I was inspired by @thebumbelingbiochemist on Instagram. She has posted free resources for people who want to learn biochemistry. I took the time to make a general chemistry version of all the equations you will encounter in a general chemistry course.

Let's meet a new ingredient Behentrimonium chloride (BTC). For full disclosure, the ingredient was sent to me for free from Crafting Cosmetics in exchange for a review. I have purchased from them before. I have to say, I am impressed with Crafting Cosmetics. Shipping is quite fast and the best price that I have seen. Their ingredients are not expensive and it is not a massive investment of money when you just want to see if you even like an ingredient. It is also a cosmetic chemist-owned brand. I appreciate all the SDS and certificate of analysis. They are a US based supplier. Just to clear this up before anyone gets confused. The owner and I both have the same first name. I do not own Crafting Cosmetic.
In this post, I will show you how to make the natural body lotion I shared in this post link.
In this post, I will share how to formulate a STABLE natural body lotion. I will include some percentages which you can customize. Lotions, at their core, are three different ingredients—water, oil, and emulsifier. As you know, water and oil do not mix. They need something to aid in dispersing one into another. The emulsifier we will use today is Ritamulse SCG (INCI: Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteryl Alcohol, and Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate). This emulsifier is a complete emulsifier that can be used in a pH range of 5-7.5. The max oil phase you can have is 25%. It is suggested usage rate is 2-10%. I have found from doing real-time stability testing that It should be 6% or greater. In this formulation, I am going to be using 6%.
