At 3% Glycerin can also feel sticky. I would try reducing this first before you buy any new raw materials.

What type of antiperspirant are you making? Solid/ stick, roll on / emulsion, paste, spray? The manufacturing process will depend on what you are making. We make a roll on antiperspirant (emulsion type) with Aluminium Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex g…

Try using Lamesoft PO65 from BASF. It is glyceryl oleate blended with coco glucoside. It is cold processable. https://carecreations.basf.us/products/lamesoft-po-65

You could also look at Cosmedia Ultragel 300 (Polyquaternium 37) as this was recommended to me for thickening cationic systems. It was too costly for my project but might work for you.

I remember reading somewhere that the issue is that young children already have potentially high salicylate exposure due to teething gels and thus adding an extra exposure may make it unsafe. The European Cosmetics regulations are based on science…

In Europe Salicylic acid is prohibited for children under 3 years of age. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1584101281177&uri=CELEX:32019R1966R(02)

:D Wheat proteins are great for the skin!

I would double check with your supplier.Are they a reseller or the manufacturer. The information above comes directly from the manufacturer. You need a mildly alkaline pH to keep the Potassium Stearate (the emulsifying part of glyceryl stearate SE…

Your pH is too low for the Glyceryl Stearate SE emulsifier. Your pH needs to be between 6.8 to 8.2. https://www.ulprospector.com/en/asia/PersonalCare/Detail/1479/52287/TEGIN-Pellets-MB

Here is a good starting point for formulating Liquid Dish Wash products. https://www.happi.com/issues/2011-03/view_features/formulating-manual-dishwash-detergents/
-
Is this formula for hand washing dishes in a sink or is it meant to be used in a dishwashing machine (dishwasher)? In any case it is not suitable for either application.
-
@Squinny You can purchase denatured alcohol from New Directions Australia.

@geekchic We use a liquid (paste) version (Hi Foam 750) from ChemRez (Phillipines). We prefer this as it does not need heating. I'm not sure where you are located but Colonial Chemical in the USA sells a flake version of Cocamide MEA which I think…
-
I haven't worked with Blue Tansy but it is possible that it is something in your emulsion turning yellow (oxidising). Have you tried a sample without the Blue Tansy added? What else is in your emulsion? Adding an antioxidant is a great starting poi…
-
Personally I would try changing to cocamide MEA (or using additional CAPB) as it is the Diethanolamine (DEA) content that is the issue with carcinogenicity. We swapped from Cocamide DEA to a liquid form of Cocamide MEA a few years ago without any …

It is 30% active. (Image)

I would love to be a minimalist but unfortunately the marketing team requires the fairy dust ingredients. Where possible I try to use fewer ingredients in the base formulas.
-
Trulux in Australia sells Montanov 82. They ship internationally but not sure if the price is workable for you.
-
Why would you replace low cost ingredients (Xanthan,HEC) that are known to stabilise the emulsion with a very high cost ingredient like HA? Or are you looking for a different sensorial profile? If you want to add HA for label appeal just add a sma…

Happy Birthday Perry!

@esthetician922 you will need to find an oil soluble calendula extract or change to a different oil soluble extract (or leave it out all together).
-
What is the base of the Calendula extract? Is it an oil soluble extract? Or has it been extracted into Glycerin, Water or Ethanol?
-
Yes but it might be easier for your customers to understand if you claim Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) free.

How much hair spray are they using in Los Angeles? :D :D :D Not sure how accurate the data is but it must also be noted that this study was published in 2018 so would not include the increased use of hand sanitisers in the last 2 years.

Great video. I loved her stitching the retinol back together at the very end :D

Some people are sensitive to potassium sorbate. It can cause redness, burning and flushing reactions.
-
Did you mean 999999-99-4? The CAS Number 999999-99-4 seems to be used for naturally occurring substances so it is definitely possible to have more than one naturally ocurring substance in a product blend.
-
Another thing to consider is that 100ml will take longer to use than 50ml so your preservative needs to be robust to ensure sure that your product is stable after opening. If it is a cream in a jar, fingers will be dipped in every use meaning there …

The Ecolab product does not contain an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. The glucoside surfactants often have a high pH (11-12) which could also be raising your overall pH and causing the precipitate. Try removing the glucoside and see if that fixes…
