I’m back to the old grindstone. The Skin Glow Facial Moisturizer is completely sold out, and now I need to reformulate because I couldn’t get oil soluble green tea extract anymore. I have a water soluble variety now which has to be added to the water phase instead of the oil phase. Well, of course [...]
As promised, the sample-sized Skin Glow Facial Moisturizers are ready to go today! For those of you who have been on the fence about trying this product, now you can get a smaller size for just $5.00 that will last at least two weeks. Plenty of time for you to decide whether or not it [...]
You know how sometimes you have information about something that’s coming, but you can’t really talk about it yet? Well, I have one of those things…sorry, I can’t share any more right now, but it has to do with peanut butter and music and soap. You’ll know what I’m talking about when it happens! In [...]
I made the new Skin Glow Facial Moisturizer available online, and sent out notices to my Preferred Customers early Monday morning. It was sold out by this morning. Fortunately, I just made another batch and we are good to go! You can read about all the wonderful ingredients of this unscented, natural moisturizer. You can [...]
It’s been a long time coming…first the requests from several of you for a facial moisturizer…then the various formulas I created that weren’t quite right…then “field” testing by real, live customers…and finally testing by a certified lab. I just found out today that it passed the lab testing with flying colors! I am very excited [...]
I’ve been working on formulating a facial moisturizer, and finally came up with something I thought was worth trying. I asked for volunteers to test it for me for a couple weeks, and just received the last of the feedback on Saturday. I wasn’t sure what sort of response to expect. Facial moisturizers can produce [...]
I realized after I posted my final facial moisturizer ingredients list that I forgot to list the preservative! I have edited the post and added it, but I wanted to comment about what it is and what I like about it. The preservative I chose is citric acid (and) silver citrate, which is an all-natural [...]
This is it!! Third time was the charm. I’m ready to let my testers decide if this is truly a wonderful facial moisturizer. The final formula I made today has a smoother texture, is light yellow in color, and it is as un-scented as I can make it. Here is my ingredient list: Distilled water [...]
I made another test batch of facial moisturizer today. A very small batch. Good thing too! Do you see how bright yellow/orange it is? That’s Sea Buckthorn Berry CO2 Extract making it turn color. I don’t think that’s going to work. I tried adding some Vitamin C Esters, and they were a little tricky to [...]
I made my first test batch of facial moisturizer this week, and it didn’t turn out so well either. The texture is fine, but when I was putting it into sample bottles, the warmth from my hands caused some separation. If the emulsion isn’t stable enough to be handled, I’m going to re-formulate! The good [...]
