    This is happening due to cationization effect which may arise due to PQ7. Try reducing your preservatives % as well. Either go with PP & MP together or Phenoxyethanol alone.

    By the way how do you dissolve PEG 150 and how much time does it take to completely homogenize?

    Yes it is because of air trapping in your solution. Remove GMS and keep mixing the solution slowly and gently untill you reach dense consistency. Add Alkali to saponify Fatty Acid.

    I am quite new here and lucky to be landed on this website. I am still confused if posting on timeline gets on forum or does it requires different way to start a question.
    - Android Application would be quite good
    - Interface like Quora or Reddit but this platform totally dedicated for chemist/PD/Formulation related
    - Can you Add “Request a Chemist” for any requested demonstration from a user. That he can make a video about the formulation and post it. Anyone may assist the query, it can paid or free and the demonstration can be public or private.
    - Networking like Podcast that you already have, but I guess its quite dedicated for administration. Like live audio/video discussion on any topic requested and people intent to attend or participate. Something Like a Clubhouse application.
    What else I can say I was looking for this channel desperately and I now I am here with a lot of questions and a lot of information. Hope we can have great influence on chemical society and positive impact on each of us with responsible formulations and environmental caring developments.

    HI Thanks for you reply.
    Glycerine warming is very short. For thickness PQ7 gives enough thickness, so the idea to add other thickeners was dropped. Eugenol is good hint do you think we can use clove tarpene instead?

    Yes regarding Rub Rub testing at some point it is absorbed. But I think I will reduce glycerine content and increase water content. Because the tackiness is high.

    Hi Thanks for your reply.
    Basically this product is not for US market and finished product will be sold as intimate massage product.
    Actually main functional with product is to achieve the decent arousal like cherry.

    PQ7 is for viscosity as well as to mimic it like natural dripping which other ingredients like HEC or Carbomer doesnot give rather that gives a gel like thickness.

    PQ7 is already solution based. Commercially products like astroglide are using different PQs in their ingredients you can also check their label.

    If these warming product requires alteration in recipe in case it has some solubility issues will opt for it because main idea is to develop something sensational and lovable

    Thanks for reply
    Only water content itself would need preservation.
    Glycerine warming is for very short moment some times it is felt and some times it is not felt.

    What Cherry lube does is it gives good pleasant warming effect plus a decent arousal.
    L arginine is something already in use but it will be in a minute quantity and is for blood flow.

    All ingredients are well soluble with the current content of water and functional products %
