Hello! I’m Rocky and a new member. I make and retail handmade soaps. I have joined to improve my knowledge of cosmetic ingredients and formulating, mainly because I love experimenting with new ingredients. I have always enjoyed cooking and I think of cosmetic chemistry as the same as cooking, just with a different set of possible ingredients. So, in that respect, for me, formulating is a new and interesting extension. I look forward to scouring the thread and learning new things!
