​I am going to be sharing another hair styling product formulation. This formula was inspired by one of the formulas from Institute of personal care science. I altered their formula to what I have. I will link my other formulations at  the end of the post.

Without going too much into depth of what I was making; I wanted to make a very soothing gel. I wanted to use a high percentage of Allantoin and forgot that solubility is a factor when choosing the percentage. I am sharing this so you can learn from my mistake. In this post, I want to talk about solubility and how to get an ideal of how much you can add. ​

With the colder months coming, I see a lot of people gravitate towards cream based cleansers. They are such a gentle way to cleanse the face. As long as you know how to make an emulsion they are easy to make.

In California, we are having temperature extremes. It is either very hot or cool; leading to this is an in-between formulation. At the time of formulating, this for a summer theme of watermelon, which is a bit out of season now. This lotion formulation is light-weight, but very moisturizing. 

If you are a beginner and want to formulate with acids, I recommend my e-book on acids. I specifically wrote it for beginners. Formulating with acids is not a topic that is beginner-friendly. Disclaimer: you are at your own risk when formulating with acids. Please formulate with them responsibly.
