Chemistry

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! 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...

Welcome to part two of our look at the relationship between viscosity and surface tension as we review both concepts, then work through a worksheet where we combine the two concepts before we make a few products with these ideas in mind. In section one, we took a look at the concept of combining emollients...

Welcome back to our series on combining emollients! In this part – part or section six – we’ll combine the concepts of viscosity and surface tension to see how they affect the spreadability, spreading values, sensory characteristics, and other properties when it comes to using emollients in our products. In section one, we took a...
