    @DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ
    Wowzers!

    If I was using this in as a personal lubricant could I use either at minimum 30% in final product?  I am very interested in the hyaluronic acid and its use on mucosa tissue.

    I wanted as a humectant and to give similar slip feel to a lotion, cream and personal lube product.

    I am making a similar lip balm but I am trying to make it tingling.  I used cinnamon LEAF Oil (not Bark Oil). And the tingling starts slow and doesnt last. I put 2% in and it still last very long… any suggestions?

    Next time you are in town you should climb to the Hollywood sign with me and the gang… its only  6.5-miles trail at 1050 elevation.  It did it this past weekend.  I am thankful that I survived!

    “Please look for it, I again suggest to go Ceteareth-20 way @30%. Use a combination of glycerol and propylene glycol @7% & 8% respectively. Heat ceteareth-20 separately and process st 85-90C. Add Polysorbate 20 @2%

    I am assuming you are speaking of this statement made earlier.  I will do it today.  One thing I do also is stop the mixing around 70C so the bubbles will dissapate .  Could this be causing the separation?

    I am still having a little issue with separation with I stop mixing at 70°C. I am starting this at 90°C I am using Cetereath-20 at @20% so it would be so hard to scoop.  I noticed that I am getting 2 layers a larger white layer and then a Yellowish layer that may be a little lump (PVP k-90). I am not using Poly-20  but Peg-7 glyeryl Cocate and Peg 40-HCO.  I am thinking about change the PVP K-90 to styleze cc-10.  What do you think?

    I am having a similar problem with the separation or settling.  I haven’t figured it out yet.  I am not using beeswax at all.

    What about thermodynamics or fluid dynamics, mathematics… Think about all of formulation from concept to packaging.
