Allantoin

MSDS

INCI = Allantoin Allantoin is a unique product that is used for skin protection. Allantoin is a white, odorless, crystalline powder. Allantoin is also used to hasten the growth of new, healthy tissue. Allantoin increases the desirability of cosmetic creams and lotions by its action as a skin protectant. Allantoin has been used in various cosmetics like shampoos, lipsticks, shaving creams, suntan products, bath foams, hair gels, baby powders, as well as the typical lotions and creams. Usage of Allantoin is from .5% to 2%. To add Allantoin into an emulsion product, the emulsion is made and then Allantoin is added during the cooling process, when the product is below 90 degrees F. Good mixing is required to thoroughly disperse the Allantoin. The FDA has approved the following statements for non-prescription, drug products containing Allantoin at 0.5% to 2.0%. For the temporary protection of minor cuts, scrapes, burns and sunburn. Helps prevent and temporarily protects chafed, chapped, cracked, or wind burned skin and lips. Relieves dryness and softens cold sores and fever blisters. Helps treat and prevent diaper rash. Protects chafed skin/minor skin irritation due to/associated with diaper rash and helps protect from/seal out wetness. Allantoin is considered to be nontoxic, nonirritating and non-allergenic. Allantoin is safe and effective in the dosage range recommended (0.5 to 2.0%) as a skin protectant. PLEASE NOTE: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration acknowledges that Allantoin at 0.5 to 2.0% concentration can be used for the prevention and treatment of chafed, chapped, cracked, sunburned or wind burned skin or lips, cold sores, fever blisters and diaper rash, but considers such explicit claims as drug claims. When Allantoin is added to a personal care product and no claims are made the product remains a cosmetic. Want our advice? Remain a cosmetic! 514-2402 1 oz Allantoin $2.34 514-2404 4 oz Allantoin $6.25 514-2405 8 oz Allantoin $10.55 514-2406 16 oz Allantoin $17.44 514-2407 5 lbs Allantoin $72.15

Clay, Red (Morocco)

Recipes

INCI = Kaolin Clays are well recognized for their ability to expand, a small amount of clay can absorb a significant amount of water. This proves to be an irreplaceable asset when creating masks and face muds. While most clays tend to have some degree of drying properties they are best suited for those skin types that tend to be more oily. Clays tend to want to clump when added to cold process soap. We have found it is easiest to incorporate by removing a small portion of soap before trace mixing the clay until all clumps are gone and then adding it back to your soap pot. Recommended usage is 1 teaspoon per pound. 502-1505 8 oz wt Red Clay (Morocco) $5.00 502-1506 16 oz wt Red Clay (Morocco) $8.00 502-1507 5 lbs Red Clay (Morocco) $37.00 502-1508 10 lbs Red Clay (Morocco) $68.00

Cyclomethicone

Recipes MSDS

INCI: Cyclomethicone OR Cyclopentasiloxane MMS continues to work hard for our customers and cyclomethicone is the perfect example. There are a ton of cyclomethicone varieties available and MMS has chosen one, specifically cyclopentasiloxane, as the variety that will best suit our cutomers. Cyclopentasiloxane has a higher flash point so you can ship your room sprays or perfumes on an airplane without worry. Other vendors sell a cyclomethicone that can't even ship to you via airplane! Be wary, your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. For your reference the flash point is 170 degrees F. Cyclopentasiloxane is the perfect balance between volatility (quick drying) and spreadability. We think it is great for hair treatments, bath oils, creams and lotions, room/linen sprays, and more. Cyclopentasiloxane adds a soft, talc-like feel and is the base for superb dry perfume oils. INCI labeling allows for the use of either name so please use the name most suited to your product and customer base. This cyclomethicone is also known as Cyclomethicone NF. Enjoy! 1 gallon weighs approximately 7.8 lbs 515-3943 16 fl oz Cyclomethicone $7.80 515-3944 1 Gallon Cyclomethicone $58.00 515-3947 4 Gallons Cyclomethicone $194.00

