@Sibech, thanks a lot for your valued inputs. I appreciate.
I do not have experience on this area. But, I love it.
I found that linoleic acid staying long without rancid if I use extra virgin coconut in the formula. So far up to 6 months, the cream still OK.
One factor that I learned from @ngarayeva001 is coconut oil can clog pores.
Luckily, I found babassu oil has same characters as coconut oil and doesn’t clog pore. -
@Dtdang what I understood, it’s impossible to predict much by fatty acids composition (that would make life easier) I guess that there’s some true in comedogenic tables, but only as a high level guidance. I decided not to buy exotic oils anymore. By the way is babassu oil liquid?
-
@ngarayeva001, Babassu oil is not oil liquid. When you put it on the skin, it will smelt and absorb through skin.

@ngarayeva001, we cannot calculate accuracy amount of fatty acids on natural ingredients. But we can calculate [ lower, high] of each.
“Grease Fall” concept is great for formulation. -
Thank you @Dtdang, that’s what I thought. It shouldn’t be liquid with that much of saturated fats (word oil instead of butter confused me). Grease fall is a very interesting concept. I analyzed a couple of great commercial products after you shared that article. Seems like they follow it.
