Urea will cause drift.

Does this product feel good to you?

Thanks ! Will take note of that. The moisturizer has a very smooth feel due to the shea butter I put it so I really like it.

Interesting that you like the feel of Shea butter. I use it at 0.5% only because i have purchased 25kg of it and have to use it in some way. I will not purchase it again. 

I try NOW’s shea butter. It’s a bit different from regular shea butter. They bring about very smooth feel.

Abierose : I combine Olivem 1000 with Cetyl Alcohol. I thought Cetyl alcohol could help in stabilizing the emulsion a bit. I used to try Olivem 1000 with 25% oil phase ( all oils, no shea butter) and it worked just fine !. Since this time i used a lot of shea butter so I think I’m gonna switch it with other stronger emulsifier. Do you recommend any natural emulsifier that can handle 25% or more oil phase ? 
Also for the preservative, I’m not sure if it can handle that much hyrosol + powder so I’ll reduce them ! Thanks for noticing me !
I used citric acid as pH adjustor and it reduces the pH to around 4.8 to 5. Not a fixed number as the pH keeps drifting. I don’t know why pH keeps drifting though

Ketchito : Yeah I am gonna add them into oil phase to reduce the times of switching between blender to homigenizer. I was trying to make sure that all is blended well , that’s why I blend just a few ingredients first. Btw, do you think the Olivem 1000 is too weak to emulsifier such high % of oil phase ( shea butter is up to 10%). I have never used such high % of shea butter in emulsion so I’m not quite sure if part of the problem comes from the emulsifier.

Thanks

Abdullah : My batch size is 300 grams. I use this homogenizer :

Thanks Bill_Toge. Question : Should I limit the times of switching between homogenizer and blender ? Like do all the blending first and homogenizing later then I can limit the air trap problem ? And do you know if there is any way I can save this batch ? Thanks !

Hi Mike,

Are you guys specialized in natural cosmetics sector? As I mainly work with natural ingredients like candelila wax, honey powder, oatmeal protein etc.
And can you send me your price quote as well as shipping rate from Malaysia to US? Thanks !

Hi Gordof,
Sorry, I’m based in the US. Yeah it can be costly to ship them back to the US. May I know if your company help with formulating too ? Cause I want to seek advice in scaling up process as well as in color cosmetics.
Thanks a lot !
