LAVENDER HYDROLATE

Lavender water cleanses and nourishes the skin well, moderately moisturizes it, relieves irritation, inflammation, redness, peeling. Suitable for all skin types. Makes the skin elastic, prevents the formation of wrinkles, relieves pain and burning sensation in case of sunburn.

Lavender water has a pronounced bactericidal activity, antiseptic properties. Lotions from lavender water treat acne, eczema. In gynecology, douching with lavender water is recommended for whites. Compresses with lavender water heated to 38-40 degrees are effective for joint and rheumatic pains.

Bath with lavender water is a strong sedative, relieves mental and physical stress, relieves irritability and excitability.

Lavender hydrolat is great for kids. When caring for newborns, it can be added to the bath, used to clean the skin, combined with chamomile, used for skin rashes. Spraying lavender water in the nursery and on the parents' clothes will help the baby sleep better. Use it to wash cuts, scratches and wounds (including adults). For irritability and temper tantrums, lavender water can be added to a bath or sprayed directly onto bedding for better sleep.

ALLANTOIN

Allantoin is widely used in the cosmetic industry as part of various creams, it has a dual effect on the skin: it softens the stratum corneum, facilitating the separation of dead cells, and stimulates tissue regeneration. It is introduced into the composition of cosmetic products to narrow pores, soften the skin, including those intended for the care of weathered or sun-burnt skin. Allantoin has a softening and moisturizing effect on the skin and hair, tightens pores, and also stimulates wound healing and renewal of epidermal cells. When in contact with the skin, allantoin has a keratolytic effect. It softens the stratum corneum, helping to remove dead cells. Due to this property, allantoin effectively prevents clogging of pores, the formation of comedones (black dots) and inflammatory elements. It has antioxidant activity, which means it is an effective component in anti-aging products. The drug is especially recommended for skin care in conditions of increased environmental aggression (wind, sun, frost, significant changes in temperature and humidity, in high mountains, etc.).

BETAIN

Natural (sugar) betaine is a completely natural product. It is found in plants and animals, especially crustaceans. Our Natural Betaine is a pure, refined raw material derived from sugar beet juice. It belongs to the class of amino acids and has a wide range of cosmetic properties, the main of which are active moisturizing, conditioning and relieving skin irritation.

Betaine is used in skin care as a humectant and stabilizer due to its unique moisturizing properties. It also protects cell membranes. Because of its highly visible ability to improve (condition) the appearance of the skin and improve the fluidity of formulations, betaine is ideal for a wide range of cosmetic applications.

Natural betaine, obtained using a patented Finnish technology, also contains another natural substance - inositol. Inositol belongs to the class of sugar alcohols with vitamin characteristics. Inositol is a structural part of cell membranes and, as part of cosmetics, stimulates skin respiration at the cellular level.

Recent research on the osmotic strategy of betaine in human cells supports the leading role of betaine in maximizing skin hydration. Betaine also increases the aqueous solubility of active formulations, allowing salicylic acid and allantoin formulas to be formulated at room temperature.

D-PANTHENOL

D-Panthenol is a component created on the basis of B vitamins with moisturizing properties. Promotes the restoration of skin cells and tissue regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, increases the strength of collagen fibers.

Restores violations of the integrity of the skin caused by mechanical, chemical, temperature factors or after surgical interventions: - burns of various origins (including solar); scratches, abrasions, wounds; bedsores. Inflammatory processes on the skin.

It is used to treat and prevent the consequences of adverse effects on the skin of environmental factors (cold, wind, dampness), cracks and inflammation of the nipples of the breast in nursing mothers.

It is also used to treat and protect dry skin as a source of neutral fats and dexpanthenol.

ALMOND OIL

Light nourishing oil. It contains vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant that slows down cell aging and eliminates inflammation on the skin, as well as vitamin F, which normalizes the function of the sebaceous glands and prevents pore expansion, promotes hair growth and maintains elasticity and shine.
Gives the skin a healthy, beautiful color
Contains a lot of oleic acid, thanks to which it is easily absorbed and distributed over the skin. It softens the skin well, but in its pure form it can be comedogenic.
It has anti-inflammatory, rejuvenating, nourishing, moisturizing, anti-burn, analgesic and softening effect.

EMULSIFIER

Emulsifier BTMS is a vegetable emulsifier with a conditioning effect for hair and skin. Exceptionally soft, it is obtained from natural vegetable oil of rapeseed and palm. Typically commercial hair conditioners contain very aggressive conditioning agents (ammonium compounds) which have a high irritant and toxic profile. Therefore, we chose an environmentally friendly conditioner that does not irritate.
BTMS offers innovative features - natural composition, softness for the skin, emulsifying, as well as conditioning properties. Creams and skin milks prepared with this emulsifier leave a soft, powdery feel on the skin. Due to its exceptional softness, it is used in leave-in hair conditioners that make hair shiny, manageable, and easier to style and comb wet hair.
BTMS can be used as the sole emulsifier for making cream and milk. Another unique feature is that this emulsifier can emulsify large amounts of silicones (up to 50% in a recipe).

