My other community page has a horrible comment processer. I made this post where you can ask me and other people who have access to the blog. I will replace the link and link it on the side bar. 

This is going to be a continuation of the Basic Body Scrub Formulation. In this post I am going to be adding more ingredients to make the formulation more professional. In addition, I want you encourage you to play around with the formulation. 

I was also able to fix an issue with Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). PVP is a brittle film former. It is why it can turn white and flak off which is not a good look. By adding more flexible film formers, I was able to make a formulation that does not flake.
Some preservatives can be deactivated by PVP [1], so be sure to check with your supplier.
Gum Arabic is the other film former in this formulation. At 1% gum Arabic does not contribute to the viscosity. You would thing that was not the case but, In my tests, it needed 30% to contribute to thickening. This was one of the formulation challenges. As I was trying to not make the formulation too thick. If it was too thick then it would spray in a stream which is not desirable. However, you want enough styling agents that you get the hold that you want. For actives I have included aloe vera and butylene glycol. I have read that butylene glycol can help with film-formation. We also need it as a solvent for the preservative Euxyl PE9010. This is reflected in the method as well. Let's see the formulation. 

I do not know about anyone else, but I find that most body washes just do not remove deodorant very well. So I thought that I could make my own product. This is essentially going to be a cleaning balm formulation

In this post, I am going to sharing with you what I got in my Chem box 2.
This post is not sponsored. I was sent this box for free. In addition to this post, I will be doing ingredient guides for all of them.

This formulation was voted on Instagram. So thank you to those that participated, I appreciate it. A huge disclaimer, formulating with acids is not for beginners. This requires that you have good knowledge on acids and bases, a pH meter, and know how to handle them safely.
