DIY formulatorJanuary 25, 2024 at 7:32 am in reply to: Cleanser turned BRIGHT PINK! Why?Thanks for the response. I m checking for bacteria and mould with microbial test kit. I feel what u r suggesting is possible since this particular time the extra water that I added to compensate for the water lost to evaporation was straight from the distilled water jar. Generally I bring water to boil and then add.
Thanks a lot!

DIY formulatorNovember 6, 2024 at 8:52 am in reply to: Natural preservatives, the Democles sword of cosmetic science.I am making a hair conditioner with Shea Butter, Olive Oil, BTMS50, Cetyl Alcohol, Water, Glycerin, Aloe Vera Extract, D Panthenol, Silk Proteins. The water phase is 65% of the formulation. It is a thick creamy consistency and will be put in a jar and not a pump bottle. Is it safe to use Euxyl PE 9010 @1% along with Sodium Benzoate & Potassium sorbate (liquid blend) @1% ?
