[@lilybaytoday]

Hi Belinda, how about sun flower wax? Also, as far as a cleansing balm goes what wax would you recommend, o/w?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Sunflower wax is quite a hard wax; it would compare to the rice bran wax in many ways, just double check the melting point of the material you can source against the rice bran wax to make sure. For a cleansing balm, please watch our video: How to make cleansing balms: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHXCmZeobbCLrZo You might also find our Create Cosmetic Formulas program useful, it helps you select the right materials and then put the formula together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHm6fpyij7dohK8

[@contactpureu.1347]

Hey Belina, i have a question what's about berrywax, would you recomment it with candelillawachs as a flexible wax?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Its soft and flexible - it could work with candelilla, depending on what you want to create. Learn to make these selections and formulate professionally with our Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Science: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinAdvancedCosmeticScience-478/ and Diploma of Personal Care Formulation: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/DiplomaofPersonalCareFormulation-479/

Beeswax is an emulsifier? That's so interesting. I couldn't find information about its hlb. I thought it wasn't an emulsifier. Could you please make a video about it?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Its how the traditional cold creams of the Elizabethan era were made. They don’t feel nice like our current emulsifiers do, but it was all they had at the time. Still, beeswax does have a low HLB (around 5) and can support other emulsifiers with their activity. It is not sufficient on its own. I might add this to the list as a bit of a historical revisit… but its certainly not elegant like the emulsifiers we can get today, and its not enough on its own.

[@t-.-t.]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 yes! please do make a video on it. Its sounds very interesting. Thank you

[@ominiraogoadulawo2022]

Hello Belinda, how do I get the sauce plates and what are the names so I can get some? Are they glass, plastic or silicon

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Thanks for watching. Please find information on lab equipment here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5uagmONiddljpo

[@ominiraogoadulawo2022]

The Institute of Personal Care Science thanks Belinda, the silicon sauce plate is not mentioned in the video, I have watched it before. I mean the little sauce-like plate you put ingredients or cream. Thanks

Which would be best for a sticky lip gloss?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You actually need a sticky ester for that. Something like Schercemol esters by Lubrizol.

[@christina2836]

Great tip on the beeswax! What percentage of beeswax would stabilize 5% of glycerin in an anhydrous formula? Would the glycerin have to be solubalized in a bit of water?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You would treat it the same as if it were water. Please email us for full formulation, method and supplier details: [e-mail] we provide this free. Happy formulating!

[@christina2836]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 This is actually the best channel I’ve found for formulating. I put the wax in @ 2% and glycerin @ 3% and had no issues. I’m still watching for any stability issues, none so far. Your really cool B.

Which one is good for lipstick and lipbalm??

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It depends on your company philosophy! You will enjoy this workshop on ‘can I use a different oil or wax’: personalcarescience.com.au/Workshops/Oilsbuttersandwaxesworkshop-5209/

[@kasiabos9821]

hello maybe someone can help me. I'm trying to do a lip balm but I'm finding it hard to make a perfect balm. I don't know why but when I apply it feels amazing on the lips, the problem is that after like 1h it feels like the lips have dried and they feel super tight. Maybe someone knows why is this? the ingredients I use are beeswax, cocoa, coconut oil, almond oil, and avocado oil.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It would depend on many other factors also in the formula. We’d need to review your specific scenario to advise properly, please purchase consulting time here: personalcarescience.com.au/Advice/Advice-2046/ You can also get your formulation questions answered LIVE with Belinda, join our Patreon channel here: www.patreon.com/personalcarescience

[@eddiemedranoe]

This video is a goldmine thank you, soo informative. If I use both beeswax and rice bran wax for a pomade formula, I should use more beeswax than rice bran correct? Thank you

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It depends on the consistency you require, please play around with samples to get it just right 😊

[@naveedaslam4038]

Very useful information thanks

[@ashleyblair2726]

Can you use these waxes in scrubs as well???

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It depends on your application, it certainly adds to innovation!

[@raneshabrown4110]

What about Castor Oil Wax

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Castor oil wax is hydrogenated castor oil; it would perform in a very similar way as the hydrogenated vegetable oil just double check the melting point is similar and you’ll get similar results.
