these people do not have better list. Also I have seen this product labeled differently and I am suspecting its a pre-made cream just with a different label from a mass-producer.

I’m making all few different products but trying to start on hand creams and liquid foundations now. This thread was originally based on blending materials for pressed foundations.

ok, so here is the deal. We got a hand cream (purchased) and I have been reading the ingredients and thinking the same thing - no way without an emulsifier. At this point I would say I’m about 80% sure their label is complete fabrication.
How can you list honey as the first ingredient and aloe gel as the second and have a pure white very light cream?Thank you all for the help. Not sure what to do now, if anything.

I looked at that IKA drive. Too much for the tubes but would work great. I have a homogenizing mixer but I’m not sure I can use dry material with the mixing blades.
Bob, I’m not doing color in these formulations. I like to make the product and test physical characteristics until I like it and then scale updo colors.
In my 10 years as an R&D formulation chemist my test runs ran from the 10’s of lbs to the 1000’s. Fortunately that wasn’t my money. Even a successful test costs $$
This is my first time working with cosmetics. I get the methodology but I find I am re-inventing the wheel quite often. Every other field I started with a mentor, quite grateful for this site!

wow, just saw this. Talk about not responding
all valid ideas. I’m super cheap and like to make trials on the scale of 1-10 grams. I hate waste. Would this one work on that scale? It seems to me the solids would just end up caked on the bootom:
realistically I’m dreaming of this:

Thanks we will be checking their prices.

would it be out of line to ask about the costs of these two mixers. I just dropped a large chunk of my startup money on a homogenizing mixer that is strictly lab scale. I am looking for a small powder mixer in that vein but 2 liters is the smallest I can find. During research I’m trying to do VERY small scale as the raw materials get used quick. Once I’m targeting in a formula I will scale up but for now the mortar / pestle route is just not getting the colorations mixed in well enough.
