In this post, I will share with you how to work with difficult emulsifiers. These emulsifiers tend to fail quite easily if they do not have the right conditions. The emulsifiers we will discuss are BTMS-25, Ritamulse SCG, and Olivem 1000. After doing further research, I have noticed that all of these emulsifiers are liquid crystal emulsifiers. [7] That is not to say that all liquid crystal emulsifiers are hard to work with; I just noticed that these ones in particular are. 

Moisturizers play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin by providing hydration and locking in moisture. However, not all moisturizers are formulated equally, and it's important to choose the right one for your skin type. In this blog post, we'll explore the various skin types and how to formulate moisturizers that cater to their specific needs.

If you know me, you know I am quite into chemistry. I am getting a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Currently, I am attending a community college and in my second semester of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is quite hard, but it is quite rewarding. It is all the chemistry of our raw material, and how it is made.

My skin has been breaking out more than normal. I think it is a combination of not properly removing my sunscreen and adding an oil serum to my routine that is heavier than I normally use. I wanted to create something that would help absorb excess oil and exfoliate the skin.  As a disclaimer, I did use a guide to formulate this from the Institute of Personal Care Science. Page 35 of Apply Organic Principles to Formulate Organic Personal Care Products.

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. 

With summer approaching, I wanted to share my aloe gel formulation. I did make this formulation natural. I was also able to use a natural green extract for the color, Ellam Pazchai Light Green Water Soluble Powder. For full disclosure, the Ellam Pazchai Light Green Water Soluble Powder (not an affiliate link) was sent to me for free from Essential Whole Sale and Labs. This formulation is quite basic. You can alter it to whatever you have. Note that with that, your choice needs to be able to handle electrolytes.

As a blogger and chemistry major, I want to set realistic expectations for cosmetic formulations. Formulations vary in complexity, ranging from a simple cuticle oil to creating a buffer for a cosmetic formulation. This is something to consider when trying to find your own formulas or following those of others.
