pH - 5.93

This is a really bad pH for bacteria too specially when you don’t have chelating agent

I have used chelating agent in my formula i.e. Sodium gluconate

[Priya]

pH - 5.93

@PhiIGeis can you please suggest better & efficient alternative for 9010 or other combination for preservation. Because in Asian countries some time summer season is very challenging for cosmetic cream in case of their production or their shelf life.

[Priya]

@Abdullah yes. as soon as we did the packging, in next day we have seen these orange spots at the bottom & at surface of the cream

[Priya]

@Abdullah Nothing has seen in production tank. it has observed after 2-3 days after production.

Thanks Bobz.. In my first formulation first I’ll replace HP wax with palm wax and i will put some hydrogenated castor oil, further will discuss development of my project. thanks all.

[Priya]

Ok.. fine.. I will try to do trial as suggested by you.. Bobzchemist. what type of waxes should i used?? other than bees wax which also maintained translucency of my formulation too. 

[Priya]

Bobzchemist I agree with you but so many analgesic formulations are ointment based made with translucent petroleum jelly.

[Priya]

its high paraffin wax. CM-1000 is used as thickener (co thickener) its INCI as per BP is Cetamacragol 1000 (PEG 20 Cetostearyl Ether). IPA is isopropyl alcohol

[Priya]

Milliachemist I have done some trials with that PJ also but i could get the gel like feel and still it melts at about 40°C. have you seen vicks?? I am try to fomulate like that Product.

Here is our formulation

HP wax - 1.5%
IPA - %
CM- 1000- 1%
Camphor oil - 1-5%
Menthol oil - 3-7%
Eucalyptus oil - 0.5-1%
PJ - Base Q.s.

[Priya]

Hi Ella,

thanks for your kind reply. I wan make gel formulation with petroleum base. i do not want to make cream or lotion and high mp waxes cant used in large amount cause it make formulation rigid & also its not good for skin.

[Priya]

Thanks a lot Bobz, Miliachemist & Perry.
I will try all possibilities suggested by three of you.

once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[Priya]

this is my formulation. the problem arising is about phase separation. I cant find out my reason behind phase separation. after homogenization the viscosity get dropped down & phase get separated even at pH 7.

But with ZnO- 0.5% conc. get single uniform well homogenized layer. But increase in ZnO shows drop in viscosity, separation, dull appearance.

I don know where i doing mistake.

Dear friends I need your help in this query.

Handbook of Cosmetic Science and Technology, Fourth Edition says water biding capacity of Na salt of lactic acid & PCA founds to be higher than that of glycerine & sorbitol. How we can justify this terminology?

[Priya]

i.e. Natural Moisturizing factor

[Priya]

yes sure.

[Priya]

Currently I have Tata ZnO - Bare.

[Priya]

Yesss.

[Priya]

Ye definitely. I will also try ARLAMOL PS15E with Arlacel 2121 suggested
by Bobz. But Bobz I cant use xanthan gum so is it fine if I replace
this with Novemer EC - 2

[Priya]

Yes sure milliachemist.
I will definitely try all the possiblities which suggested by you n Bobzchemist. Hope to make better innovative and most safest product for babies.

If I used this  Isoamyl Laurate so is it need to keep other fatty acids (stearic acid, cetyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol) in formula too?

[Priya]

Thanks to all for your precious & valuable comments & discussions. But I also to think about the cost of the product. As we are in herbal cosmetics we used these chemical RM’s for just emulsification. as we are making this product for Babies so the product should be safest one with no harmful effect to babies skin.
Is cyclmethicone suitable for baby products?

[Priya]

Yes Bobz cause they have following information.

Thanks for your valuable response.I will definitely go through that sight.
I would also like to share you that I have dropped the colostrum % from 5 to 3 but still there was same problem, the formulation turns yellow with unpleasant smell after three four days. I am already using EDTA for chelating agent.

[Priya]

Sure Bobzchemist
