WOW, this video is SO amazing! I was extremely educated and i just thank you for doing this! I am trying to start my own haircare line but the process can be very overwhelming. I am going to keep going though, thank you!!!
thank you so much, I've learnt a lot from your video. I wondered - how can I stop oil and powders from separating? Trying to make deodorants but the oils just float to the top (despite using glycerin and lecithin)
I needed the is video! I still have questions on solbulizers. I have a conditioning spray that I can’t stop the separation without it get too thick to spray through a sprayer. BTMS and cetearyl thicken it too much. Polysorbate does not keep it binded
@lifewithmodesty7395 solubilizers are tricky to work with but a very common and effective one is caprylyl capryl glucoside. Note, it is a non-ionic surfactant and produces a bit of foam but works well as solubilizer. There are other solubilizers and also emulsifiers that create thin/watery emulsions.
@@drizzledazzlehairandskin I appreciate you responding! I love formulation advice. I did create another formula for my sprays using Glyceral Stearate PEG 100. I'm trying to promote " "natural" so I dont know if I'll be using it long term in hopes to find plant derived substitute. But as of now it works great without the seperation.
Please answer me. Permethrin is organic oily substance which cannot mix in water. How to mix permethrin in water? I need 2% mixture. There are 3 possible solution i have found. Which is the best? 1) Use dimethyl formamide DMF as co-solvent. It will dissolve Permethrin , then mix it with water. 2) Use Silicone Emulsifier 3) Use C9 + 6 % emulsifier Fx 6600 + 7700 to make 25% Permethrin-EC then mix it with water.
@@bellanu9681 Beeswax is not an Emulsifier,you need an Emulsifier like E wax nf,Olivem 1000, Ritamulse scg,Lotion pro 165 and lots more to help bind your oil and water to give you an emulsion…I hope this helps ❤️
@dineshgulati1664 for thin (slightly thick) lotions, you can try olivem 1000. You'll need to use the emulsifier at the lower usage rate and add little gum, maybe 0.2% but I wouldn't go higher. For water or sprayable emulsions, you can try caprol micro express from lotioncrafter but i haven't used it before. My go to for sprayable emulsions is surfpro cf.
please let me know need to make longlasting sandle wood water based perfume which solubiliser suits best and make the perfume longlasting thanks in advance
Hello ! Hope you're doing well.😊 I have a question can you please guide me... Im making a Vit C serum with vit E...so i need a solubilizer to mix it...can you please suggest me which one is best or can be used??
Guar gum is not an emulsifier. While some gums can hold up a little amount of oil in your formula, the main role of gum is to stabilize your water phase and also thicken your products. Olivem 1000 is a very easy emulsifier to work with.
Glycerin is not a solubilizer so, will not mix your tea tree oil with vinegar. If you don't mind me asking, how do you want to use the product? Will it be rinsed out or used as a leave-in? If rinse out, it might be easier to make as you go, shake and use without the need to solubuilize. Otherwise, caprylyl capryl glucoside is a good place to start.
The purpose of understanding the charges for the emulsifiers is for compatibility with different ingredients example preservatives, thickeners, humectants just to name a few. The hair tends to be negatively charged so you will want to use a cationic (positive) emulsifier for formulating hair products like a conditioner. That is why in the example I gave BTMS 50 (positive emulsifier) is widely used for a lot of hair products. The cationic emulsifer will stick to the negative charge section of hair and absorbs into the hair to condition it. I hope this helps with your question.
I do all organic, vegan, chemical free. I don't use water in my formulations, however, I want them to be more stable with heat etc. I wonder if there is something I can use that is not a chemical? I don't want wax either.
You can use co-emulsifiers like cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid to stabilize. You will have to experiment, though, to get the sweet spot that will create great skin feel and also retain structure of your product
Are you looking to create a lotion for the scalp? Curious as to your question as a lot of scalp products are mostly serum. Notwithstanding, any emulsifier you'd use for your skin may be used for the scalp as the scalp is also skin
You can but depending on the percentage of ritamulse and stearic acid used, your product may turn out to be stiff/hard. But, experimenting is the best way to know for sure if it's something you'd like.
