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.

I am a consultant and over 15 years of experience in color cosmetics and personal care innovation and development. This includes shade development. I can formulate anything from a lipstick to an OTC lotion. I also work with a small manufacturer. So if needed you can have the products developed. Everything is done in one place. No batch is too small.
Or if you prefer I can just consult for you. My email is mwgarcia@comcast.net.

You need to add trimethylsiloxysilicate.

Thank You. I figured as we always do perform challenge testing but just wanted to ask since I am adjusting this formula and I am used to using other preservative systems.
Thank You for your input.

I 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.

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 .
