Whatever works best for you. I am far too particular to rely on anyone else to run my numbers.
.so ..now I have another one ..
“recipe to formula calculator”
That makes zero sense…but if it works…lol…might work in the meta data taggie thingie madoodies or whatever the heck they are. Thanks for the suggestion. -
Google is a wonder, isn’t it?
-
There is…but you want one to work in reverse for you by the sounds of it…You have the formula but you haven’t worked the %,,,,,
Make one for you ….but I want http://shop.stonecottagesoapworks.com/Spiced-Myrrh-Premium-Shaving-Cream.html
…the scent….250 mls to start…life time deal for both…lol…as am not a greedy person.,
I don’t want the secret of how you made it….just the sniffly stuff for personal use..when I run low….you resupply…
….to sweeten the deal…can add a cost calculator to that for you…but…what will you offer me?
Deal?

*wry grin*
It is ludicrous. Not that the great FDA makes much more in the way of sense either. -
Trehalose has an amazing marketing story from Selaginella (sometimes called the resurrection plant) drying out and coming back to life.
lol….yes….but it is used in cryogenics…so…just a bit of a stretch?I’ll go with the Japanese crew on this one…Works as a Spray ON…not a wash…it goes down the drain… -
I think it would make a nice addition to a natural based line of cosmetics as the one you are developing. And….promoted as a PRE Gym work out thing as well..lol…or post for those that continue to sweat after exertion.
It is quite effective.;
A larger bottle for at home. And a one ounce mister to throw in the gym gear bag.Might be able to promote it at your local gym. That sort of thing. -
Mexico, hot and humid depending where you are….might be a good place for Odor Control Body Mists. Go wild with the plethora of EOs for scent. May even develop a mosquito repellent Odor Control Body Mist, and get lucky like Avon did with their preservative system.
Add Seppic’s latest mix of Cu gluconate, Zn gluconate and Magnesium aspartate for a delightful color. Or mix that yourself for less and do some sniff tests. Make the EtOH content over 20% and call it preservative free. -
Some of the OTC actives can dwarf the cost of many if not all Cosmetic Raw materials.
This^^ -
It has been showing up in a lot of high end cosmetics over the last couple years. It has not caused me any problems in any lotions or serums. Very easy to work with. No negatives that I can see there in using it. Easy to source as it is quite common. Unless “name” change wonders are at work, should be able to find it.
If you ever make body mists or that sort of thing, it works surprisingly well.SUPPRESSIVE EFFECT OF TREHALOSE ON HUMAN BODY ODOR
In this application, we examined the suppressive effect of trehalose on human body odor. The typical
odor of a senior layer (odor from seniors) increases with age, especially 55 years or older. This odor
contains unsaturated aldehydes such as 2-nonenal and 2-octenal. These aldehydes are produced by the
degradation of unsaturated fatty acid (palmitoleic acid) in aged people’s skin. The subjects (55 years orolder) were selected from our company. After a shower, their body was sprayed with a 2 % trehalose
solution. They put on new underwear after the spray. Twenty hours later, the unsaturated aldehydes were
sampled from the used underwear shown in this system using DNPH-column. The trapped aldehydes
were eluted from this column and were analyzed by gas chromatography. The results showed a decrease
of about 70 % in odor from seniors due to the action of trehalose (Fig. 7). This result indicates that trehalose
has a suppressive effect on the formation of the odor released by the seniors’ bodies. The same
results came out with the oxidation of fatty acid. Therefore, the application of trehalose for cosmetic
fields is expected.I get the impression the guys got together as a chuckle and joke to see what would happen….but then couldn’t resist to not write it up.at concentrations exceeding 100–300 μM the potential damage induced by the oxidant properties of AA6P probably outweighs the benefits of its antioxidant potentialI avoid AP completely. -
Weird….post not showing…
Trehalose. May solve the problem. -

The immune system does not distinguish between “natural” chemicals and synthetic chemicals.
Precisely. Aromatherapists will get a lovely boon when some research gets published shortly. However, despite the obvious effect, there will always be someone that will have a negative reaction to a component.The most interesting aspect of it, was the effect on diabetes patients though. The potential for mimicry of components that are known, but not the mechanism of action. -
:ar! can’t argue with that logic. At the same time, it suggests the corollary. That which is not negative ( were that the case, we’d be long extinct), may be harnessed to better effect.

How about a different marketing concept?
It REEKS and it WORKS...of course, you have to solve the problem on the “works” aspect first.Like : Buckley’s cough syrup slogan is: “It tastes awful and it works”. -
lol 8-}

The La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water is a truly active dermatological ingredient.
Rib cage is exploding.That is some seriously “thermal” marketing.

Those are valid IUPAC names for components that occur naturally in Lavender not artifacts of pesticides. Note that everything is made of Chemicals.@Mark , Thank you.“Organic” and what not is sometimes worse for what is left behind, and “organic” is more often than not a total joke of a term.

Canine skin is more alkaline than human skin, with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.2 (5,6). We have observed even higher cutaneous pH levels on the dorsal thoracolumbar area of dogs, ranging from 6.4 to 9.1 (7). In a recent report, the mean pH of canine flank skin was 7.48 (8). Canine skin may be more alkaline than previously reported — a discrepancy which could be attributed in part to differences in the methods of pH measurement; sex, breed, coat color, anatomic site, general skin physiology, environmental climate, or geographical location (8). Additionally, an increase in cutaneous alkalinity was demonstrated in canine seborrheic dermatitis (5). The relative alkalinity of canine skin may be partly responsible for a higher predisposition to cutaneous infections in the dog compared to other species, such as cats or humans.

If you are an animal with an exquisite capacity to smell at ppm level …adding essential oils is a form of torture.
And the pH requirements are not the same as a human. This was answered a couple years ago…is the search not working, or was that lost in the crash? -
The chemical composition of lavender essential oil, which
differed considerably with regard to the seasons of the
year in Table 1 and Figure 1, is presented. A total of 47
compounds representing 98.4 - 99.7% of the oils were
identified. 1,5-Dimethyl-1-vinyl-4-hexenylbutyrate was the
main constituent of essential oil (43.73%), followed by
1,3,7-Octatriene, 3,7-dimethyl- (25.10%), Eucalyptol
(7.32%), and Camphor (3.79%). Our results are in a good
agreement to those of Shellie et al. (2002). The observed
differences in the constituents of lavender essential oil
across provinces may be due to different environmental
and genetic factors, different chemotypes and the
nutritional status of the plants.And I am going to stop there….“natural” vs…what? Chemicals? -
Bob!….have you not been inundated by the latest and greatest? :^o

This is a pet peeve of mine. Use rinse-off surfactant products to cleanse. Period. Trying to get them to moisturize only makes for frustration and bad products.
If you need a moisturizer, make a leave-on moisturizer - it’s not hard to make a good one.This^^^..but glycerin is nice and cheap. -
In the interest of safety, agree with Mark.
