Oh that so called ingredients. Did you file complaint? You can do so online under the fda website
-
Or ask the manufacturer for the formulating guidelines for each one.
-
Formula provided would be best for advice.
-
Only testing will determine the results. No advice here.
-
Also, read up on the scrubs and walnut powder being harsh

1. Did you purchase from reputable manufacturer - Solagum from seppic or another place. Seppic does not allow resales of their products due to adulteration in the industry.

A customer of mine purchased from making cosmetics https://www.makingcosmetics.com/Z-EMF-POTCETPH-01-25000.html?lang=default&locale=en
potassium cetyl phosphate is reported to be used in 375 formulations, the majority of which are leave-on formulations such as moisturizers, sunscreens and make up removers. Per
However, always obtain the CG rather than tech grade. Ask them if they can supply you for a sample or ask for smaller qty. LC is good for that as well as another place on EC can’t recall, maybe cosmetic chemistry store?
Some other links I found:

Hello Ben, I know this is an older post, but do you have the Capability to test a product for any benzenes, or harsh chemicals. After reading this, I think I want some products tested. Do you offer this?
-
I believe there should be a section for handcrafters forum, as I come across some questions, it appears to be from non chemists. We can if anything can teach them marketing vs science.
-
Waste of money. Have a lab examine it and sue for adulteration. Did nothing for my customers toner but just a name on label - we have to base products for efficacy and nonetheless why give Russia money for pine water
-
I would lower the amount of menthol and petro jelly. Why are you using that? There are other items to use than that.
-
I still believe in science rather than marketing. I don’t believe in these so called “preservative” most finished products we tested from our customers their products contained Phenonip and trying to claim natural. SMH
Stick with the recommended preservatives, preservatives
Too much convo issues with other products mentioned. With the upcoming regulations, a lot of companies will have to be upfront, enough said
-
May I ask for the suppliers? Someone has wrong information
-
Just make sure to reformulate, stability and check the INCI names. Generally no, unless you reformulate, but since oils, shouldn’t be an issue

Searched for beet root powder as my customer wanted to use it for coloring, I tried to explain the guidelines and she is still convinced because suppliers are selling it
She provided me with these I excluded the company names. How do I explain to her without her ripping me apart.
Some verbiage from a variety of places:
Organic Beet Root Powder
Beets, or at least the leaves of the beet, have been used since before recorded history. Charred beet roots were found among Neolithic remains at an excavation site in the Netherlands. The Sea beet, the ancestor of the modern cultivated beet, was probably domesticated somewhere along the Mediterranean. Both the roots and leaves have been used in folk medicine to treat a wide variety of ailments since the time of the Romans, who used them for fever and constipation. Hippocrates used the leaves as a binding for wounds. In the Talmud, the rabbis recommended “eating beet root, drinking mead, and bathing in the Euphrates” as part of a prescription for a long and healthy life.
Organic Beet Root Powder is known for its high level of nutrients, it contains beta carotene, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B1, Vitamin C, glycine, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, tryptophan, tyrosine, and zinc.
Organic Beet Root Powder is commonly used in the cosmetic and personal care industry for its ability to provide nutrients. It is used in sugar scrubs, hair care formulations, facial masks aimed towards skin blemishes. It is also used in Lip Glosses for a natural colorant. This Product is not water soluble, however, it is water dispersible – It has a tendency to clump, If you’re using this in a personal care product, make sure you break up the clumps before formulating with the product. This product is cosmetic grade powder for cosmetic and personal care formulations.

<font size=”3″ face=”helvetica,arial,sans-serif”>Beets have existed for thousands of years, but the beet root we know today was only hybridized about 300 years ago. Beta vulgaris is typically enjoyed as a vegetable for its earthy, yet sweet taste, and nutritious value. Our organic non-GMO beet root powder can be added to culinary dishes or blended into smoothies, juices, and herbal formulas.</font>
<font size=”3″ face=”helvetica,arial,sans-serif”>In ancient times, beets had elongated roots like carrots and the globular red beet we now eat was only hybridized about 300 years ago. Beets have the highest sugar content of all the vegetables and are becoming popularly used as a sweetening substitute. Beet juice and beet powder are used to flavor carrot, celery, and other vegetable juices, and also to color a variety of foods.</font>
