how do you explain that at trace amounts well below 1 PPM of Prop 65 chemicals (0.005 PPM perhaps) do not present a significant exposure or health risk to a regulatory person?
Ok folks up!!! I used Ultrez20 and a little tweak here and there and it came out really cool. I did put it in the 55C oven last night and it did not suspend the glitter. I am going to do the 40C overn over the weekend. But over all I am very hap…
first and foremost you are not a "dummy" for trying to learn and understand a topic you may not have a lot of experience in. At least you are trying to seek information to help your cause. There are lots of people that try to pass themse…
@Microformulation Thank you so much! I have learned alot from already..I assume it the "finer details" that I am looking for that come from experience that I am curious about. I have looked up the chems.
The reason why I asked the quest…
@Microformulation that is cool!!!
Instead of using the Aqua SF-1 I was going to use Ultrez 20 and neutralize with NaOH.
I am assuming you are using more alcohol to avoid using a preservative?
Do you mind me asking what is you final pH range?…
Making a body mist spray. Just not sure how I should have the order of ingredients. I know this doesn't equal 100%. I just want to know what is the best order of addition.
Water-26.8%
carbomer 7.5%
PG 2.0%
NaOH-0.75%
Alcohol -50%
shimmer and ext…
You may want to keep the pH toward 4.5-5.5 range for the vagina. Lots of lubes have glycerin but it is not the best since it can cause yeast infections.
Good Morning to all,
@Chemist77- I know the specifically mention octyldodecanol as a solvent. I am using what I have available to me. I got super bold and did 10% of ethocel it dissolved in the oil mixture at 80C nicely. I added IPM and crodamol C…
@Chemist77 No I haven't tried it. Thank you for the suggestion. I am trying to use what I have in house. I am ordering the ethocel. would methocel do the trick also? I am also trying to suspend beads.
I am using Sipernat 500 LS. Particle size 10.5 µm. I am looking for something to just thicken and not have an exfoliation feature. Should I add glycerin or maybe thicken in with Xantham gum?
@Microformulation Thank you so much. sometimes the basic things can be the most confusing to me.
So the water to alcohol ratio would be something like 80:10? So the PG is not really needed?
mikrokill is Phenoxyethanol (and) Chlorphenesin (and) Caprylyl Glycol and its broad spectrum. now this product will be used in the intimate areas. so you don't think it needs to be broad spectrum? I am using sepimax zen as my thickener.
Now my issue using phenoxyethanol only for a preservative is because it is not broad spectrum. Would mikrokill be a better choice? I am going to try phenoxy ethanol alone.
May I ask what is the purpose for using a cationic emulsifier over a non-ionic/anionic emulsifier?
If I wanted to use a thickening agent I would also have to use a cationic agent like a guar gum and not something like xanthan gum?
They will teach you everything you need to know. Each company has its own cGMPs and SOPs that you will need to read and follow. Just enjoy your time there. Be a sponge!!!
This may depend on how sophisticated you want to be, your facilities, and the size of your investment.
You can purchase kettles or small tanks if you have a place that has a boiler and heating system. I have seen companies use large cooking pots…

I sent an email and got the most bland of replies in 3 paragraphs.. they tell me to examine Article 7 and Article 8 of Title 27, California Code of Regulations for safe harbors. Since my questioned is based on concentration they …