Cosmetic properties:
- vegetable origin and exceptional softness for the scalp and face
- multifunctional: emulsifier and conditioner for hair and skin
- conditioning effect on the skin and hair, leaves hair soft and silky
- due to its affinity with hair keratin, it removes static electricity from the hair
- hair is easy to comb
- emulsions with a silky texture, leaving a soft and powdery feeling on the skin
- does not irritate the skin and eyes when the recommended dosages are observed
- the best harmless and natural alternative to industrial hair conditioners that can irritate the skin and are not environmentally friendly

PHENYLTRIMETHICON

Used as a water repellant (tanning lotions)
- used as an active ingredient in sunscreens, increases the SPF factor
- used to reduce stickiness and stickiness in skin creams and lotions (creams, shaving lotions)
- promotes even distribution of active ingredients over the skin surface
- prevents the whitening effect of deodorants - the appearance of whitish stains on the skin and on clothes
- sweat inhibitor (reduces sweating)

PEARL POWDER

Pearl powder and pearl powder are crushed natural natural pearls and mother-of-pearl, formed in the shells of some bivalve mollusks.
Pearl powder is used for cosmetic purposes, for whitening and strengthening teeth, as well as for the treatment of skin inflammations, burns, faster healing of wounds, etc.

Cosmetic effect of pearl powder:

Moisturizes, restores and nourishes the skin

Enriches the skin with essential nutrients

It has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and anti-allergic effects

Regulates the water balance of the skin

Protects from UV rays

Stimulates blood circulation, promotes active cell regeneration

Protects against the formation of age spots and whitens them

Evens out complexion, mattifies

When using pearl powder, the skin becomes more elastic, fresh, elastic, matte, silky, a healthy glow appears, wrinkles are smoothed out. At the same time, pearl powder helps to treat burns, wounds, inflammation, itching, and removes pigmentation.

First you need to figure out what it is?

Unlike a direct emulsion, which is a suspension of oil droplets in an aqueous medium, an inverse emulsion has a completely opposite structure. In it, water droplets are enclosed in an oil phase.

Reverse emulsions are superior to direct emulsions in many ways.

First of all, they use emulsifiers with a low HLB value, which can significantly reduce the negative effect of surfactants on the skin.

And at the same time, there are results of comparative studies of the caring effect of two types of emulsions, in which creams based on inverse emulsions were recognized as the undisputed leader in nutritional and moisturizing value.

These qualities are especially relevant with the onset of cold weather, when the skin is more exposed to temperature changes and dry, air-conditioned indoor air.

In the autumn-winter period, many begin to feel discomfort, dryness, tightness and peeling, and creams based on reverse emulsions are the best way to help cope with these problems.

So, let's consider the preparation of inverse emulsions using the example of two emulsifiers Neocare and Izinov.

Both emulsifiers have a low HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value and are capable of forming water-in-oil inverse emulsions.

"W/O emulsions have a slightly different structure than O/W emulsions and consist of dispersed water droplets within an outer lipophilic phase,

Enriched at the boundaries with an emulsifier of the W / M type, and a crystalline gel structure from fats with a high melting point (waxes, stearins),

In which liquid fats are bound. H. Kaser

To obtain a stable emulsion, several factors are necessary:

1. Two phases: water - water gel of medium viscosity (sepiplus, xanthan, hyaluronic acid), oil - melted oils and emulsifier.

2 Pour water into oil, not vice versa.

3. The mixing of the two phases must be carried out first with a mixer, and then mixed manually at low speeds with an ordinary stick until it cools completely.
4. Inverse emulsions do not like sudden movements. Connect two phases, i.e. it is necessary to pour water into the oil gradually, add the next portion only after the previous one has been completely mixed into the emulsion. It also needs to be cooled down gradually.

5. The inclusion of solid oils such as mango, shea, beeswax can further increase the stability of the system.

6. It is necessary to accurately dose the emulsifier; in the reverse emulsion, exceeding the recommended dosages leads to the opposite effect, i.e. the more emulsifier, the less stable the system.

7. An increase in the amount of oils leads to a dilution of the emulsion and vice versa. The more water, the more viscous the emulsion becomes.

A comparative analysis of two emulsifiers (Neocare and Izinov) showed that both emulsifiers are capable of producing stable emulsions with different types of viscosity, subject to the rules.

However, they have a slight difference. Isin-based emulsions are more plastic and they are just flawlessly snow-white!

Whereas Neocare-based emulsions are more viscous and have a yellowish tint.

