Using a standard dishwashing detergent and water works for most things.

Sounds like a good enough mission to me. But what matters more is what your consumers think.
-
Pretty much none of these are really used in cosmetics anymore right?
It’s the old EU trick of banning things companies don’t use. -
Yes you can. It’s probably not the most efficient way to formulate though
-
Nothing published but brands do this type of consumer research all the time.
It’s also something that will vary based on the population.
-
The image is showing now
-
Perhaps not necessary but if you don’t run them you’ll need some proof that your products are safe. How will you prove it?
-
To know what consumers think, you have to ask them. To do that you have to have some way of contacting them. Big companies use market research companies. Small, individual companies can use things like Social Media, Forums, email or person-to-person contact.
Ultimately, things like Mission and Visions Statements are things that companies figure out along the way. They aren’t things that you necessarily start with. And honestly, they probably aren’t important if you don’t already have a business.
You seem to be spending a lot of time on stuff that doesn’t generate revenue or sales.
If you really want to start a business I suggest you do this…
- Find / create a product you want to sell.
- Sell it.
- Repeat.
When you start making sales, then worry about mission statements and visions. Creating a vision or mission statement for a business that doesn’t yet exist or doesn’t have any sales seems like mostly a waste of time to me. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to do. But if it is preventing you from actually trying to make sales, then it is hindering your business more than it is helping.

Nope. Maybe orange?
Shampoo colors typically match the marketing story. So if you make an Aloe shampoo you would make it green. Henna shampoo would be brown, etc.
-
Yes, it looks like the IT folks are working on it.
The link to use now is - https://chemistscorner.com/members-directory/chemicalmatt/forums/comments/page/2/
Change the page number to whatever one you want.
Hopefully, they’ll have it completely working shortly.
-
Yes, I’ve seen a couple users show those tags. Not sure what’s going on.
-
Thanks! We’re working on making updates.
The choice to switch was not one that I necessarily wanted to do.
The old forum software didn’t work any longer. -
You’ll see I’ve updated your “member” status.
-
I’m working on figuring out how to change from “member” to something else.
However, in the “profile” section you can put a lot more than in the previous software. I’d suggest you populate that so anyone who clicks on your username will get the information they need.
-
Looks like it is a linking issue. I’ll have my IT guy fix it.
In the mean time, if you want to look at all of his replies you need the link to look like this…
https://chemistscorner.com/members-directory/chemicalmatt/forums/replies/page/2/
Just change the #2 to any of the 44 pages you want to view
-
I believe you can do the following…
1. Click on any user’s name. That will bring up their profile.
2. Then click on “forums” which is in the menu just below their name. (The default menu is “profile”)
3. This brings up a list of all the discussions they started, the comments they made, and the things that they favorited.
That should be exactly what you are looking for and easier than using Google.
-
I’m trying to fix the site but one trick you can do is to use Google.
Go to Google. In the search bar type chemistscorner.com : <username>
I think that will show all instances of that person’s posts. But the link might not be quite right. If the link to any of them has the format https://chemistscorner.com/forum/discussion/xxxx Remove the /forum/ part and try it without that. That should call up the right page.
-
Thank you for attending! Especially, at such a late/early hour.
If you want to watch a replay you can see it here.
-
I’m not sure I understand the problem with the search function. Is it working for you now?
I tested it on my system and it is now working. It could be a “cookie” issue on your computer at the moment. Perhaps clear cookies and try.
Let me know if you are still having problems.
Thanks!

I still have the old database so all the info from the forum is still captured. It’s just a matter of setting it up to work with this new software. At the very least I can turn the old stuff into a PDF.
-
No data should be lost, so it is still in our database. I will have to check with my IT guy on where those might be.

See my edited previous comment. The calculation is in the last paragraph.

I asked ChatGPT and it said…
“The molecular weight of cetearyl alcohol is 392.62 g/mol.“
I don’t think that is correct either.
More from ChatGPT -
“The sum of the molecular weights of cetyl alcohol (C16H32O) and stearyl alcohol (C18H38O) is approximately 410 g/mol.
To calculate this, we first need to determine the atomic weight of each element in the molecule and then multiply it by the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. The atomic weights of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) can be taken from the periodic table.
For cetyl alcohol, the molecular weight is:
16 (C) * 12.01 (atomic weight of C) + 32 (H) * 1.01 (atomic weight of H) + 1 (O) * 16 (atomic weight of O) = 192.48 g/mol
For stearyl alcohol, the molecular weight is:
18 (C) * 12.01 (atomic weight of C) + 38 (H) * 1.01 (atomic weight of H) + 1 (O) * 16 (atomic weight of O) = 218.36 g/mol
Finally, the sum of the molecular weights of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol is:
192.48 + 218.36 = 410.84 g/mol
Note: This is an approximate value, and the actual molecular weight of cetearyl alcohol may slightly vary depending on its specific composition.“
So, I think the average molecular weight is (x)192.48 + (y)(218.36)
In this case x = fraction of cetyl alcohol and y = fraction of stearyl alcohol
