References: material interactions
Hello everyone.
I’m looking for references/ literatures that may guide us about raw material interaction (physical/chemical). I hope it can help me in designing a formula, at least i can predict what will happen to my formula (still i have to do some testing).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. -

Your question is too vague for anyone to provide a good answer. What specific materials are you wondering about?
There does not exist a source that will tell you if you mix X cosmetic ingredient with Y cosmetic ingredient you will get Z interaction.

Trial and error to start until personal instincts kick in developed thru many TandE trials:even then T and E remains within the cycle of development.

@Perry is right.
However, if you live in the EU you would probably have a safety assessor who you could ask those questions. (since you need a safety assessment to put a product on the market in the EU) -
Thankyou @Perry, @”DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ”
, and @David.I realize that my question is too vague. Also I’m not looking for specific materials. I just wondering if there are books/references/links that explain about chemical/ physical interaction for any materials.
Trial and Error is the most important. I just want to find the scientific explanation of some interactions I’ve met.

The interactions are so complex that you would need a quantum computer to predict a simple mixture of two raw materials. There are too many variables making it mathematically impossible to predict.
Luckily! Otherwise we wouldn’t have a job
“I just wondering if there are books/references/links that explain about chemical/ physical interaction for any materials.”
I think every book ever written about chemistry fits that description
But I get your point. There are many interesting papers written, and many sources for them. Mostly university research. The issue? You have to pay for it. And I mean paying $40 for a pdf that may or may not give you the answers you need. If you are interested here are a few links:
