@chemicalmatt Bigger with SLS and richer with SLES or bigger with SLES and richer with SLS?

[Abdullah]

@Quimico thanks
 what is stpp doing and what should be the final pH? 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks. 

Any idea why this formula doesn’t clean oil soil very well from clothes? 

[Abdullah]

What do you mean by weird, bouncy, cottage cheese type texture? Can you show a picture

Also as @Microformulationsaid, chelating agent is very important, especially with this preservative and this pH.
 Ask your client what they want. If they want you to just mix some specific ingredients and don’t care about the result then you should not care too. Just mix whatever they want and give them. 
If they want a safe and stable product then tell then chelating agent is necessary. If they don’t like one then use another one

For instability, if oil is separating then increase or change your emulsifier. If water separating then increase the viscosity of water phase.

@PhilGeis pH is 11.
Currently it is for own use because it doesn’t have good enough quality to sell it????.

Can i ask why cant sell it in US? 

[Abdullah]

@Pharma thanks a lot for comments and link. 

Just one more question ????

Does salt (sodium chloride or ammonium chloride) increase the micelle size or decrease it? 

[Abdullah]

@Pharma thanks ???? 
Some more questions.

1. In a flat jar a solution would have more water/air interface than the same amount in a thin bottle. Does it mean they need different amount for surfactant to saturate the water/air interface and so different CMC?

2. Why CMC is utterly useless in most everyday situations, especially in complex surfactant blends?

3. Does added salt effect micelle size or the number of molecules within a micelle? If yes how and what it does?

4. What factors (adding or removing some ingredients or special process) effect micelle size and the number of molecules within a micelle?

[Abdullah]

Do you know why are you using these ingredients and how much should each of them be used?

[Abdullah]

Can you list all the ingredients with percentage!

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks

[Abdullah]

@ngarayeva001 do you apply anything else on top of exfoliant? 

[Abdullah]

@chemicalmatt thanks 

So does it means if i apply a moisturizer instantly after lactic acid exfoliant it will reduce the effectiveness of exfoliant because it will increase the pH? 

[Abdullah]

@singhc10 i thought Glucoside hydrolysis in pH below 5 but this product has pH 3-4. What am i messing? 

[Abdullah]

@Perry what was the product, percentage of phenoxyethanol and percentage of people reacting?

And what alternative did you find for phenoxyethanol? 

[Abdullah]

@Emotelle yes it was emulsion. 

Why do i need to transfer EO from aluminum jar to glass bottle? 

[Abdullah]

If you add 0.01% Cholecalciferol to an emulsion and apply 2g of that emulsion everyday and your skin absorbed 100% of vitamin D3 from it, you get 8000 IU vitamin D from that emulsion per day. ????

Now you calculate the rest of that. 

[Abdullah]

@zetein why was it banned?
It is safe to be eaten then why it may not be safe to touch the skin? 

[Abdullah]

@vitalys thanks a lot

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks

[Abdullah]

@Perry Thanks.
 Looks like AHA is doing it’s job immediately. 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis what is PPE? 

[Abdullah]

If i apply a moisturizer to skin after applying lactic acid exfoliant, doesn’t it increase the pH and reduce the effectiveness of of exfoliator?

[Abdullah]

Does it do it in 

Seconds

Minutes

Or hours?