A hand-made facial skin cream differs, for example, from face mask recipes by a greater complexity and a more time-consuming creation process. It is necessary to separate the so-called fatty creams, or ointments, and emulsions. For the preparation of ointments, the fatty components are fused without adding water. Emulsion face creams prepared at home contain water and oil phases to which active ingredients are added.

What should be considered when preparing recipes for homemade face cream and what is now considered trendy? ( see below for details).

The most common do-it-yourself cream recipes

In modern home-made creaming, not ointments, but emulsion creams are especially popular. Ointments are absorbed worse, leave a greasy sheen on the skin of the face with a simultaneous feeling of stickiness. Among the emulsion creams, out of the two "rival trends", in the struggle between direct and reverse emulsions, the direct emulsion - oil in water - wins. What is the difference?

• direct emulsion- oil in water (o / w) - less oil, and more water (oil drops are surrounded by an aqueous medium).
• Reverse emulsion- water in oil (w / m) - water, drops of which are in an oily environment, is less than oil.

Homemade cream based on direct emulsion is more popular due to better absorption, “lightness” and lack of oily sheen. Therefore, the corresponding recipes for a face cream at home are more common on the Web.

DIY face cream: recipes as a combination of 3 phases

Three phases of homemade creams in recipes are usually indicated by abbreviations without additional decoding: VF, ZhF, AF. Therefore, if you, for the first time, encounter the topic of creaming, see a recipe for making homemade face cream, it will remind you of a complex mathematical formula with percentages, abbreviations and solution steps. Partly it is. But in order not to intimidate in vain, we will decipher it right away.

WF (water phase)

Used:

• Purified water (deionized, distilled, sterilized,),
• Hydrosols are a condensate that is obtained from plant raw materials when essential oils are obtained by steam.
• water soluble gelling agents.

LF (fatty phase) DIY face cream recipes

Are used:

• Fixed oils.
• Emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers/thickeners.
• Emollients to improve tactile sensations (squalane, triglycerides, silicones).

The choice of emulsifier is carried out according to the value of the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), which is sometimes calculated using online calculators.

• Emulsifiers with an HLB value of up to 6 form inverse emulsions (w/o).
• Emulsifiers with an HLB value greater than 7 form direct emulsions (o/w).
• Emulsifiers with an intermediate value of 6 to 7 can form both types of emulsion.

AF (active phase)DIY face cream recipes

Components are used that create the main effect in solving the problem (rejuvenation, hydration, nutrition, etc.)

Active Ingredients in Homemade Face Cream Recipe

Given that the entire composition of the face cream is 100%, then:

• For young facial skin, a sufficient proportion of the active phase is 5-10%.
• For aging skin, depending on the degree of aging and individual properties - 15-20%.

When making creams, keep in mind that oily skin perceives a large proportion of the oily phase worse, therefore, sometimes the components of the oil are replaced with non-comedogenic emollients, trying not to exceed 25-30% of the total share of the oily phase in the homemade cream recipe.

DIY face cream: ingredients in stores and pharmacies

As it usually happens, we have not managed to buy all the components of home cosmetics in one store even once. But found one with a decent amount

Light and gentle emulsion suitable for any type of skin. It evens out the complexion, gives the skin a natural glow and eliminates small pigment spots and irregularities. And also additionally tones the skin, moisturizes and nourishes it.

If you have never been fond of hand-made, we recommend that you take up this hobby right now, as it is not only exciting, but also beneficial for your health and beauty. You can easily get acquainted with the recipe for a rejuvenating emulsion and cook it yourself at home.

To prepare a whitening emulsion, we need the following ingredients

Oily phase

Water phase

• Hydrolat Neroli - 45 gr.
• D-panthenol - 1 gr.
• Cationic guar gum - 0.1 gr.

active phase

• Lemon essential oil - 3 drops.
• Lactic acid 80% - 2 drops.
• Essential oil of parsley leaves - 4 drops.
• Extract subcritical CO2 Licorice - 1 gr.

Method for preparing a whitening emulsion

For cooking, we need a clean container for mixing all the ingredients, as well as a kitchen scale so that they can be accurately measured.

Oily phase

We will start preparing the emulsion with the fatty phase. To do this, we measure Beeswax - 0.5 grams and emulsifier Sorbitan Monostearate (SPAN - 60) - 1.8 grams into a container. We send the container with the added ingredients to a water bath until completely melted. Once the wax and emulsifier are melted, you can start adding the following components.

Without removing the container from the water bath, put the Butter Mango - 5 grams.

Water phase

In order to properly prepare the aqueous phase, the first step is to dissolve cationic guar gum - 0.1 grams in D-panthenol - 1 gram.

As soon as the gum has dissolved in D-panthenol, add Neroli Hydrolat - 45 grams. The container with the aqueous phase, as well as the fatty phase, is sent to a water bath and heated to 75 ° C.

