AT pH 5 Better to use ammonium LES for long term stability:otherwise looks ok.
-
Why don’t you just use sles-1? What other SAA are you using?
-
Anionics will complex with cationics and leave a residue:cationics like CTAC are poor cleaners due to hydrophobic interaction.Use a hydro alcoholic solution of a nonionic like NP 9.

Parabens can be inactivated by polysorbates via micelle binding.
-
Don’t forget a preservative:suggest Germaben 11at 1% wt/wt.
-
Should be,so make it and test by whatever means you use.
-
It depends on how you combine the actives (wt/wt%) of each but 15-20% should be sufficient:P&G used to market Prell Concentrate in a tube which had >30% active SAA (they still may, but haven’t looked recently).Main concern with high SAA is ocular irritation.
-
Perfect for use after the peel perhaps at night (nighttime moisturizer)!

MemberNovember 8, 2017 at 8:26 pm in reply to: how can i seperate the n-hekzane and smelling liquid paraffine?I wouldn’t use it particularly in a baby/Lotion as even if you do deodorize it by re-fluxing with activated carbon and vacuum filtration you are likely to have allergenic compounds remaining so risk/benefit favors risk.I would find another supplier.

MemberNovember 2, 2017 at 11:46 pm in reply to: Amy limit to how much Retinol can be used?If your customer will accept 3 percent of retinol complex,Cavamax W 8 is 8 percent of active retinol in cyclodextrin. Sooo 3 percent of the complex provides 0.24 percent which is an effective level.We have used the product but did not do hydrolytic stability which is a concern but CD complex should help.
