ngarayeva001 said:A toner is a marketing term. First toners contained alcohol. Later (mid 90’s) they started including surfactants and became additional step after cleansing milk (to remove residue left by the cleansing milk). Nowadays toner is nothing more but a liquid serum (water, some extract for claims and glycerin). It is a moisturising product. So you should decide what your product is supposed to do, cleaning or moisturising. Adding oil and surfactant will make it a cleansing product.What is aloe vera extract? Is it something like aloe vera x 200 or it’s aloe vera juice?
Thank you for this information, Sir @n@ngarayeva001. So meaning, if I were to develop a toner it should have a alcohol always since its main function is to cleanse. I think this is the aloe vera extract concentrate x10.

Correction, is surfactant the right ingredient to use to a toner or solubilizer?

Microformulation said:It is not yet fully approved, but if you read the full report and their reasons behind the standards, you will see that it is based on some good Science. Also, and I have been in this situation, you don’t want to position yourself in the market with a product which may later be disallowed. Or do you? It does create a lot of fast reformulation, which keeps Chemists busy. Good for the Formulator, not so much for the product line though.As Perry pointed out, in the US all sunscreens are Over the Counter Drug products. The New Drug Application referenced in the article would be a request to the FDA to go higher in SPF.What is your “added value” for going above SPF 60?
Thank you for your information. I just added moisturizers and anti-irritants in the formulation. As per Sir Perry, all sunscreen products are products. Does it mean that regardless of the SPF 15 or 100, it is considered as Drug?
I just need the information so that I can raise it to the management I’m working in.
Many thanks!

You may use this to measure the SPF of the sunscreen in your formulation. It was shared to me by a fellow cosmetics formulator.
Thank you.

Perry said:All sunscreen products in the US are drug products.
Thank you Sir Perry. So if US FDA implements that all sunscreen products are drug products, I assume the ASEAN community also follows the provision when incomes to sunscreen products? We only have a license to operate as a Cosmetic Manufacturer meaning we need to apply for a Drug manufacturer.
Many Thanks!

,"w":492,"h":95,"abs_x":384,"abs_y":1650}”>Uf you look at the new proposed monograph in the US, it is advocating SPF 60+ as the highest and requiring a New Drug Application for 80+. There is a great article in HAPPI. https://www.happi.com/issues/2019-04-01/view_sunscreen-filter/fda-proposal-part-i-is-the-wait-finally-over/Thank you for the information. Is this already being implemented since it was only a proposal? Just to be clear, the SPF 60++ should be the highest SPF claim for a cosmetic product? If the SPF is raised up to 80, it will be a drug application?

Hello. Already opened the link you’ve sent to me. Where do I input the ingredients? I can’t find it the page.
Thank you for your response.

Load up all of the appropriate sunscreen actives at the maximum percentage allowed by the FDA. Neutrogena markets a 100 SPF-rated sunscreen so you can check its LOI
@MarkBroussard Thank you for your response, This will be very useful in my project. Again, many thanks!

Jar said:paoloferino said:I’m curious with your formulation. In using Ginger Root Extract, does it add color to your emulsion? Or does the extract have any color?
I think the wax is making it sticky. Actually, the extract has a dark orange coloration, but it doesn’t seem to effect the color of the emulsion. It still comes out very white.
Thank you for your response. For your preservative I agree with @ng@ngarayeva001. You can use Phenonip as your preservative. That’s what I’m using as my preservative. -
tinas said:We sent a batch of moisturizer day cream with lots of Jojoba oil, Raspberry oil and 6% of minceonized (not nano) zinc oxide for proffesional testing. The result was 1-3 SPF!! But as far as I know - 1% zinc oxide gives aprox. 1,5 SPF. What could be wrong here? I was sure SPF should be around 6-7 SP
Good day. What instrument did your use to measure the SPF of your cream?
Thank you

Kirkland said:Honestly it sounds like you’re using FD&c bath bombs colorant. Firstly this works in extremely low concentrations, a 1/5 teaspoon will color several ounces of dry product. You may want to try 0.1g/100g and work from there.
The second is it’s not designed for lotions and is prone to staining bathtubs unless it’s paired with poly 80, so likely isn’t going to be a good substitution in lotions.
Thank you for the feedback, mate. Any recommendations regarding the type of colorant? Sorry for late response, I’ve been on a business trip.
Your recommended concentration is noted. Many Thanks!

Perry said:Use less color
Thank you Sir Perry. I’m still on the process of trial and error. My boss the lemon yellow color for the products.
