Will anything emulsify cinnamon powder?
I’m wondering if there is an emulsifier for cinnamon powder. This was the last ingredient I added to my natural face care recipe, and learned the hard way that it’s not oil soluble. The bummer of it is, the cinnamon seems to have grabbed all of my other expensive powders that had already been added. So now my formula has completely separated (all powders separated from my oils). Is there an emulsifier that will salvage this? Or is it time to dump and start over with the water soluble form of cinnamon (Cinnulin)?
Thanks for the help! I’m a novice at this.

YES. -
There’s not a way to save this batch, but if you want to make something with Cinnamon powder, you have to treat it like it’s a pigment, and use a foundation base formula.

That’s what I was afraid of.
Thank you for the insight! I’ll start over, and maybe use the sludge from this batch for a 10 minute mask.

Did you get it to work?
I want to make a toothpaste with oil cinnamon and cayenne. But the powders just settle if it’s too much oil but if it’s not enought it doesn’t flow…any ideas
