thank you. I want the foam to be able to stand on its own for awhil before getting “watery”. I will look in to the pump style shaving creams. I can’t use aerosol

CAPB. they want a super stiff foam like meringue pie..

Thank you for answering me. I must ask with this expectation of the food industry is it a good idea to ask about irradiation of the food to ensure a good TPC count of a vendor? To beat a dead horse more…Is having a TPC count under 200 cfu/g considered “ok” or does it have to be totally under 100 cfu/g?

Thank you for the info. Just another question, so the rice starch is just a more pure form of the rice. This would be concentrated. Are there any tests to prove the rice starch potency? Would this be needed in a finished product?
Would too much starch burn the hair or be considered an overload of active?

I doubt if Chat GPT will stop hobbyist, DIY, and get rich quick folks from coming here to ask for professional suggestions from the professionals…. ????

Hello! How successful were you at achieving the mousse project? I am trying to do the same thing but having issues with the texture or creating the foam for the mousse. What did you do??
-
Thank you so much! I have been round and round with the food manufacturer. They think its normal for starches to have these counts and are alright to use. I told them cosmetics do not have those standards. So how do you source “food type” raw materials? This is not the first time I have heard food suppliers wanting pass off food specs. for cosmetics….

Thank you Gentlemen. I am assume the glycols are what is diffusing the foam? I am following a vendor formula. They were much help.

Thank you again. If you don’t mind I have a few more questions…. I have watched the view. I know I have to do this with Glycerin and water (absolutely no EtOh). I was going to take my leaves and slow cook for 6 hours in a water bath. I don’t believe I will have time to grind the leaves into powder as suggested in the video. Afterwards I was going to let contents strain over cheese cloth. I know the used a cottonball and coffee filters. I was even going to try a use an Erlenmeyer flask with a side arm and vacuum to help pull the contents to strain faster. I hope this makes sense. Are these acceptable?
I am trying to find the “cone” she is using to hold the powder and drip. Where can I get one of these?
-
Yes, I understand the our industry has had a veil of secrecy and still carries this veil to this day among us professionals. I have experienced it. However eventually you will hobbyist or DIY folks come here quoting CHAT GPT as the gospel without thinking about everything that went into answering their question.

I have contacted 2 cosmetic suppliers and they are telling they don’t have any supplies that could give me a TPC better than ~9000 cfu… Is this normal going into a cosmetic?

Thank you for answering me. DHA is dihydroxyacetone. Must use a non ionic surfactant like decyl glucoside. I am having problems producing a “whipped”like foam. I keep getting a “chunky” foam that goes flat quickly.

Goodness thank you for this information. I am being asked to create this ” glycerin/water tincture” in 4-5 separate herbs. I normally do straight skin care formulation so this is out of my normal scope. I have looked at several videos and you tube. I was wondering if it should try to do each herb separated or do 1:1 all together. Sounds like I should make an extraction for each herb than put them together. I have the understanding on what to do in the videos I just don’t know what would be the best pathway to get get started. I know I have lemon leaves as apart of the 4 herbs. Since lemon is perceived to be strong ..should I make a 1: 1.5 extraction and put this portion in as 1:1? If you know any helpful videos that would be very nice…

Thank you! I am in the United States on the west coast. is there a website for lab auctions or to notify when business are closing. I have looked on Ebay and the selection right now is good.
-
thank you for replying. I am in the USA. I am looking to replace the shaft/rod that would go inside of a overhead mixer. I am looking at 1″ to 2″ marine style propeller that would fit a 600 mL to 1000mL beaker for mixing. Most places I have worked already had these as apart of the lab so I am not sure where they were ordered from. I hope this helps…

Cool thanks! They look the same and I remember working with similar ovens previous but never thought they were incubator.
