my last amazon shpmt. vanished, so I'm going to try your method for skin cream. I am super allergic to some perfumes, additives, which I learned sampling free cosmetics as part of my work experience. Think I saw macademia product somwhere here, and just recently found out Probably not for me. It was a gift pkg. and my forearms and thighs developed the worst rash ever, weather was hot, I was driving for hours, etc....this rash lasted at least a full week ,was hidden, and caused absolutely no pain! Thanks for the ideas. I will look into this further. Well, it was a bit annoying as the damaged skin dried up, enuf said.

Hello In the event that I wanted to put (collagen powder or bleaching powder) on face beautification creams _ at what stage can I add the powder? Is after the completion of making the cream? Or boil it with distilled water? Or do I put it with melted wax or at any point exactly I want the powder to blend comfortably and perfectly with the cream mixture

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You shouldn't be using bleaching powder on the face. For the collagen, it would normally be after your emulsion has cooled, please consider this program, it will help you make the right material and method selections: createcosmeticformulas.com/Cosmeticformulas/Cosmeticformulas-894/Makeskincareandhaircareformulas-900/

what other gums could be used as an alternative to xanthan gum?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Rita, there are a few types - sclerotium is great but you need more of it, it costs more and you need to allow it to hydrate overnight; there are also some other alternatives like succinoglycan, acacia, chicory, tara gum, guar gum, MCC - it depends on what product you are creating and also your budget.
