Be Creative...

Interesting cosmetic laboratory workout..
we were assigned to make rouge, or the most common term.. blush
available in 3 dosage forms, liquid, cream, and dry solid form
ppl would mostly prefer the dry one..
not that messy compared to the other 2
we were asked to prepare cream and dry powder type
4 in a group instead of 5..
the guys(ZK, KY) chose to do the powder..*thought that would be easy*
poor guy..leave the tough job for the girls..
lol..SL and me did for the cream type..
mixing powder seems to be an easy task but it's not..*haha*
they complaint of tired after a while of trituration*lol*
making cream, however, is easy but challenging
to make a nice and stable cream, it requires good techniques
mixing the oily and the aqueous phase at almost at the right temperature,
gentle mixing for bonding*haha*
applying the physical pharmacy's knowledge..
cocoa butter, melt at temp less than 60C
i made the coloured cream and SL did for the colourless base...
then, we mix em' for 5 different colour...
sounds interesting right??
mix the colour u like..
as Dr Yvonne said: "for this course, you got to be creative"
Our next practical would be more interesting..
making blush using lipsticks..
mixing colours to your preference...
