MemberApril 27, 2020 at 8:03 pm in reply to: Capixyl… what is it and is it a good ingredient to add to a shampoo formula?Would it make more sense to put it in a leave in hair spray or is there really no benefit to this compound. What would be the best way to deliver it in a product?

What temp should we heat the cbd distillate to before mixing with the mct?
-
And what about a cbd distillate? We are now using an 80% distillate rather then isolate

MemberDecember 23, 2019 at 9:32 pm in reply to: How to add 5-10% menthol oil to this oil based productUnderstand with the emulsifier aspect, but it will make the product very thin when adding 5-10% menthol oil. How do we thicken it? What thickener and what proportion?
Thanks -
so using polysorbate alone will not emulsify the cbd into the existing mixture?
a lipid is needed?
just to clarify
wehave run stability tests with the 3:1 poly:cbd and it seems to be a stable mixture as is -
Thanks, how long should the samples be exposed to these stability tests? Should leave in freezer overnight? 24hr? And same with the heated methods?
-
How would I be able to test if the poly 80 to cbd ratio is stable. I tried a 3:1 ratio and it seems to visually emulsify well, but is there a way to test it or have some more certainty?
-
Great. Thanks! Will give it a try! Can you have multiple emulsifying agents in a formula? Such as poly 20 and 80?
-
What ratio of polysorbate 80 to cbd distillate would be recommended? 3:1?

MemberNovember 20, 2019 at 2:50 am in reply to: help adding menthol at 10% to a prexisting muscle gelGreat thoughts and thanks for the comments. Would it still be feasible to solubilize the additional 10% menthol with the polysorbate? Or should it remain consistent with the solubilizer from the base product?

MemberNovember 19, 2019 at 5:38 pm in reply to: help adding menthol at 10% to a prexisting muscle gelIt seems when the polysorbate 20 is added the menthol emulsifies well, but then makes the gel too thin. How should we go about thickening the gel once the menthol is emulsified?
