(Quote) I thought ammonium thioglycolate was the chemical used, not sodium thioglycolate...?

@DaveStone I was thinking more along the lines of the perm changing/damaging the structure of the hair follicle...
-
Would older (30 years ago) home perm kits have any of the aforementioned chemicals and if so, is it possible those chemicals could permanently alter the way ones hair grows? My hair was as straight as straight could be up until I was about 11 years …

(Quote) Oh awesome! Thanks @Perry 🙂

@Perry yes, you are 100% correct. Hence the last sentence in my post. Honestly, until I came here to this blog, I was under the impression that cosmetics had the ability to back up most of their claims without being labeled a drug. Now I know that i…

(Quote) I gotta second this though process. We have to believe we'll be able to make something monumental and life changing otherwise we're just trying to make a buck and that's just not good enough. I too want to believe that if I happen t…

(Quote) Unfortunately it is mostly, if not all, puffery.

The only thing I would buy from Brambleberry is their fragrances. I get different ingredients from both MC and LC...the former is usually a tad more expensive and shipping tends to take longer. I prefer the packaging and quality from MC over LC ge…

(Quote) Well, that's definitely a matter of preference 😉 I don't like my products to be sticky either so I keep the amount of glycerin low..like below 2-3%...and then I'll usually match that amount with propendiol.
-
Propendiol is preferred over sodium lactate when formulating with polymeric emulsifiers that are sensitive to electrolytes. I usually use both Glycerin and Propendiol :)

I'm going to assume you mean your budget is $150 an hour, correct?

Are you sure those percentage amounts are correct...? Looks like it adds up to over %100...

@Graillotion I came across this blue mica that is supposedly natural... https://www.rusticescentuals.com/products/Deep-Ocean-Blue-Mica.aspx I don't know if you're opposed to micas or not but some are considered natural while others aren't...

(Quote) I tend to agree, particularly when we're talking face creams/lotions...I think in general consumers prefer a white or off white product for face but body lotions can go either way...in fact, as a consumer...with a marketing backgrou…

(Quote) I've been meaning to ask you more about this...so say cost is not an issue...what other ingredients would you recommend for making a conditioning beard balm...? Also do you prefer btmc over btms..? Thanks in advance!

(Quote) Would adding Lauryl Laurate help counteract that yellow color? It tends to make things ultra white...🤷♀️

(Quote) I wouldn't be surprised if they are not right about that...I've came across a few weird/incorrect pieces of information on their site in the past 🤭 And when I do, I come here and ask the experts! 😁

(Quote) I add mine at cool down as well (dimethicone 350) but I know I could add it to oil phase, however even the non-volatile silicones often have a max heat restriction. For example, according to Making Cosmetics, dimethicine 500 should …

Wow, what great feedback! I have been very blessed with my mother's and grandmother's soft skin, however, I do apply lotion every time from head to toe when I get out of the shower. My hands, however, can suffer from too much handwashing and dish de…

@Abdullah you really do ask the best questions! I have wondered this very same thing for quite some time. I found a lot of interesting articles and publications on TEWL but nothing that specifically answers your question. However I did find a publi…

@DrJekyll thanks 😊 it's just so nice to have a place that I can go to and ask questions and research topics and know that there is always knowledgeable, highly intelligent people that are so willing to take time out of their busy schedule to help me…

(Quote) If you're only making small batches for yourself, I honestly wouldn't worry about using a chelator but that is just my opinion. If you're making small batches to sell to the public, a chelator is appropriate. Also, the ingredients t…
