@ngarayeva001.  I am here to learn and connect with others who have more experience in cosmetics chemistry formulating that I do but as    I am very new to cosmetic formulating and while I might have different perspective than others, do you think it helps me to learn or form partnerships when people are trying to shame me?  I am willing to pay for formulation, advice, etc and have even stated it. I have actually formed 3 new relationships with chemists due to this thread who are working with me to create a new formula based on my requests. If you have any other resources that you’d like to share with me that would help me become a better cosmetic formulator I am open to your suggestions.

thank you @Pharma that was very helpful. I found the threads, I’ll enjoy reading through those.  thanks for all the tips too!

thank you @Graillotion what sites are you referring to?  As far a chemists not being able to formulate to EWG standards how do products exist that are certified by them?

@Pharma thank you for this. I don’t see any threads about cold creams in here. Can you provide a link?  

As far a borax what do you think would be better?

thanks @Microformulation for this info.  EWG is very important to me and my customers so it doesn’t seem like working together is a good fit.  I am open if any other chemists would like to collaborate on this project.  thanks!

thanks for this @EVchem the variations are smell but also some are giving a tingly/burning sensation. Could be the citric acid in them?
