The home of SwiftCraftyMonkey! Join Susan as she obsesses about cosmetic chemistry and other things (some possibly related to monkeys). Often strange, occasionally useful, and always worth a stop as a point of interest on your journey through the Intertron.
We made it! We’re on part nine, the last part of this series (for now). Today, let’s take a look at some specific emollients to predict what they might be like when it comes to spreadability, skin feel, viscosity, and all the other factors we’ve investigated throughout this series.

Let’s update our review page to see what we’ve learned so far so we can start playing with our emollients! (You can find the home page for this combining emollients series by clicking here!) This one is updated with everything in the series to the end of part eight. The larger the spreading value of...
Wow, this has been quite a series! Let’s review what we’ve learned and put it all together to make sense of it. Let’s recap! Click here to see the home page for this series! In section one, we took a look at the concept of combining emollients to create interesting sensory experiences. In section two,...
Welcome back to part two of section seven of our combining emollients series! It’s been an exciting ride, and there are only a few concepts left to review before we can start playing with loads of different ones over the next few days! Yesterday, we took a look at interfacial tension and polarity. Today, we’re...
Welcome back! Join me today as we take a look at how interfacial tension and polarity of a molecule can influence the spreading values, viscosity, and more. Then we’ll take a look at molecular structure, shape, size, and weight tomorrow before practising all this wonderful stuff we’ve been learning in this series! Let’s recap! Click...
