MemberOctober 4, 2022 at 6:36 pm in reply to: Mixing hydrophilic + hydrophobic materials for topicalYou need a surfactant/s based on HLB of hydrophobic polyphenol? to blend into emulsion with water phase containing the soluble hydrophilic ingredientsPolysorbate 80 HLB with HLB of 15 may be too high.

MemberOctober 1, 2022 at 3:52 pm in reply to: Why is this niacinamide serum turning brown?This looks like Mallard reaction taking place over time between free glucose in AG and amine group in Tranexamic acid .Try a knockout to confirm.

MemberSeptember 28, 2022 at 3:44 pm in reply to: Cetrimonium Chloride in Shampoo FormulationNot normal to use quat in shampoo due to incompatible charge effects with anionics. Better to use a cationic polymer such as cationic guar if you can source it.
-
hydroxypropyltrimonnium guar is good for wet/dry comb reducing hair breakage and does not build up with repeated washings
-
Heat all surfactants to 60-70C and Peg 150.

Starches can also discolor depending upon the SAA used example particularly SCI maltodextrin is a safer binder alternative

MemberSeptember 13, 2022 at 4:29 pm in reply to: Removing colour from gels and oilsbest off having color removed from raw materials prior to formulation.Make sure color is not coming from reaction/discoloration in storage.Net/net what is the source of the problem?
-
increase stearic acid to 6-10% for bar firmness and after feel.You can also add free sodium isethionate 2-3wt %
-
claims will determine types/levels of surfactants:nonionics uch as Tweens very drying to hair and consumer perceptable.
-
Then it was very time consuming:had to get an ACS number first and show chemistry/prove structure for new raw material before submission to panel Good Luck
-
procetyl aws works at 2:1 ratio because of having both a hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties.
-
I have but about 25 years ago at 150 USD/HR. I would upgrade to todays standards and charge 225/HR
