    Another small quantities supplier with a wide range of ingredients is https://www.glamourcosmetics.it/it/
    Unfortunately, they don’t ship outside of Europe (and they imposed MOQ for the UK after Brexit). But for those who are in the EU, I highly recommend checking them. They sell many Lubrizol, Clariant, Seppic, Croda and other big brand ingredients. They also have The Innovation Company’s pigment blends.

    Another EU supplier with rare ingredients:
     https://farmaciavernile.it/materie-prime
    They have BHA and BHT, parabens (not in blends but separately), formaldehyde releasers, some PEGs that I haven’t seen in other places, antiperspirants (aluminium salts) and other rare stuff. A bit difficult to navigate. Check the functional substances section. I ordered from them several times.

    Hi! I can recommend olive oil. It completely replaces castor oil, helps eliminate cracks in chapped lips and has much more benefits to offer you.

    I see no one’s recommended CCTG. If it has been already mentioned, i apologize. I feel CCTG is a great alternative to castor oil. Slightly expensive yes but does a better job at most things. You could add natural butters to increase your suspension’s viscosity. You can add grape seed oil (20%) to the blend. Both these work brilliantly together.
