Great video.Is hydroxyethylcellulose heat sensitive? I just try to make an emulsion with it, so had to heat the water phase to 75C and it split around 60-65C. It formed lumps... I used Geogard ultra and sodium citrate in the water phase, as well so I am not sure if could be the Geogard that could be responsible for the lumps.. .

Happy formulating!

[@angeladamico6426]

I love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us. I noticed you did not use a "high sheering" tool with the preservative.. I know it is not a thick product. Is this why?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You only need high shear where low shear is not sufficient to break droplets or particles into a small enough size and/or to ensure sufficiently homogenous distribution of all ingredients. The low viscosity of these products means high shear is not necessary to achieve this but don't forget this could alter depending on other materials you may use, different input rates and final batch size. I hope this helps, Belinda

I'm having sensory difficulties with hydroxyethyl cellulose. The product appears to leave behind a dry whiteish patch that settles into all lines in the skin. It also rubs in tiny bit white if a large amount is used and when it dried it starts pilling off if rubbed. I'm worried that these problems will appear with other gelling material as well. What do you think about combining different gelling items?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

HEC is normally very easy to use with little residue however it is hard to say without seeing your complete formulation. Are you using too much perhaps; or too little humectant and/or emollient in combination - that could be the problem. Try those fix its first, or you can study our Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Science or Diploma of Personal Care Formulation to get more detailed training in this area. Happy formulating!

[@ugochinnamdi9275]

Hi Belinda. Which neutralizer did you use for the carbomer to set?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Usually sodium hydroxide 10% or 30% solution

[@hindfathi4867]

Hello bleinda ...thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge ... can you please recommend the best types of preservatives for mists??

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It depends on so many factors, there is no one perfect preservative, or one perfect answer!

Hello Belinda. What are the different effects other than color would you possibly get when using more solubilizer than oil?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

I'm not sure what you mean, you only use the solubiliser to solubilise the fragrance or have delivery of another oil; or more solubiliser can be sticky or can be used for cleaning, but does not suit this leave on mist or gel form.

If we were to make this an Organic Cosmos standard mist, what would you substitute the Polysorbate 20 for, especially if trying to avoid Alcohols in the formulation?

Great video....will the cellulose give a nice hold in a hair styling gel?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You need more than just cellulose to hold hair! You might enjoy this video, this material was AMAZING: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJOZeYeDgbJ-hdE Just don't use as much as I did if you don't need as much hold! :)

Please what do you have to say about using polysorbates in leave-on products?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Nothing wrong with them, just don't use too much otherwise they can feel sticky!

[@rafeqahbintiraslan9330]

Hi Belinda..thank you fo sharing..it is a very informative video.. I have tried many times to prepare the mist but i have obtained a cloudy solution after a few hours. I have used polysorbate 10x than the w/w% of the oil phase, initially i got a clear solution, however after few hours the solution turned cloudy. Can you give me some suggestions on how could i make a stable clear solution for the entire shelf life. Thank you.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It depends how much oil and polysorbate you have used. If you have tried with 1% oil, it may be too much for the formula. Also consider your final pH.

How much xanthan gum do you recommend for a serum ? Also I have hard time getting all the xanthan gum when pouring into water, can you do the opposite and pour water into the xanthan gum ? Why would be the difference ?

[@niemam007]

Hey, other way round is harder to mix in. Did you try warming up the water?

[@GraceZaga01]

I know this is really old comment but mix the xantham gum in glycerin first to dissolve it, before applying to your water phase. This will eliminate the particles and bits

[@vanessasantiago3031]

Hi, how can i eliminate the formation of soapy effect for water base serums and toners?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Vanessa, the point of a solubiliser is that they are very high HLB - very surface active loving which means they also form bubbles easily. You could reduce the input of the solubiliser but it is a fine line between reducing it so as to reduce soapy effect and then not having enough to solubilise your lipids - you will normally get some soaping just because of the materials they are. But play with the input/ratio to reduce it, just be careful of then not using enough to solubilise your lipids! Alcohol reduces the soapy effect too but is often not desirable for your consumers. Hope this helps, happy formulating!

What do u mean by nutrilizing the polymer ?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi, some polymers need neutralising to fully hydrate and achieve full viscosity and stability benefits - while others don't. For example, carbomers need neutralising otherwise they won't provide their full gelling benefits.

what is the neutralizing agent ?

A mist is like a spray, not an emulsion, an emulsion is like a cream, lotion or body butter.

Oil to water? Not other way around? Why

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

When solubilising, you must add the solubilised oil phase slowly and in small increments to the water phase, otherwise it won't solubilise properly.

[@sharonhamilton4328]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 Really?? Okay, another question.. I've tried, tried, and tried . Difference between xantjum gum and septimax iss?? Better worse? New recipe, add xanthum gum to glycerin as well as hyaluronic acid.. a water phae. It does turn to gel. But seperates.. Ingredient oil actficol or actficol, it feels best me. Continue?

[@sharonhamilton4328]

Why always glycerin??

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You could use propylene glycol or propanediol, but glycerin is cheap, readily available and a good humectant. You can alter this if you want.
