@beardlygentelmen actually i worked on such product so as @will said beewax in oil product will give more hold to product.
-
@Will what i’am sure that there is diffrence in the hlb value may also there is diffrence in fusion temperature.
-
@David08848 i meant that you should first of all select the adequat fatty acids and oils i think that with only coconut fatty acids and stearic acid with adequat level and using 7% NaOh , 93% Koh with superfat between 5 % and 10% you can have good product.
-
@David08848 i think you should improve the level of oils and fatty acids to have bettter product.
-
@Eruio you must ask your supplier if the SLES 27% active or 70% .
-
@david08848 you are welcome for thickness it can be from other ingredients as high level of glycerin of using no adequat level of oils what i’am sure that you can with 10% superfat have lovely shave cream .
-
@David08848 about shaving cream i will go with superfat between 5% and 10% it can give good resultat having soft shaving cream , about Vanishing cream i think whatever the superfat soap will not a good solution.
-
@David08848 what is the product?
-
you are welcome @noorahfm
-
@ngarayeva001 you meant you just use carbomer or using emulsifiers by any special effort ☺?
-
@Skinjunkey i guess for w/o lecithin provide adequat hlb i think that the level of use should be higher 8% or more , as it has low hlb it must be in oil phase adequat temperature with adequat mixing will almost give better resultats .(should know that % given is % of emulsifier so i guess that liquid lecithin is not pure so you should know the concentration to know the right % of use)
@coastallabs i think that gum can help for increasing viscosity. -
@ngarayeva001 actually working on hair cream i find that formulation intersting so before developping work i want to understand formulation in this one just dimethicone i’am not sure how it is stabilised i have idea that Dimethicone is soluble in many ester that’s why my doubts go for myristyl mysristarate . anyway thanks for your reply you are always helpful ☺.
-
@Gunther actually it can be a good solution but i want to understand such formulation i guess that it works cause i found it in cosmetic formulation book and such formulation will be better for cost’s side.
-
@David08848 actually yes texture is creamy and i guess that is good for shaving cream.
-
@David08848 i make formulation with 7% NaOh and 93% Koh and it gives lovely texture.
-
@Perry
for that formulation
Petrolatum: 40%
Paraffin liquid : 40%
Beewax: 20 %
what is the minimum level of castor oil seems good and needed to give high shine for hair? -
Thanks @perry actually i was not sure about it but i trust on you.
-
@chemist77 i take a look for the reference actually it is carbomer 934.
-
@Dirtnap1 actually it is just dimethicone.
-
@Chemist77 do you think that carbomer can alone stabilise 2% of dimethicone ?
-
@ngarayeva001 actually yes the emulsifiers in that product are glyceryl stearate and triethanolstearate ( reaction of triethanolamine with stearic acid , carbomer needs just 0,75 % of TEA or less) even the book says that it is o/w emulsion so glyceryl stearate can not alone provide o/w emulsion )
so TEA is used as emulsifier with stearic acid i make the calculation of required hlb and hlb of emulsifiers and i found two near values . -
@Gunther according to my experience even in low level stearic acid genearally give waxy and flacking effect wich is not the case of fatty alcohol.
-
@rodb1958 i have some sucess suspending oxides using vegetable oil , shea butter , beewax if you are interested to try it.
-
Thanks a lot @Perry actually i use ingredients supplied by cosmetic ingredient suppliers ☺.
-
@noorahfm you must work for that just to help you LABSA can be good in 2 % .
