I am trying to make a clear gel sunscreen using the following formula: * Water = remaining part * Bisdisulizole Disodium = 5% * Ensulizole = 8% * Triethanolamine = 20% * Citric Acid = 5% * Preservative = 1% After mixing all ingredients, I tried using the following gelling agents but could not form a gel: * AnyGel (Dehydroxanthan Gum) 2% * Pro Polymer (Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer) 2% * Satin Cream Maker (Sodium Acrylates Copolymer) 2% Could you please recommend a suitable gelling agent to create a clear gel texture for this sunscreen formula?
I have a shampoo formula and would like to know: **Shampoo Formula:** 1. Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Coco Betaine) 30.00% 2. AminoWash™ (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Coarse) 25.00% 3. Mild-Wash™ (Sodium Lauroamphoacetate) 5.00% 4. Flora Foam™ 3.00% 5. Disodium EDTA 0.20% 6. Natural herbal extracts (6-10 types, already available) 5.00% 7. Water qs **Questions:** 1. I want to make this for an adult (60+) who has neither oily nor dry scalp, and for myself (normal-to-oily hair). Can this formula be used for both? 2. If the formula is suitable, please provide the mixing instructions. Thank you.

I mixed `encapsulated Salicylic powder 3%` into a gel of the Lan series and it precipitated. I have a few questions: * Does the effectiveness of Salicylic decrease or degrade due to this precipitation? * The white solid particles that clump together and don't absorb into the skin - are these the Salicylic powder? * If the effectiveness is reduced, what percentage of Salicylic remains effective in this gel?
I have questions regarding Centella Asiatica Extract and SPF products: 1. I previously used the liquid form of `Centella` (Madecassoside Centella Asiatica Extract), but it is no longer available, only the powder form. Could you please provide the equivalent usage percentage for the powder form so I can adjust my formula? 2. Could I have the INCI name for `SPF protect I`? I liked using it, but it's no longer sold. I currently use `SPF protect II` instead, but I still prefer the glossy finish of `SPF protect I`. Is it possible to mix the ingredients of `SPF protect I` myself? 3. Can I add any ingredients to `SPF protect II` to achieve the glossy finish like `SPF protect I`? I'm looking for a glossy look on the face but without feeling oily.

I have Keratosis Pilaris (ขนคุด) on my back, shoulders, some areas of my arms, and very dry skin. I want to make a body lotion to exfoliate the keratin layer using AHA and BHA, provide moisture, reduce clogged pores, and be cost-effective. I am referencing a formula (KP-Clear Lotion) and have proposed my own formula. Please review the feasibility of my formula and process before I purchase ingredients. My proposed formula: * Water: 60.70% * Glycerin: 2% * Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5): 1% * Allantoin: 0.30% * Lactic Acid (AHA) 90% Deodorized: 5% (Will this be too irritating for the skin?) * Salicylic Acid (BHA) Standard Grade: 2% * Propylene Glycol: 5% (for dissolving BHA) * Butter Cream Maker: 2% * Shea Butter: 5% * Isopropyl Myristate: 4% * Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): 1% * Safe B3: 5% * Mild Preserved Eco: 1% * Fragrance: 1% My proposed process steps: 1. Combine Water, Glycerin, Panthenol B5, Allantoin, Lactic Acid 90%, and Safe B3 in a beaker and heat to 60°C. 2. Separately dissolve Salicylic Acid 2% with Propylene Glycol 5%. (Is this ratio correct for dissolving BHA?) 3. Combine Butter Cream Maker, Shea Butter, and Sweet Almond Oil in a beaker and heat to 60°C. 4. Pour the water phase into the oil phase and blend until combined. 5. Wait until the temperature drops below 40°C, then add Isopropyl Myristate, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), Mild Preserved Eco, and Fragrance. Blend until combined. 6. Measure the pH to be 3.5-3.8 using litmus paper. (I don't know how to adjust the pH. Please advise.) Are the steps and formula compatible? If not, what adjustments are needed? For cost reduction, I am using standard Salicylic Acid and Lactic Acid 90% Deodorized, and I already have Propylene Glycol. Additional questions: * Is Squalane (Olive) safe for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding? * If I add Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) about 1% to oil, will it help extend the shelf life and prevent rancidity?
Could you please explain the functions of the following cosmetic ingredients? * Acetyl Hexapeptide-9 * Aqua * Ceteth-20 * Cetearyl Alcohol * Ci 75130 * Ci 75300 * Colloidal Gold * Diazolidinyl Urea * Disodium EDTA * Fragrance * Glycerin * Glyceryl Stearate * Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract * Lauric Acid * Methylparaben * Mica * Myristic Acid
I want to reduce the time and steps in blending fragrances. Can I blend "Finished Fragrances" with "Fragrance Components"?

I am making a herbal kaffir lime shampoo. Herbal ingredients naturally don't produce foam. 1. If I add `Lauryl Glucoside` to create foam in the shampoo, what is the recommended usage percentage? 2.

If I need to add other ingredients for foam, which ones should I use and in what percentage? Please advise.

I am making a Liquid Foundation formula from My Skin Recipes and need to order the ingredients below.

I attempted to formulate a toner containing Lactic Acid, but encountered a problem with precipitation. The formulation includes the following ingredients: * Water: 90% * Lactic Acid (AHA 88%): 5% * Disodium EDTA: 0.2% * Dimethyl Isosorbide: 3% * TaraGel: 0.8% (Not yet added due to precipitation occurring beforehand) * Mild Preserved Eco: 1% (Precipitation occurred immediately upon adding this ingredient) The pH of the mixture after adding Mild Preserved Eco was 2. I suspect the precipitation is caused by Mild Preserved Eco not being stable at this low pH. I have the following questions: * If the pH is 2, is it safe to use on the face? * If not, what should be used to adjust the pH? * Can TaraGel be added to the mixture that has already precipitated to create texture? * If making a new batch, is a preservative necessary even if the pH is 2?
**Inquiry regarding Cosmetic Production Facility Licensing** I am preparing to apply for a cosmetic production facility license and require guidance on the following: * Examples of required documents for the license application. * Recommendations concerning fire extinguishers within the production facility. * Guidelines for managing chemical waste generated during production.
