Welcome to part nine of this series on troubleshooting Montanov™ emulsifiers! In today’s post, we’ll look at the facial moisturizer formulas we started to create in part eight using esters, hydrocarbons, and silicones as our emollients to create something super smooth, light, and easy to spread, which will avoid soaping! Woo hoo! This post also applies...

Having trouble with Montanov™ & Olivem 1000 emulsifiers? The soaping effect – creating facial moisturizers with esters, hydrocarbons, and silicones, part eight

by

Welcome to part eight of this series on troubleshooting Montanov™ emulsifiers! In part eight of this series, we’ll look at creating a few facial moisturizer that might have less soaping effect by altering the structuring agent to include esters, which are more slippery, more glidy, have lower surface tension, but still increase the viscosity a...

Having trouble with Montanov™ & Olivem 1000 emulsifiers? The soaping effect – the impact of shear, viscosity, and melting point with naturally compliant formula (part seven).

by

Welcome to part seven of this series on troubleshooting Montanov™ emulsifiers! In today’s post, we’ll look at the impact of shear, viscosity, and surface tension on the soaping effect in emulsions made with these emulsifiers. This post also applies to Olivem 1000 as they use similar emulsifiers as the Montanov™ series. As you’ve seen over...

Having trouble with Montanov™ or Olivem 1000 emulsifiers? Why more water soluble emulsifiers like these cause more soaping (part six)

by

Welcome to part six of this series on troubleshooting Montanov™ emulsifiers! In today’s post, we’ll take a look at why these emulsifiers soap the way they do – it’s thanks to their increased water solubility! As you’ve seen over the last five posts, the Montanov™ series of emulsifiers – 202, 68 MB, and L –...

Having trouble with Montanov™ & Olivem 1000 emulsifiers? Let’s look at making our formulas less soaping by using solid or simple esters, like Lauryl Laurate or cetyl esters (part five, modifying the formula)

by

Today, in part five of this series, we’ll be looking at the hand & body base formula and modifying them to include esters as our structuring agents. These can have a lower melting point than the fatty alcohols and acids, plus they have lower surface tension, which we know can reduce soaping. This post also...
