Low HLB emulsifier. 

Thanks, so that’s the name I’ll ask the cosmetics ingredient supplier 

[Majman]

Thanks alot for your contributions @EVchem @”Dr Catherine Pratt” @Pharma the seasoning is fermented locust beans and it can be dried to give it longer shelf life and just wanted to make into seasoning cubes but without the smell. So was wondering what to add to mask the pungent natural smell it has

Hello fam, please this is on food processing, preferably, seasoning making and I’ll like to know if you have any ideas what chemical cancer be used to take away odour from wet and dry food during the processing that’s still edible and not harmful to consumers please. 

Thank you. 

Crikey, what a typo.
This is predominantly a cosmetics forum so you might find people’s areas of interests are elsewhere.
You’ll have to explain what the odour you’re referring to is, or whether you have any idea where it comes from. If it is spoiled food odours then I think you have a bigger problem and attempting to mask them is deceiving, possibly harmfully, your customers.

Yeah, just noticed my typo. Well I understand it’s a cosmetic forum and actually, the moderator of this forum Perry asked that I drop the question here as some people might have an idea what to use. It’s a natural occurring seasoning which in either wet or dry form has a pretty strong odour and we want to make it into seasoning cubes but without the smell, so was wondering what chemical can be used to mask the smell. Essentially we are trying to improve on a local seasoning

A body lotion @Benz3ne and the ph was too acidic and to reduce it, I divided the cream into two, added caustic soda in one and lye in the other and ended up foaming and overflowing out 

[Majman]

Thanks alot

By “here ” I mean in my country, I’ve seen some add it and claim it’s healthier than using bleach and other toxic material or hydrogen peroxide. 

[Majman]

Hydroquinone on black skin causes ochronosis on the long term, I’ve heard a few formulators here adding benzene and mequinol crystals plus fermented kojic dipalmitate to make a “cocktail ” that’s added to base cream at a ph of 5, but I’ve been reading on benzene and found it controversial but really most lightening agents are controversial. 

I recently found out some bleaching creams contains actual bleach for washing clothes, hair relaxer, fungicide for killing weed and many shocking things 

[Majman]

Thanks guys ,so heating the oil won’t degrade the vitamin c? 

[Majman]

Thanks sir 

[Majman]

In black people with active melanin, you can’t seem to be able to withdraw from use because the results aren’t permanent, so you get tempted to keep using and it still causes issues after prolonged use. 

[Majman]

and to add that even at two percent use for extended use, causes ochronosis in black people 

[Majman]

How about using alpha bisabolol 

[Majman]

Also, with black people, even the use of hydroquinone even at 2% on a long term could cause ochronosis so I’m confused, I guess I’d check some of the bleaching creams ingredients and bring it here for your analyses 

[Majman]

Thanks @ngarayeva001 and @MarkBroussard It’s pretty prevalent amongst blacks, I guess because of law of opposite attraction or something but it’s causing me stress because when you say vitamin c is brightening and you make a serum that doesn’t do that, it makes you look like a fraud or incompetent and stuff. 

How can you determine a product has steroids, mercury etc because people buy these creams and they appear to glow luminous, have poreless skin and on the ingredient label, u see AHAs, fruit extracts and petrolatum and maybe stearic acid and wonder how? 

Due to popular demand, I’m equally looking for a way to make my vitamin c serum lightening  

And is these mercury and other harmful ingredients responsible for giving those who use it the poreless skin they have even though usually within 6 months, they tend to start having bad reactions to it and ruins their skin. 

I’m just caving under pressure 

[Majman]

Some have credited using insanely high dosage of glutathione injections and high dosage of vitamin c to attain brighter complexion along with bleaching creams 

[Majman]

Perhaps cos you guys are white, you don’t see much difference because amongst blacks , people make bleaching creams and they appear to work and not all use hydroquinone so I’m wondering when you all day alpha Arbutin doesn’t do much and all that, so what ingredients could those who make bleaching creams be using 

[Majman]

@markbroussard so this will help lighten the face yeah? Adding L-gluthathione

[Majman]

So technically it works then given the wait list and selling out back to back

[Majman]

I saw the video too @ngarayeva001 Hence my wanting to make a cleanser with watermelon juice but also lost at what sort of preservative they used in the video. I’d had the idea about using juices but thought they’ll be sticky. So would u say that all that they do is just a ploy cos that’s an awful lot of watermelons wasted. And several proclaim it works and actually sold out. 

[Majman]

So @ngarayeva001 and @Perry companies like glow recipe with sold out products using watermelon juices in their products (and who showed how their products are made)  is pure marketing gimmicks? 

[Majman]

Thanks @Perry

[Majman]

Yeah @chemicalmatt by including Hyaluronic, I was mentioning it as on its own and not as an extract 

[Majman]

Thanks sir @Belassi 

[Majman]

Thanks @Gunther

[Majman]

Meanwhile I can only have access to glycerin, propylene glycol as base solution, would this work?