Dipropylene Glycol

MSDS

INCI: Dipropylene Glycol We now have DPG! Are you making one of the fabulous diffuser reed bottles? DPG mixed with your fragrance oil will slow the evaporation of the fragrance so the scent lasts longer. Straight fragrance oil may last only a month or two (depending on how much is added to the bottle) but DPG can slow the rate of evaporation so your scent may last 6 months or more. For diffuser bottle people we recommend mixing DPG at 2 fl oz and fragrance oil at 2 fl oz into a 4 fl oz Amber Glass Bottle. Then ask your customers to add the mixture to their diffuser bottle when they get home. We like the apothecary bottle to have between 2 and 3 fl oz of scent mixture when we set the reeds inside. Please remind your customers that if they have been using an Almond scent in their diffuser bottles and now want Strawberry the reeds should be replaced. Similar fragrances do not need replacement of the reeds when changing scents. And a few soapmakers have asked us to get DPG to help accelerate the trace of their soap (yes, they really do want it for that) so the slow batches can be sped up a bit. A little goes a long way! 16 fl oz weighs approximately 1.13 lbs; 1 Gallon weighs approximately 8.56 lbs 516-3386 16 fl oz Dipropylene Glycol $3.00 516-3387 1 Gallon Dipropylene Glycol $19.95 516-3388 4 Gallons Dipropylene Glycol $75.00

Glycerin, Liquid (Vegetable Derived)

Recipes MSDS

INCI = Glycerin Our liquid glycerin is used for many craft items from preserving eucalyptus stems to making lotions and soaps. Our glycerin is cosmetic grade so you can rest assured your transparent soap is made from the best ingredients. This is not a soap, it is an additive to make liquid or transparent soaps. If you need liquid soaps or transparent soap base please go to our Bases section. Please note: this item is sold by weight. The 16 fl ounce bottle used to pack 16 oz of glycerin has enough head space for the addition of 2 ounces of colorant. Do not be alarmed by the headspace in this bottle. Instead of using a smaller bottle we chose to use this bottle to allow for ease while mixing colors. 507-2036 1 lb Liquid Glycerin $4.00 507-2037 10 lbs Liquid Glycerin $21.00 507-2038 60 lbs Liquid Glycerin $95.00

When walking out of the shower you dry those legs and find they still feel like a million bucks! Still gorgeous, still soft, still smooth and no stickiness. That is what lotions containing Hydrovance can do! Lotions are super moisturizers for any time, not just before a shower like I love to do. I appreciate the super feeling on my skin. Use anywhere! I particularly like creams that I can massage into elbows, legs, arms and feet while relaxing from a stressful day. Replace the glycerin content in any recipe with Hydrovance. You will be so amazed by the long term moisturizing that Hydrovance has over glycerin. Here is your challenge to find the true capability of Hydrovance in comparison to glycerin. Make two lotions from the same recipe, except one recipe uses glycerin and the other uses Hydrovance. Apply these lotions to your legs, one leg gets the glycerin formula, the other gets the Hydrovance formula. You can use before daily activity or before the shower as I like to do. Compare your legs after 1 hour, again after 3 hours. Which feels smoother? The Hydrovance leg does! Use 1 to 20% in any recipe. 16 fl oz weighs approximately 19.8 ounces; 1 gallon weighs approximately 9.35 lbs. 516-8436 16 fl oz Hydrovance $4.25 516-8437 1 Gallon Hydrovance $24.60 516-8438 4 Gallons Hydrovance $85.00

Rosemary Oleoresin

MSDS

Commonly known as ROE, Rosemary Oil Extract. Rosemary Oleoresin is a oil soluble antioxidant. This means it protects vulnerable oils from oxidation, which causes the smell of rancid oil. Use just like Vitamin E Acetate or Vitamin E Natural, in products which need or benefit from antioxidants. This dark yellow green fluid has an herbaceous odor and is best suited for items where the scent is complementary. I love foot scrubs with peppermint, rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils and any fixed oil with Rosemary Oleoresin added. I am not the type to enjoy heavily scented foot creams so it isn't like these essential oils overpower the odor of the oleoresin. We have had so many requests to carry this antioxidant and now it is available through our catalog. Enjoy!

For lotions replace the liquid glycerin with sodium lactate, in soaps use up to 1/2 ounce per lb of fats to harden the bar. Produced from renewable resources and completely biodegradable makes sodium lactate a better choice when moisturization is desired. Studies have shown sodium lactate to be a better short term and long term moisturizer than glycerin, our long loved friend. Try the tests for yourself. Make your favorite lotion twice, once with glycerin and once with sodium lactate. Apply the lotion to your leg or arm twice daily for 2 weeks. We are sure you will notice the difference. Sodium lactate is less sticky when compared to liquid glycerin so if you are trying to formulate to make a less sticky lotion use sodium lactate instead of glycerin.
