(Quote) 100% this. But they are also dancing on tiktok for soap. Perhaps dermatology doesn’t pay what it use too

(Quote) Leaves. 🤣 dead

(Quote) Thanks Perry. The derms also had a stake in the stem cell company soooo. But did spend a good amount of time telling me plant and human cells are the same. Red flag right away, but authority bias hit!

(Quote) Thanks Mark. This makes sense. I’ll study up more on growth factors. I thought they were just humectants.
-
(Quote) Well.. some is already established (spf filters etc) But you should do testing to back up your claims. The responsibility is of those making the claim.

The ingredients and % determine if is a drug or a cosmetic. Soap is a cosmetic. So if they make a “cures acne” claim - that is incorrect for a cosmetic. “Helps the appearance of acne” may be more suitable. The claim itself does not make it a drug. T…

(Quote) Ageee. 4% is good

(Quote) I think the concern for those who can do smaller MOQ (and charge more for it) is that you will outgrow them. Plus smaller quantities of raw materials cost more. (This the charge to you) you might have to bight the bullet yourself in…

What is the product? A cream? A balm? You just want it in buckets or filled?

Oh boy! I just did this today. 6000 daltons be 1.5 million daltons. (Image) Sorry I can’t upload video . this 1% and HMW is THICK

I assume your using sesame oil for eczema ..but it’s a dry feeling oil. Maybe some squalene and a butter? And a try some different emulsifiers. They make all the difference

Is ethyl ascorbic acid not stable on its own? I’m curious why you need the ferulic acid? For knowledge too please!
-
I’ve always just tossed it in the water mix and poof it’s gone. And I use 3%.

(Quote) Thanks. I can for sure see my way is certainly not very credible in “report” format. I’ll double check that they really need this for a simple formula like this. I don’t see anyone asking for it though (retailers/health Canada/FDA)
-
(Quote) Gotcha. It doesn’t seem necessary though recommended. (For this simple formulation anyway)
-
(Quote) I understand. What is the document they present? Is stability a specialized field or could I produce one using proper conditions?

what is the end pH?

Happy happy birthday!

I am dying at these responses 🤣 tell them you charged it with moon beans and sang it a song.

They work differently..BP creates an oxidized environment that p acnes does not do well in. SA breaks up the dirt and oil that clogs the pore. I think it depends on the type of acne you have as to which works for you. Also in Canada BP is only allow…

(Quote) Oh thank you! Honestly I was freaking out that I’m missing something. You made my day

Oh I’ve tried poly 20 instead of CME as well. Tonic must be clear.

(Quote) Thanks!

Are you ok with adding a little SLS? It will thicken with iselux

Cera bellina is dreamy.

Agree to share formula, if you’re adding scent…that can break it as well.
-
Canada allows up to 2% but consider labeling as well as claims. You need to add the warnings and they will check once you notify them.
-
I have. And the issue is not usually with the brand. They can be reasoned with. The issue is the retailers they sell to. Each has a no no list. They all vary so there is no one standard to formulate. These brands sell in these forums so must comply.…
