    LOL , that is what I love about making my own skincare. Now, what would something like that cost on the shelves - marketing and international brand added? :)))

    Plus, it’s so much fun in changing the recipe each month and adding the other half of oil soluble actives one has bought….

    Let me guess if someone had to buy this product he/she should have a net worth of not less 500 mil ;-)

    As far as pasting a spreadsheet, unless you know html code the best way would be to take a screen shot and post the picture.

    @Perry - thanks for the hint - will do either that or just copy-paste in notepad and take the pure text from there !

    Since formulas are such a big part of this discussion board, I’m going to look into a way to do it better.

    Well, now 4 years later, do we still have only Dimethicone  and  Ajinomoto’s EB 21 & GP 1 for clear oil- gel?

    I have had experience in thickening oils using Resin Wax ( C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylsilsesquioxane). This wax reduce the oily feel and is an excellent ingredient. The only problem is that it is relatively expensive and sometimes it forms crystals on the surface if cooled inappropriately.
