Re: clear liquid makeup remover

[Guest guest]

Angie,

Thank you!

I've surfed at your new web page, it's very nice and informative!

Great resource for a newbie like me.

I've the following questions:

1. is Guarsilk a kind of thickeners? What's the difference among

xanthan gum/cellulose/carbomer/ultramaize?

2. Is olive oil PEG 7 the same as PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate?

3. For your Fruits and Flowers Make-up Remover, can any other

emulsifiers such as polysorbate 20/80 replace it?

Angie:

I've another quesiton:

Is Glyceryl Stearate SE the same as Glyceryl Stearate?

I always seem to buy the wrong stuff....

>Is Glyceryl Stearate SE the same as Glyceryl Stearate?

Glyceryl Stearate is a low HLB nonionic emulsifier made from glycerin and

stearic acid. Glyceryl Stearate can be used to formulate water-in-oil emulsions

and when combined

with a high HLB emulsifier, like Ceteareth-20, it can be used to make

oil-in-water emulsions.

Glyceryl Stearate is essentially water insoluble. We can emulsify Glyceryl

Stearate by adding some soap.

Glyceryl Stearate SE is a self-emulsifying grade of Glyceryl Stearate that

contains some soaps like sodium and/or potassium stearate.

I haven't used Glyceryl Stearate SE before but I believe you can make creams and

lotions with Glyceryl Stearate SE as your only emulsifier.
