Chelating agents (i.e., Na4EDTA) remove the cations and increase the permeability of the outer membrane to large hydrophobic molecules, antibiotics and preservatives. This increase in antimicrobial activity produced by a chelating agent is known as permeabilization synergy and is the reason chelating agents are recommended for use with preservatives.

ngarayeva001 said:You don’t have enough waxes for a paste. I think you should up it to at least 10%.
this made a brick hahaha!! i was doing better with the lower wax but ill update once I figured out the drying by adding more silica!

gotta stick to the ingredients.

okay awesome information to know thank you!

Does Grapeseed dry differently? Thanks!

ozgirl said:You seem to be using way to much sorbic acid and benzyl alcohol/dha.Your Xyliance emulsifer has a low electrolyte tolerance and many of your raw materials are considered electrolytes (e.g. aloe vera, citric acid etc) so try leaving these out or change to a different emulsifier.
this is probably the route to go down, I didn’t think about electrolyte tolerances.

Are you adding OIL in Water? or vice versa? You might want to include a low HLB emulsifier at 2%.
Possibly take a look at your phase C and see if anything there can be messing with your emulsion e.g. the acids.
Try just making Phase A and Phase B without the Phase C and see if that still falls about.
Try a knockout experiment.

What is your process? Are you heating both phases up to 75C then adding the Oil into Water at high sheer?

@JonahRay i hope thats what it is haha! I’m doing a knockout right now to see if it might be the fragrance/preservative

@AuroraBorealis I know! Here is the benchmark

The product I’m developing can’t have coconut and must have that ‘gel’ like rheology. So it can be scooped out of the small pod easily and it’s not like a balm.

Are you talking about the ISOLATE or the Distillate? The Isolate is a white to off white powder and the distillate is the amber/straw color. Make sure you the COA’s and such, I am also in CBD development and haven’t seen color change yet in my products.

Solvay has some nice materials that can incorporate high amounts of oils in shampoos. If you get on ULprospector and check out Solvay’s line of surfactants you’ll find some cool ideas.

@caro let us know how it goes
-
let them sit at room temp while they cool. if you flash freeze them you get a different crystal formation. also i would up the waxes a little bit and see how well that helps. but first start cooling at room temp, and if that doesn’t help start messing with the wax ratios. write everything that you are doing down so you know what works and what doesn’t

@Chemistrygirl I am referring to ‘Baked cosmetics’. Where do I research this? Google is coming up dry. Thank you
-
Yeah thanks!!! I definitely know about that raw material from seppic… just trying to find it straight up…. i have a sample coming from seppic though!!

I raised my CC Triglyceride to 65% and ascorbyl palmitate was at 0.10%…..heated them together to ~90-95C…. and bam clear! haha only issue is that I dont think 0.10% in a 100ml total volume formula is effective.

@Perry @ngarayeva001 @MarkBroussard
Thank you for your feedback and talking through this with me, this makes more sense now knowing that each batch and container size need to be taken into account. Thank you!
