If this happens to you, you need a simple approach to testing out your emulsifier and making a simple skincare or haircare formulation.

But what should you do if your supplier or retailer isn’t as generous with sharing information as we are? What if (as is often the case), the sample formulations they sent you are full of synthetic ingredients and stabilisers that you would never use in your organic products?
#OIL WATER EMULSION EXAMPLES HOW TO#
When you start to make an organic oil-in-water emulsion, the supplier of your emulsifier should provide you with basic information on how to use it and some sample formulations for you to try out. How to make an Organic Oil-in-Water Emulsion By following this approach, as boring and silly as it may look, you’ll master each emulsifier/ingredient you start working with in a short time and then you can indulge yourself in the luxury of adding all your extracts and active ingredients to your complicated formulations. To bring you back to reality and spare your hot tears poured over your failed emulsions, I’m going to share with you the way I start working with a new emulsifier. Aside from the frustration of wasting your precious ingredients, how are you going to find the culprit and diagnose the problem? It is true that we all learn from our failed experiments and failures but in such a case, you can not even identify the cause of the failure. Imagine something goes wrong with your formulation (which is probably true in 99.5% of the cases). We are completely aware that your fingers are itching to add that beautiful CO2 extract, exotic oil and superfood powder to your formulation all at once (we have been in your shoes many years ago) but this isn’t the right way to get to know your ingredients and to master a formulation process. Yet despite all our efforts and repetitions, we still see many enthusiastic students receive their precious parcels of ingredients from remote parts of the world and then create formulations that contain 25-30 ingredients in their very first trials. In other words, when you first start out, keep your formulations incredibly (and even boringly) simple. One of our golden rules at Formula Botanica as a progressive and science based online school for organic skincare and haircare science is that we must follow the KISS principle when we start formulating: Keep It Silly Simple.
