I'm looking for recommendations for permanent hair dye ingredients. I can barely find any right now. I need black and dark brown colors.
I am formulating a lip gloss focused on nourishing lips for plumpness, reducing dryness and cracking, and reducing wrinkles to make them look healthy and full. The proposed formula is as follows: Ingredient 100% 1. Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline (DPHP) 2% 2. HyaOil™ (Oil-Dispersed Hyaluronic Acid) 2% 3. DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid 3% 4. Wrinkle-Fill™ (Acetyl-L-Tyrosine) 2% 5. Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5, DL-Panthenol, Powder) 3% 6. HyaOil™ (Oil-Dispersed Hyaluronic Acid) 1% 7. Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol) 1% 8. Tamanu Oil (Pure Virgin) 25% 9. Tea (Camellia oleifera) Seed Oil (Refined) 5% 10. Cocoa Absolute 1% 11. Oil Film (Long-Wear) 5% 12. Vinyl Film (Medium Wear, Soft) 10% 13. Polyglyceryl-2 isostearate/dimer dilinoleate copolymer 40% Based on this formula, I have the following questions: 1. Are the ingredients compatible? 2. Are there any missing ingredients needed for the formula to be functional? 3. If I want a clear, colorless lip gloss, should I remove any ingredients or how should I adjust the formula? 4. What types of packaging does the company offer for lip gloss products?
I am trying to make lotion myself based on research, but when I emulsified it, it seems like the ingredients did not mix well. The total batch size is 250g. The ingredients are as follows: 1. Distilled Water 71% (177.5g) 2. Glycerin 2% (5g) 3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 8% (20g) 4. Stearic Acid 3% (7.5g) 5. Poly sugar mulse d9 (Sorbitan Oleate DecylGlucoside Crosspolymer) 2% (5g) 6. Chamomile Extract 1% (2.5g) 7. Arnica Extract 3% (7.5g) 8. Seaweed Extract 2% (5g) 9. Aloe Vera Extract (liquid) 3% (7.5g) 10. Vitamin E Acetate 3% (7.5g) 11. Essential Oil 1% (2.5g) 12. Mild Preservative Eco (Ethylhexylglycerin and Propanediol) 1% (2.5g) The process I followed is: 1. Heat Distilled Water to 70-80°C, remove from heat, and add Glycerin. 2. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Stearic Acid, and Poly sugar mulse d9 to 70-80°C. 3. Combine the water from step 1 with the oil phase from step 2 and emulsify until the temperature is below 40°C (it mixed into something like milky water, not thick lotion). 4. Weigh and add the extracts from items 6-10 and emulsify until combined. At this point, it started separating into a milky water part and a thicker, floating part. 5. Add the essential oil and preservative. The final result is a thick part floating on top and a milky water part below. What step did I do incorrectly? Thank you.