Our two phases have warmed up to the desired temperature and now we can start mixing them. To mix both phases, gently gradually pour the water phase into the oil phase. After that, the resulting mixture must be thoroughly mixed with a mixer.

active phase

First of all, add lemon essential oil - 3 drops and parsley leaf essential oil - 4 drops to the container with our prepared mixture.

The final component will be a subcritical CO2 extract of Licorice - 1 gram.

We have finished adding all the ingredients and our serum is almost ready. It remains only to mix it thoroughly and transfer it to a cosmetic container convenient for use. Use the serum before bed.

Anyone, even a novice metalworking specialist, knows that when performing turning work on a machine, it is imperative to use cutting fluids (coolants). The use of such technical fluids (their composition may vary) allows you to solve several important problems at the same time:

• cooling of the cutter, which is actively heated during processing (respectively, extending its service life);
• improving the surface finish of the workpiece;
• increasing the productivity of the metal cutting process.

Types of coolant used in turning

All types of coolant used for turning work on the machine are divided into two large categories.

Water based coolant
Oil-based coolant

Such liquids remove heat from the processing area much worse, but provide excellent lubrication of the surfaces of the workpiece and tool.

Among the most common coolants that are used in metal processing on lathes, the following can be noted.

• A solution of soda ash (1.5%) in boiled water. Such a liquid is used when performing rough turning on a lathe.
• An aqueous solution containing 0.8% soda and 0.25% sodium nitrite, which increases the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant. It is also used for rough turning on the machine.
• A solution consisting of boiled water and trisodium phosphate (1.5%), almost identical in its cooling effect to liquids containing soda ash.
• An aqueous solution containing trisodium phosphate (0.8%) and sodium nitrite (0.25%). It has improved anti-corrosion properties and is also used in rough turning on lathes.
• A solution based on boiled water, containing in its composition a special potassium soap (0.5–1%), soda ash or trisodium phosphate (0.5–0.75%), sodium nitrite (0.25%).

• Water-based solution containing 4% potassium soap and 1.5% soda ash. Coolants, which contain soap, are used when performing roughing, as well as shaped turning on a lathe. Potassium soap, if necessary, can be replaced by any other soap that does not contain chloride compounds.
• A solution based on water, to which emulsol E-2 (2–3%) and technical soda ash (1.5%) are added. Coolant of this type is used when, for the cleanliness of the machined surface of which there are no high requirements. With the use of such an emulsion, workpieces can be machined at high speeds.
• An aqueous solution containing 5–8% emulsol E-2 (B) and 0.2% soda or trisodium phosphate. With the use of such a coolant, fine turning is performed on a lathe.
• An aqueous solution containing emulsol based on oxidized petrolatum (5%), soda (0.3%) and sodium nitrite (0.2%). You can use such an emulsion when performing roughing, as well as finishing turning on the machine, it allows you to obtain surfaces of higher purity.
• An oil-based fluid containing 70% industrial oil 20, 15% 2nd grade linseed oil, 15% kerosene. Coolant of this composition is used in cases where high-precision threads are cut and workpieces are processed with expensive shaped cutters.

• Sulfofrezol is an oily cutting fluid activated with sulfur. This coolant is used when turning with a small cut section. When performing rough work, characterized by active and significant heating of the tool and workpiece, the use of such coolant can be harmful to the machine operator, as it emits volatile sulfur compounds.
• A solution consisting of 90% sulfofresol and 10% kerosene. Such a liquid is used for threading, as well as for deep drilling and finishing workpieces.
• Pure kerosene - is used when it is necessary to process workpieces made of aluminum and its alloys on a lathe, as well as when finishing using oscillating abrasive bars.

Features of the use of cutting fluids

For the use of coolant to be effective, a few simple rules should be considered. The flow rate of such a liquid (regardless of whether it is an emulsion or an aqueous solution) should be at least 10–15 l / min.

It is very important to direct the coolant flow to the place where the maximum amount of heat is generated. Such a place when performing turning is the area where the chips are separated from the workpiece.

From the very first moment that turning is performed on the machine, the cutting tool begins to heat up actively, so coolant should be applied immediately, and not after some time. Otherwise, with a sharp cooling of a very heated one, cracks may form in it.

More recently, an advanced cooling method has been introduced, which involves the supply of a thin stream of coolant from the back of the cutter. This method of cooling demonstrates particular efficiency when, on a lathe, a tool made of high-speed alloys is required to process a workpiece made of hard-to-cut materials.

It should be borne in mind that coolant is not used in turning materials that are highly brittle (cast iron, bronze, etc.), in which small chips are formed. Such shavings, mixed with the cutting fluid, can clog the elements of the caliper, carriages and guide beds, which leads not only to their premature wear, but also to failure.
