@MarkBroussard i am looking for something eatable that can be used in lotion too. MCT is more expensive than Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. So i want to know if there is a real difference or just difference in names to sell MCT for more money. 

Both have triglycerides in second part of there name. Caprylic/Capric is also Medium Chain. So what else is in one or isn’t in another that makes these two different? 

[Abdullah]

@Pharma can we call caprylic/capric triglyceride an MCT oil?

Is caprylic/capric triglyceride eatable? 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks

[Abdullah]

@singhc10 that is interesting. I thought ALS/ALES would be milder than SLS/SLES.

Is ALS/ALES theoretically harsher than SLS/SLES or just in your experience? 

[Abdullah]

@Microformulation thanks a lot

[Abdullah]

Don’t use EDTA with cationics

“Hyaluronic acid is the best and strongest moisturizing ingredient” this ingredient costed me a lot of money and didn’t do anything beneficial or noticable.
I have eczema and in winter i strongly need to use a potent moisture or a corticosteroid drug for it. The only moisturizer that helped me was petrolatum based lotion with %20 Glycerin. It is not aesthetically pleasant but it workes and you can feel the moisturizing benefits from first use.

@singhc10 thanks a lot 
Appreciated

Can you tell me at what percentage maximum did you use these surfactants in stainless steel and how much contact time maximum? 

[Abdullah]

@singhc10 thanks a lot

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeist thanks

At what ratio methyl to propyl? 

[Abdullah]

@klangridge thanks 
Hope you are fine.

I have purchased Amodimethicone emulsion and will receive it soon. 

From PQ10 jr400 and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, which one helps the deposition of Amodimethicone better? 
And at how much use level minimum? 

[Abdullah]

Remove Glucoside and dea

The drying effect will be solved

[Abdullah]

@singhc10 thanks 
For dust, which one is better?
SLS and ALS or SLES ald ALES or AOS?

Isn’t oil and sebum in same category? If not then what type of oils do non-ionics remove well? 

[Abdullah]

Use more glutamate instead of Glucoside
Remove Glucoside, Glycerin, butter and oil 
Reduce caprylhydroxamic acid to %0.1 or %0.15

Xanthan gum hydrates instantly

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis got it.
Wht Paraben do you recommend is Lotion and cream in combination with phenoxyethanol and hydroxyacetophenone? 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis may i ask why you are not offering that it will be effective?

Also what ratio of phenoxyethanol and methylparaben do you recommend? 

[Abdullah]

What viscosity dimethicone are you using? 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks 
Unfortunately this blend isn’t available here. I have phenoxyethanol in stock as the MOQ of each Paraben is 25kg i can only afford to purchase one of them right now to use with phenoxyethanol. 

So any suggestion about which one to purchase! 

[Abdullah]

@Henry no

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis i will take this in mind.
Thanks

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis thanks for the information.

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis 
Have you PET generated data for its preservation effect? no. Isn’t available in our country or at least i don’t know where to do it.
Currently In order to be sure about effectiveness of my preservative system i copy popular broad spectrum blends after I find examples of this blend used in the same product that i want to use it and shows its efficacy (in this case shampoo) and then use it at maximum allowance level.

Caprylhydroxamic acid+ Glyceryl Caprylate was a copy from Inolex but when you said it is not strong enough specially in Shampoo i changed it to this one.

It is very easily soluble in surfactant. I mix it with CAPB and then add it to water. Cold process and very easily soluble.

This is the nipaquard po5 composition. 
Phenoxyethanol  %0.95
Piroctone Olamine  %0.05

And according to Clariant examples in Shampoo It kills all bacteria is 2 days and fungi in 14 days. This is at %0.5 of this preservative is shampoo formula that even doesn’t have chelating agent. 

I don’t know where did i read that “it helps cure something” does mean “it cures something” so it is not a drug claim. 
Maybe i have misunderstood. 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis to make my self understand clearly. Isn’t Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus brasiliensis the same? 
Quick Google search said they are the same. 

[Abdullah]

@PhilGeis currently i am using it only in Shampoo for preservation purpose at %0.04 with %0.8 phenoxyethanol. I use this because it is less expensive and more strong than what i previously used( %0.1 caprylhydroxamic acid+ %1 Glyceryl Caprylate). I don’t claim or expect it to help dandruff. I don’t even think that at such small quantity in a rinse off product it would help with dandruff. But i have plan for a leave on Product with small quantity of this ingredient after making completely sure that it can really help with dandruff in ≤%0.1 .

If i claim “helps with dandruff”, does it make a cosmetic Product a drug?
