I was in a chemistry competition today where people were given certain ingredients and instructed to form a moisturizer from them. We were told we could use some or all of the following...

- Water

- Cetiol CC

- Isopropylmyristat

- Emulgade SE-PF

- Lanette MY

 

The sample I submitted after a few trials with different combinations of ingredients and the order of adding was about 40g water, 2g cetiol, 2g lanette, and about 5g emulgade. It was a bit too oily I think, and I couldn't really tell how well it thickened as it was still fairly warm from heating.

 

Just wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on what the right formulation should have been, because i'm curious on what I should have been doing.

Well, we got told the answer and even though my formulation was different from what the best suited one was, my moisturiser still turned out to be fairly decent. I was surprised
