2. not important

3. As emulsifier when used with another emulsifier

4. First high speed then slow speed

5. Yes phenoxy reduces viscosity

[Abdullah]

Yes it would work.

Start from 1% each and change according to your desire.

[Abdullah]

Depends that what is already in your formula and how much is it.

I also like GHPTC

[Abdullah]

If it is prettier then yes it would sell more. But usually it would cost more too

[Abdullah]

[Abdullah]

No one would steal or copy your formula. People that can advise you to correct your formula can make better formula than you too.

Also your formula has nothing to make it spacial or any better than the most basic bar. So don’t worry about someone copying it.

Please write the ingredients name properly if want us to be able to advise you properly.

[Abdullah]

Reducing BTMS by 2% and adding 2% stearyl alcohol will increase viscosity a lot

[Abdullah]

0.5% 1,2 hexanediol+ 0.5% caprylyl glycol + 0.3% sodium benzoate+ 0.1% EDTA

[Abdullah]

What is pH?

What is your preservative?

[Abdullah]

4. At first high speed, time depends on batch size. Sample size 1-2 minutes. Then slow mix. No need high shear mix

[Abdullah]

Then add some FO

[Abdullah]

Thanks

[Abdullah]

@chemicalmatt hello

Thanks of the advice

Eid Mubarak to you too

[Abdullah]

Thanks

[Abdullah]

Yes

[Abdullah]

If you are using BTMS 25, just use it the way it is. If you want more viscosity then increase BTMS quantity.

[Abdullah]

Don’t add extra fatty alcohol to it and yes it would be stable

[Abdullah]

Use some sodium benzoate and reduce pH.

[Abdullah]

Thanks a lot

[Abdullah]

Thanks

Should we also not dilute Kathon ICP II with water the same as Kathon ICP before adding to finall product or it is stable for this?

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis ”(looking only to mold contamination risk)” is this only in cleansing products or for emulsions and serums too in a pump package?

[Abdullah]

The one in the glass which is yellowish is the one i currently use and i import it from another country. According to their COA(photo attached) it has Magnesium nitrate& Magnesium Chloride.

The one in the bottle is available locally recently. It COA is not available and local supplier also don’t know that details.(local suppliers here don’t know much technical details or COA of any item they sell).

Is it possible that CMI MI 1.5% has one color and 14% has another color?

[Abdullah]

Then use fragrance oils

[Abdullah]

Yes, that liquid SLS precipitated too after 2nd day but unlike SLS powder solution, when i mixed it again, that precipitation dissolved in solution easily and it became cloudy again and when i added EDTA to it, it became clear.

With SLS powder solution the precipitation didn’t mix again and was attached to glass and spoon. Although it was removable by rubbing with hand.
