Formulating Bars, Balms, Sticks

Formulating sticks and bars can be a tedious task. Stick and bar products need to have the right balance of ingredients so that it is (1) solid and (2) it can spread on the skin with a nice skin feel. Which can be a very hard balance to get right as they are opposite attributes. So, I plan on tackling some of the issues you will encounter and sharing my experience in improving the formulations.
