Hi Everyone,
I had a laugh at some of these comments.

Whats in a alcoholic hand sanitiser? I dont see flammable on those labels? Do you think they just have a tiny but of alcohol in there to have the sanitising effect?

Thanks ozgirl I will try work out the flashpoint and also try to reduce the amount of ethanol in the formula.

Also thanks Gunther i agree that perfumes also have ethanol in them. Does anyone know how much %? Does their skin catch on fire and burn when they use a perfume spray? Or cologne?

Cheers

Hey 
Ok thanks very much Mark Broussard. I have seen one on the market that has Sodium Bicarb. Makes sense.
Cheers

Hi All,
Great thank very much for your advice.

Hey ozgirl

It will be much easier for a grade with the impurity removed. Searching for it now but will try the amphoacetates.

Thanks!

[cossci21]

Thanks very much Bill!

Hi Bill
Ok great thanks I didnt know that they were incompatible with quats! Thanks for that. I added them thinking they were stabilising the product.
Thanks again

[cossci21]

hmm ok thanks bill

Hi,

Ok thanks Bill_Toge yes thats what I was taught so in general manufacturers I know dont even bother reading the pH of w/o or adjusting pH….

[cossci21]

Could try Sodium Citrate to get around pH 6.2

Check out the Silsoft range by bausch and lomb they are dimethicone copolyols. Silicone plus a PEG. Work well and you dont need much in your formula for deposition onto the hair or skin

Thanks Belassi and Bobz chemist. I emailed the client back and havent had a response since. Sometimes its too hard to teach consumers that preservatives arent bad an actually can help from causing worse to happen. Shame! 

[cossci21]

Thanks for that. I am not sure why i was told not to use phenoxyethanoll then as a preservative.
cheers

hi we are doing the same in oz. Liquid glass can be very irritating for skin but it works at a high pH between 8 and 12!

[cossci21]

Hi Heather thanks i tried glycol stearate and its works a charm

[cossci21]

thanks billichemist

[cossci21]

Hi Chemist 77,

ok thanks I will try that. I had the pH much lower at 5.5 do will increase as well.

Excited!

[cossci21]

thanks bobzchemist hopefully it is worthwhile!

[cossci21]

Thanks everyone for the comments will give them a try

[cossci21]

Thanks perry and bobzchemist. Have used candelilla wax so far and it has helped however now  the customer thinks it is too shiny. Never ending fun!

[cossci21]

Thanks Galina

Hello
if you are based in Oz a supplier that provides small quantities is newdirections.

[cossci21]

Cetyl Betaine may work? That is usually in alcohol.
