Graillotion said:Abdullah said:@Graillotion that is very good.
Can you share a photo of your cream that how ot looksLooks like this….and I think a blue container enhances the effect.
But I dispense from a clear plastic bag…into jars…and it is a nice light blue in the bag.
Thanks

@chemicalmatt what does peg-6 and peg-8 do?

Polyglyceryl 10 Caprylate is also a good one

Graillotion said:100% NOT pure essential oil.
What was it advertised as? When I see the words ….lavender essential oils….plural….leads me to believe this is promoted as some mix…with some EO’s in it.
Looks like a liter? How much did that cost you? In the US…a liter like that, from a top notch seller would cost about US $90.
This was around $15/kg.
We regularly purchase from India at around $25/kg. Very satisfying quality.
I haven’t compared it to the one from US. -
@Graillotion do they add their color to final product too if used @ ≤0.5% noticably?
-
First of all, have you used this product? Did you like it?
Use if for about a month and see if it can clean your hair enough.Second, you cant thicken this much decyl Glucoside and glycerin.
-
For fungi you can use 0.05% Piroctone Olamine.
Can be solubilized in phenoxyethanol.

@jamesmiju it as emulsion as @Bill_Toge said.
I did asked them how they are producing it. At first they said it is a secret and didn’t want to tell, but when finally they said this much that at finall stage when essential oil and hydrosol are separated we do a trick and can’t tell the details of it because it is our business secret. When i asked them what is the benefit of it? they said it reduces the cost of essential oil.
It also combines easily with water.

In addition to what @ozgirl asked,
What mixer do you use?
What are the size of your samll and large batch?
What is the method? Phase A, B, C then mix or everything in one phase?
For how long do you mix small and large batch? -
@PhilGeis i think it is good.
I make shampoo in 200kg tank each time.
I wash the tank properly after emptying the tank and before using it again.
When not in use, the tank is in the same room with raw materials, completely dry. During use we shift it to another room.
All other equipments are cleaned, used and stored like this.
I haven’t used alcohol to clean the tank or other equipments yet. -
@PhilGeis thanks
What do you mean by “What is your making risk”? -
@PhilGeis it is
SLS/SLES/CAPB/APG @3/7/2/2 active surfactants.
Cationic guar 0.2%
Amodimethicone emulsion 2.5%(0.75% silicone)
Guar gum 0.1%
EO 0.5%
Citric acid
Water
pH 5.1The bottle is HDPE but i want to change to PET to reduce the cost.
with flip top cap.
Sizes 200ml and 500ml. -
PhilGeis said:Caprylhydroxamic acid is not that good as a chelator in preservative context.
Yeah but if if he want at least some chelating agent in cationic system this is the way ????
-
I don’t like too much butter. 1% may be enough. Coconut oil is good. I would add some petrolatum or dimethicone to it.
For viscosity these emulsifiers are better. -
For me only 6% shea butter is more than what i want on my skin. How do you guys like such high amount of oil face?
-
@Paprik you can use caprylhydroxamic acid with cationics if you want.
By the way, what not use chelating agent with w/o?
-
As @Paprik said you need anti fungal. Also you can reduce the amount of dmdm by half.
Your oil phase is small so the viscosity will not be high woth these emulsifiers.
-
@Microformulation yeah more effective i mean.
