I currently use commercial shampoos or popular herbal shampoos, but I experience problems with oily scalp, itching, and hair loss. I would like a recommendation for a sulfate-free shampoo formula with the following properties: moderate foam, easy rinsing, hair doesn't tangle after drying, and can be mixed with pure Essential Oil or herbal extracts. Are additives such as property modifiers, thickeners, and preservatives necessary?

I would like to inquire about the components for making a clear serum base. The requirements are: the serum texture should be clear, have a slight viscosity (not completely watery), and have a soft, smooth feel when applied to the skin (silicone can be used to achieve this smoothness). What substances should be used to mix this serum base? I want to use it as a primary serum base. If I want to make a whitening formula, I can add 3-4 types of whitening agents. If I want to make an Anti Aging formula, I can add 3-4 types of Anti Aging agents. Could the R&D team please advise on the main components for making this serum?
I've tried mixing fragrance oil with diffuser base, but the scent throw isn't as strong as commercially available products. Should I add ethyl alcohol?

I am considering purchasing the product "Light Lotion Maker" (https://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/o ... trate.html). I currently use another product that leaves a sticky/tacky feeling on the skin after being sprayed on the face. I am unsure if "Light Lotion Maker" will have the same issue. If it does, it may not be beneficial for me to buy it. Could you please confirm if this product leaves a sticky/tacky residue after spraying on the face?
Hello, could the admin please check the correctness or feasibility of this formula before I proceed with production? I apologize if there are errors; I'm new but trying to learn. The intended use is a gel applied after lip tattooing (done with small needles, resulting in minor, non-severe wounds, but with swelling and potential for easy infection). I want to produce this gel formula to coat the lips to reduce irritation, reduce swelling, heal tissue to recover quickly, add moisture, stimulate blood circulation, and provide mild initial infection reduction. It also cools down the skin after lip tattooing. The product texture is a clear, viscous Aloe Vera gel that leaves a thin film on the skin. The formula components and percentages are as follows: Component | Percentage ---|--- Purified Water | 90.00% Aloe Vera (Actives Extract 10:1) | 3.00% Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) | 1.00% Cellulose gum | 1.00% Allantoin | 0.40% Phenoxyethanol (Preservative) | 0.40% Glycerin | 1.00% Butylene Glycol | 1.00% Avena sativa (Oat) kernal oil | 0.5% Ginkgo biloba leaf extract | 0.40% Chamomilla Recutita (matricaria) | 0.40% Tocopheryl Acetate | 0.50% beta glucan | 0.40% Thank you very much.

I am currently using Mizumi cleansing water, but using cotton pads feels abrasive on my skin. I want to switch to a Cleansing gel so I can apply it directly with my hands (without using cotton pads). I would like to consult about using a thickener. The ingredients of the product are: DI-Water, Dipropylene glycol, Poloxamer 184, Sorbitol, PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Cichorium Intybus Leaf Extract, Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract, Apium Graveolens Extract, Sodium Polyacrylate, Sodium Chloride, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Betaine, Disodium EDTA, Sodium PCA, Serine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glutamic Acid, Alanine, Lysine, Arginine, Threonine, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Glycine, Proline, PolyGlutamic Acid. Based on my observation, the main surfactants used are Poloxamer 184 and PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, with Sodium Polyacrylate used as an Emulsifier in the formula. If I purchase Sodium Polyacrylate (Light Cream Maker) to add to make it thicker into a gel texture, would that be possible and appropriate? Or would the staff recommend another option, such as Pro Polymer (Acrylate Crosspolymer)? Thank you very much.
