anhydrous balm stability
Hi everyone, I’ve been trying this formula and maybe you can
help me with some issues:I was trying to prevent the graininess that usually appears
in this kind of product adding Sorbitan olivate (olivem 900) and it seems to
make it less process dependant.My client wants to add sugar or salt as an exfoliant, my
doubt is if they would dissolve somehow in the emulsifier and I’ll be losing
the particles? Or if the salt would absorb water that would end in phase
separation?My client also wants a high amount of grapeseed oil, but I
have a concern it gets rancid although vitamin E, could it make unstable
the balm? I mean, if it gets rancid, besides the unpleasant smell it can be
changes in viscosity, separation of the oils from the bulk, etc?Does anyone have experience with Naticide? Could that prevent contamination
during usage? (it will be packed in a jar) Or which other preservatives would
be recommended (best if Ecocert) in this case?Much appreciated!
