doing here. So, if there is more info you want ask for me to be specific and i will do so from the get go. Though, I will keep in mind to provide details to begin with!

     

    Now thank you for asking for more info. I can provide you with what i have. I am working with hydrocarbons, fatty compunds: triglycerides, fatter esters. Silicone: polyphenyl siloxane. Varying Mineral Oils, Water in oil emulsion. Cold process is not necessary as I do heat up to 65.

     

    Hope this helps. let me know what other kind of information you are looking for.
