Are you looking for custom packaging or simple cosmo and bullet bottles etc?

Fragrance quantity is entirely based on preference and the IFRA recommendations for the fragrance you have chosen. For aftershave I would go easy on the fragrance since it will be used on the face and so close to the nose. I rarely use more than 0.3% - 1% in products I formulate. That may differ for you based on what you desire.

[MDBeauty]

Will do. Thanks and congratulations.

Also, what other surfactant could i mix it with that would still be gentle enough?

[MDBeauty]

You didn’t put the amount of oils so i’m guessing around 30% -36% or so. You also missed your preservative and antioxidant. I am not much of a butter formulator but i think its your formula that needs adjusting and that could be a bunch of different things. I would keep the oils under 15% and you may also need a gum/polymer as well. I’d say start with making a 1 gallon batch again, go over your numbers and ensure everything adds up correctly before scaling. You can also check out knowde for a base formula and work your way from there.

You may try your luck with these.

@Perry44 Hi Perry, any suggestions on this? Thanks

[MDBeauty]

PH is 5.5 - 6

I asked because there are many available if you check google. You should also try attending Cosmoprof if you want to find those that do custom packaging. One of my go to’s is Container and Packaging. If you call them directly and are doing pallets you get better rates than the website. You can also try US Pack Group for bottles.

[MDBeauty]

Thank you. Do you have any hair jelly base formulas using the recommended product? Also how do I get samples?

[MDBeauty]

Thanks a bunch!

[MDBeauty]

I will start with Phenoxy/EHG with Benzoate

[MDBeauty]

Ok, thank you.

[MDBeauty]

[MDBeauty]

Thanks a bunch Phil

I wasn’t sure if they were kid, possible inhalation and aerosol safe hence why posing the question to the group.

[MDBeauty]

We manufacture the hydrosols in house and have the ability to use both preserved and unpreserved.

[MDBeauty]

It will only have the hydrosols and preservative. Just the hydrosols range from 4.8 to 5.9.

[MDBeauty]

I did think of this but didn’t want to take any chances with the little ones.

[MDBeauty]

I am noticing all on the market use sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.

[MDBeauty]

This is a tough one then because I was hoping not to use one that has formaldehyde.

[MDBeauty]

Thanks!
