    In the process of registering a OTC drug with the FDA, and you need to choose a MW according to their FDA Substance Registration System. Choices are:

    Polyisobutene 1300, 1000. 2300. 45000 or 55000 MW

    How are the other MWs nasty, @Bobzchemist?

    Incredibly sticky and adhesive, near zero spreadability. STP oil treatment is~90% 45000.

    Wow, now that’s detailed knowledge! Neither the supplier Lotioncrafter or Seppic US knew.

    It helps when you’ve worked with the polyisobutenes before. The same properties that make them horrible for skin care make them AWESOME for mascara.

    I find Sepiplus to work extremely well as an emulsifier in a emulsion containing benzoyl peroxide, where emulsifying wax nf wasn’t stable enough. Rub in is comparably good too.

    Any potential caveats?
