I'm not from Hawaii but I have used the 98% sodium hydroxide drain cleaner from my hardware store to make soap because it says you could on the packaging and it even came with a recipe. Now I'm not so sure if that was a prudent choice.

(Quote) That's certainly what La Roche Posay thinks (or wants us to think) - 1. In a study 100% sponsored by La Roche Posay and authored by a La Roche Posay employee: "madecassoside associated with copper/ zinc/manganese sal…

(Quote) I think you might be talking about another polymer like Sepigel, Sepimax Zen is very electrolyte resistant.

(Quote) Very interesting, lecithin sure does feel amazing on the skin and they definitely do have a very unique name for it too

After skimming through it, they make it seem like using Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate alone will do damage, but all they say is that using Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate correlated with the upregulation of some genes that are annotated with interferon-1 prod…

Milady's Skin Care and Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary by M. Varinia Michalun and Natalia Michalun. It's used in esthetician/beauty therapist courses. It is a good book for beginners looking for a foundation in how and why products work on the ski…

(Quote) Sure, here are the products and their ingredient lists: * L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil: Vitis Vinifera (grape) Seed Oil, Tipa-laureth Sulfate, Laureth-3, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Parfum/fragrance, Cocamide Mea, Propylene Glyco…

It's possible, L'Occitane and The Body Shop both have an oil based body wash that lathers. Lush uses glycerin instead of water for much of their shower gels.

One downside is that it has a smell but it's not unpleasant

Also on the topic of distilled water, since it is not preserved, how long can you keep an opened container of distilled water?

Hi, I'm a hobbyist, but I've been using Eumulgin SG for the past few months and it's become one of my favourite emulsifiers. 2) It's "naked" feeling, I've made thin serum emulsions to thick body butters with it. 3/4) I find it very effi…

Maybe it is part of the Ceramide complex as an incidental ingredient?

I like to mix fragrance oils with essential oils - I think it really gives it that something special I find a lot of fragrance oils I buy online are too heavy in musk for my preferences, and it can smell old-fashioned - does anyone else think so to…

I'm not an expert but it piqued my interest, it looks like the chemical is a residual substance - how did they find it?

I don't think moisturizers needs be applied on damp skin unless the product specifically says you could. This abstract (I couldn't find the full article) suggests that using a moisturizer designed for application to damp skin is easier to apply on …

Out of curiosity, from the list it looks like the P-Anisic Acid is in the oil phase and I was wondering why

Is that enough ethanol to be sanitizing?

What does your information say about SCI and pH below 6? I'm pretty sure it can work properly in pH 5

(Quote) Thanks Phil, I'm not sure how they got such bad quality information, which makes me wonder about the quality of their product, rest assured I won't be using this ingredient as the sole preservative.

Liquid Germall Plus is easier to use in my opinion, tiny amounts of powder are hard to measure and work with.

(Quote) That's really interesting! Out of curiousity, what tends to happen?

I'm not a professional but I've seen Natpure Xfine by Sensient used to colour cosmetics, in this video That being said, I have not used it because I can't find any repackers selling it

Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate

I think it is just rather specious marketing. I have a tube from a gift, I just tried it, it leaves fingerprints on my phone screen and the window. I then compared it with another hand cream from a different brand and one of my own creation which…

I suspect the impact of their fraud is going to be quite substantial, and it seems they were doing this for quite a while. For example, one of the largest Australian sunscreen brands primarily used AMA Labs for their SPF testing and it was found th…

This seems dangerous, I hope you are taking all the necessary precautions. Here are some YouTube videos that you might possibly want to watch that demonstrate this effect but with hot water used: Sodium hydroxide to hot water Hot Water to sodium…

(Quote) Yes, here is some information from Australia. Where it is only allow when: "in topical cosmetic preparations containing 0.0002% or less of transgenic, plant-made epidermal growth factor".

Ahh thanks! It sounded like an intriguing multi functional ingredient with anti-oxidant, preservative boosting and anti-inflammatory claims but publicly available data on it is scant.

Looks like just wrong INCI, I speculate the ingredients list is not complete (missing potassium hydroxide) or the INCI is for another product.
