Where are you?
Right, let's get this community going properly. I know some of you have been here a while, and it's been a bit quiet. That's on me, and I'm changing that. I'm building this into a proper space for formulators who want to go beyond the hobby and build something real. I'd love to know where you are right now: are you still experimenting at home, or are you starting to think about turning this into a business? Drop a number: 1 = still playing, 2 = thinking about going pro, 3 = already in business mode.

I am in Canada on the West Coast. I am also sort of #3. I sell to friends and a smallish local community. Have registered business but have not taken things any further yet.

Last month we had a call and I explained the kelp water I made to use as the water phase. I preserved it ...then added to the formulation. We spoke about adjusting the final amount of preservative. Question...can I use 2 different preservatives? I tried the formula in your new app but it didn't fit the criteria. I used Liquid germal plus of the kelp water( to be sure it was broad spectrum) then used Geogard ect for final cream. Is this ok? Also...a little unsure how to adjust the final amount of preservative. Hope this is clear😅. Thanks

Dipslides for quality control
@Cindy Curtis Here are the dipslides I was referring to. Perhaps you can find similar ones near you. https://dip-slides.com/cosmetic/35-cosmetics-dipslides-box-of-10.html?srsltid=AfmBOorw-SURj_3USMC6QoGbZVX3WyOnMU1NfMWcMnSB6sqlEfDNOmdJ

Seeking Testers for FormuGuard App! 🧪
Hey everyone, I'm reaching out for some help with my app called FormuGuard, which I've been developing for months. This app is designed to assist formulators in selecting preservatives based on various criteria like pH and specific ingredients. I need fresh eyes to test it and provide feedback before I make it live on Thursday. If you're interested in helping out, please leave a comment under this post so I can share the details with you. Your feedback will be invaluable to me!
