Hello, I am interested in purchasing a cream stirrer. The intended use is to stir cream batches not exceeding 4-5 liters per batch. I am considering the Overhead stirrer 150/90W with a suitable size Dissolver/Disperse head. Can this setup be used to make emulsions? Thank you.
I want to create a deep nourishing sleep mask for skin firmness, brightening, and effective melasma reduction. I have proposed the following formula: 1. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka. Pitera) 44.4% 2. Repair Activator™ 10% 3. Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq. Matrixyl 3000) 5% 4. Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear) 5% 5. DMI 2% 6. Wax Cream Maker™ 5% 7. propolymer 0.5% 8. MSH White™ 2% 9. 4MSK 2% 10. Phenylethyl Resorcinol (eq. Sym-White™) 0.5% 11. Tranexamic Acid 3% 12. ActiveProtec™ OX 0.6% 13. Jojoba Oil 5% 14. Rose Extract 1% 15. Dimethicone 1 sec 3% 16. Willow Bark Extract 5% Can this formula be mixed? Are there any redundant or incompatible ingredients? If a serum containing Willow Bark Extract 5% is applied before this cream which also contains Willow Bark Extract 5%, will it cause any issues? I am concerned that users who only use this cream might not get sufficient exfoliation for good results if the Willow Bark Extract is removed, but I worry about potential irritation from layering. Should I change to a different, less irritating exfoliating ingredient?
Will Acacia Salicylic Acid, which is made using the spray drying technique with Acacia Gum, be stickier or more viscous than Complex Salicylic Acid? This is based on the understanding that the first uses Acacia Gum and the second is encapsulated and contains Xanthan Gum.
I need to add purple color to a hair coat product. The formula contains Fractionated Coconut Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone (Silicone oil 350), and Fragrance. I need a colorant that dissolves completely and does not precipitate. I tried a color claimed to be oil-soluble, but it precipitated. What colorant can I use?

Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) 3.00% 3. White Egg Enzyme (Acnezyme™) 3.00% 4. Phytosphingosine 1.00% 5. Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC, USA) 1.80% 6.

The product information for Calcium Thioglycolate states that it must be used with Calcium Hydroxide, mixed in a 5:1 ratio. What happens if Calcium Hydroxide is not included in the formula, and pH is adjusted using Potassium Hydroxide instead?
For a cream/lotion formulation containing DMI (Dimethyl Isosorbide) as a penetration enhancer, if I dislike the sticky texture after application and want to wash it off, how long should I wait at least to ensure that the active ingredients have been sufficiently absorbed so that washing will not affect the absorption?
Hello, I would like to try mixing cosmetic oils for personal use for the first time. I need advice on using oil as the main ingredient for making facial oil, incorporating active ingredients into the formula. I would like to try making a total of 3 formulas and have drafted the following preliminary formulas: 1. Acne facial oil for reducing acne problems. I want to include Salicylic Acid. * hemp seed oil 70% * Safflower Oil 10% * Jojoba Oil * Grape seed Oil 10% * Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 20%) 0.2% * Salicylic Acid 1.5% * natural Bisabolol 1% * Tea Tree Oil 1% * Lavender Oil 1% 2. Antiaging Formula * Tamanu Oil 20% * Grapeseed Oil 20% * Argan Oil 30% * Safflower Oil 13% * Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol) 1% * Cedarwood Oil (Texas) 1% 3.

If I want to make a Body oil using the above formulas as a base but adding Fractionated Coconut Oil to reduce cost, can that be done? For example: * Fractionated Coconut Oil 50% * hemp seed oil 10% * Safflower Oil 10% * Jojoba Oil 15.3% * Grape Seed Oil 10% * Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 20%) 0.2% * Salicylic Acid 1.5% * natural Bisabolol 1% * Tea Tree Oil 1% * Lavender Oil 1% Thank you very much.
I would like to ask about formulating a Hyaluronic Acid gel. If I want a gel with 1.5% active Double Hyaluron, how much percentage of Double Hyaluron Liquid should I use per percentage of water? Based on the website information that Double Hyaluron Liquid is a liquid form of Double Hyaluron (Standard, Nano) with a concentration of 5% Hyaluronic Acid (consisting of 2.5% Nano Molecule and 2.5% Standard Molecule). Also, can I use Hyaluronic Acid 4D and Hyaluronic Acid Japan in the same gel formula? Will combining Double Hyaluron + Hyaluronic Acid Japan + Hyaluronic Acid 4D result in better moisturization? Will using multiple types mixed together feel stickier on the skin than using a single type?

Can this formula be mixed? I would also like recommendations for a suitable fragrance. Additionally, I tried to place a production order on the website but encountered issues with the ingredient input step. How should I proceed with ordering production?
I want to dilute Glycolic acid with water to get a desired concentration. For a concentration of 5%, the usage ratio is 0.05. Does this mean making a 5% solution (Glycolic 5 : Water 95) and then adding this solution to the formula at 0.05%? Also, regarding the FDA regulation for AHA stating "For consumer use, no more than 5% and product pH not lower than 3.5", does this 5% limit refer to the final concentration in the formula?
I need feedback on this toner formula designed for acne-prone skin, targeting clogged pores and inflammatory acne, as well as exfoliation, reducing dark spots, and acne scars. Are there any potential issues with this formula? Formula: Acacia Salicylic Acid (Timed Release Water-Soluble Powder) 4.00 % FruitPeel™ (Fruit Exfoliation) 2.00 % Lactic Acid (AHA) Neutralized 2.00 % Linked Papain 2.00 % Yeast Resurface 2.00 % Pure-Succinic™ (Succinic Acid, High-Purity) 1.00 % Zinc PCA 1.00 % Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) 3.00 % Phenoxyethanol SA (eq.

Can DMI and Phospholipid (Hydrogenated Lecithin) be used together in the same formula? Specifically, when using them as penetration enhancers, but also wanting the moisturizing benefits from Phospholipid, is it possible to use them together?
Normally, if Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) is used as the main ingredient, is it unnecessary to add preservatives? If preservatives are added, will it help extend the shelf life?
