    Thank you all for the replies! I appreciate it. I dissect ingredient lists for fun now and this one certainly raised questions! I’m sure it won’t be the last. ????

    I am in the same FB group, and I was looking forward to hearing more from Graillotion on his preservation posts. Bummed he left the group, it was my favorite group because of his contributions.

    That being said, I remember previous conversations in various FB groups where others from IPCS were INSISTING that certain fatty alcohols and or thickeners are emulsifiers. Like vehemently, rudely, obsessively insisting they were correct. It was bizarre. I am in the US, I can’t give advice on how beneficial the program would be career wise, but best wishes to you.

    I am unaware of any formulation techniques that would allow aloe vera to act as an emulsifier. Perhaps someone else will elaborate on this.

    Since I began studying ingredients and formulating, I have spent a lot of hours reading INCI lists. I have found a few times that some brands appear to leave off ingredients. Emulsifiers and preservatives seem to be the ones most commonly left out. I am not including the preservative they call “parfum” as the one being left out either.
