    Dear Mr  David. Thank you very much for your help!! Very Kind.
    In my country  don’t find coconut fatty acids. Can I keep the Babassu oil or Coconut Oil in the same quantities?

    Hello Dear, thanks. I tried with Babassu oil, but it’s no good. It doesn’t make a lot of foam.

    Do I need to increase the estearic acid? Can you help me.

    I tried to get on the internet, but they do not speak a value, just 10 to 30 % of stearic acid. Wasn’t white, got a little transparent

    My Formulation is:

    stearci acid - 7,50 %
    Miristic Acid - 11,50%
    Babassu OIl -9,5%
    Glicerin - 5%
    KOH - 5,30%
    NaOH - 0,30%
    triethanolamine -1%
    water - qsp

    Sodium Lauroyl
    Sarcosinate………………………..    
    3,00

    Dear Mark, thanks for replying. I’m trying to reproduce a formulation of Croda. I researched and bought some shaving creams, Taylor, Proraso. … and all use 

    at least the NaOH and KOH. The creams are great. 
    Taylor use Triethanolamine too  and Proraso Acid Lacit.
    About 3% You say reduce the stearic acid? of 7.5% to 3%?
    but then I won’t know calculate as KOH and NaOH used.
    About coconut oil and Coconut acid, yes if possible to buy too.

    Dear Perry, I’m not discouraged. On the contrary, the difficulty is what motivates. Because I know that in some

    place or someone will give me a solution. Just look.

    Dear Mr John, thank you again and thanks for giving a little of your time

    You can, please help me just a little more?
    The cream that bought the Proraso (PRE SHAVE CREAM) has a Pearlescent appearance,
    but the formula has nothing showing. Why does he keep looking like this?  What percentage of soda I can use in this type of cream? 
    Best Regards, Nilda Potter.
