Quick updates around the blog for a wonderfully sunny April 21!

Hi everyone! Hope this post finds you well. Sorry for not sharing the Newbie Tuesday post for this week in which we’ll be creating a lotion with Olivem 1000. I received my vaccination, and it knocked me on my bum for four days, all those lovely symptoms of the flu, and I fell behind posts for the blog. (I like to get as many as I can in a series done so I don’t lose momentum.) I’m back to normal, but am taking a course that finishes today through the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, so I haven’t written much this week.

Did I mention I was accepted as an affiliate member – one who doesn’t hold a degree in an applicable science – with the Society of Cosmetic Chemists? Isn’t that awesome? 

I’ll have the Newbie Tuesday up by Friday afternoon, Saturday at the latest, while Formulating Friday should show up around the same time.

There’s more going on around here that I’m working on and hope to have to share with you soon. I’m sharing the second of the four NaturePep® proteins – first it was NaturePep® Amaranth (INCI: Water, Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract) – hair care active for volumizing and thickening products, and today it’s NaturePep® Quinoa (INCI: Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract) – for eye bags, creases, and puffiness! I’ve included a few ideas for formulas in that post, but will have a few new ones coming out shortly.
