| Solvents & Stabilizers |
| Stabilizers comprise a variety of compounds that are able to maintain the function and activity of other ingredients such as, for example, active ingredients, fragrances and essential oils. In this group there are also several agents that are used for stabilizing the pH value thereby avoiding excessive acidity or alkalinity. A balanced pH value is particularly important for creating stable emulsions. As many ingredients are barely soluble in water special solvents may be necessary to bring such ingredients into solution. Typical solvents include glycerin and propylene glycol. |

| Zinc Oxides: Which One is Right for You? |
| Regular zinc oxide has
a particle size of >200 nm (nanometer), a visible whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, gives great coverage in makeup products and lip balms, and
offers good protection in baby care products. Micronized zinc oxide has a particle size of <200nm (mean 86nm), has a minimal whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, offers superior sun protection but does not offer coverage in makeup products. Micronized zinc oxide coated with silicone offers basically the same features as non-coated micronized zinc oxide but is easier to disperse in oils, and works well in formulas containing carbomers. |
