    Hi there,

    I’m assuming it’s the same serum you described in your other post. So you used/want to use xanthan gum+glycerin in an oil? Do you want to replicate a certain product? I’m asking because it’s not clear why would someone add water soluble peptides and xanthan gum and glycerin in an oil mixture.

    Hi, no intention to confuse you. I said a minimum pH of 4.5 and I didn’t state the maximum (8). So no worries about pH???? Best of luck with your new experiment.

    Hi, given your formula and assuming that your pH is minimum 4.5 (Hallstar guidance), it looks like the issue could be the process. I can only say that heating at 75C, adding the hyaluronic acid in the cool down, and following the advice given in the thread regarding the mixing process, should give you the right result. Also, the emulsion might not look too thick right after making it (so don’t try to achieve thickness by overmixing), but it will reach it’s final consistency in aprox. 48 hours.

    Hi, you say you want to know “the mixing time and speed to prepare, for example, a cream”. I don’t own the mixing equipment you have, but: you would increase your chances to an answer if you would reffer to a specific formulation of the said cream and the quantity you’d want to make. Different emulsifiers require different times and speeds as do different quantities. Other ingredients present in your product can influence the answer too. Regarding the rpm of your equipment, the answer should be out there, in the World Wide Web????

    Hello, “fresh” member here???? I’ve seen up-close two very different cases: a friend’s daughter whose straight hair went “Shirley Temple” when she was about 12-13y, and another friend, whose almost “afro” hair went straight in the process of giving birth (the doctors blamed the stress factor). So yeah, Mother Nature is something…

    It is not wrong, it is a nonsensical action: you need water as a solvent for water soluble ingredients.

    You could sign-up for the beginner course offered here, to get some knowledge on ingredients and emulsion making.

    Check the ingredients on the eyelash serums with peptides on the market: water is the first ingredient on the list.
