I absolutely agree with everyone. Not sure where I was for the past few years as I just discovered this site. I have been in this field , for a long time, over 15 years, before I had kids. I fell into a job and one thing after another I am making cosmetics and creams. After the college degree that is. Now I am working with a small manufacturer and involved in innovation and production. I have experience in all personal care formulation including OTC and cosmetic formulation which includes shade matching. I am very happy to have found this website. So much information. Thank You for having me here and if I can help in anything I definitely will.

Thank You for your input. -

MemberSeptember 8, 2015 at 2:21 am in reply to: Cosmetic Microbiologist Here. I Can Help Answer Your Germ QuestionsI have a question for the microbiologist. I am working with a product that has benzyl alcohol at 0.08% . Is this enough to preserve it? The PH is 4 and it is about 50%.water I am debating on adding something extra but dont want to if not needed. Maybe PG ? What would you recommend ? Parabens are unacceptable. I can drop the PH , slightly. Thank You.

MemberSeptember 8, 2015 at 2:11 am in reply to: What do you do when your formulation consultant takes your money and stops contacting you?This is so sad. We work so hard as formulation chemists and for someone to come in and do this is unaccepptable. They should be ashamed of themselves. This is such a nice website .
