I have drafted preliminary formulas for a shampoo and a conditioner. My goal is to create gentle formulas suitable for sensitive skin and dry, damaged hair. Both products should be fragrance-free as I am sensitive to fragrance. For the conditioner, I also want it to provide semi-permanent black hair coloring. Here are the formulas I have drafted: **Shampoo Formula** * SulFoam - Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate 15% * SiliWater 1% * Biotin Express 1% * Urea 5% * Triacetin 0.5% * Flora Foam 3% * ActiveProtec 1% * Biotinyl - GHK 3% * Pure Keratin (Sheep wool) 1% * Dandruff-Guard 0.5% * Paeonia Preserve 2% * Water 67% * Lactic Acid 2% * Will this formula result in a shampoo texture? Do I need to add a thickener like N8000 or 70, as I don't see them in the formula? **Conditioner Formula** * Cetearyl Alcohol 8% * Sensitive Cream Maker 1% * SiliWater 1% * Cetrimonium Chloride (CTAC) 1% * Clear-Cond (Quaternium-80) 2% * ActiveProtec 1% * SemiColor - wood black 0.5% * Color Fix 5% * Mild-Wash L * FloraFoam 3% * Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC) 1% * Lactic Acid 4% * Paeonia Preserve 2% * Borage Oil 2% * Wheat Germ Oil 1% * Water 66.5 % * I tried making a small batch of the conditioner formula. It did not thicken into a cream texture. When I used it, I felt a stinging sensation on my hairline at the back of my neck. The black color also seemed too intense. * Could any of the ingredients be causing the stinging sensation, or is it related to the color? * Please help review and improve both formulas to make them effective and better than my current drafts, addressing the texture, irritation, and color intensity issues.

Hello, I would like to know if Bescent can be used in scented candles? If we have a blended essential oil, let's say it contains floral and woody notes, the scent might not diffuse as well when burned because the scent base isn't very heavy. I don't want to add ingredients like [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/linalool-%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%A2/2685-linalool.html:3ty10e9f]Linalool[/url:3ty10e9f], [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/rose-%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%9A/2767-geraniol.html:3ty10e9f]Geraniol[/url:3ty10e9f], as I heard that adding these to scented candles can be harmful to the lungs when burned. I read old forum posts from the company where someone asked about using Bescent in scented candles, and the company replied that it can be used and will help improve the scent. I want to know if Bescent is the same ingredient as [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/citrus-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A1-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%88%A2%E0%B8%A7-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%99/2486-d-limonene.html:3ty10e9f]Limonene[/url:3ty10e9f], [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/linalool-%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%A2/2685-linalool.html:3ty10e9f]Linalool[/url:3ty10e9f], because I want to make scented candles that are not harmful. So I would like to consult with the company.

I want to try to replicate a formula similar to MizuMi UV WATER SERUM based on its ingredient list: Water, Zine Oxide (Micronized), Titanium Dioxide (Micronized), Isododecane, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Dioctyldodeceth-5 Lauroyl Glutamate, Alumina, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Steareth-21, Steareth-2, PEG-100 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, MethylPropanediol, Simethicone, Methyl Gluceth-20, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, DL-alpha-tocopheryl-acetate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract. Do you have any recommendations for mixing a formula that is close to this brand's product? Additionally, I saw a rough formula written on the website: Example Physical Sunscreen Formula using Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid / Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid (Water-in-Oil Cream) 1. Water 44% 2. Cyclomethicone 15% 3. Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid 25% 4. Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid 15% 5. Mild Preserved Eco 1% From this sunscreen formula, is it unnecessary to add more Emulsifier? Because Cyclomethicone is not soluble in water, and when mixing, components 3 and 4 must be mixed in this before pouring into water. I don't see a specific Emulsifier here. Or is the Emulsifier in components 3 and 4 sufficient to allow Cyclomethicone to mix in water adequately?
