Active Ingredients
Nowadays active ingredients (or cosmeceuticals) are the essence of many skin care products turning them from simple formulas to effective, functional, drug-like products. Typically, such ingredients include vitamins, botanicals, enzymes, peptides, and offer various functions like anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects, soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, skin-lightening, and skin regenerating effects. A predominant group of active ingredients include anti-aging ingredients. In general, they slow down degenerative processes as they occur in the aging skin, and at the same time stimulate regenerative processes including: production of collagen, prevention of water loss, replenishing the skin with natural lipids, maintenance of the skin cell homeostasis, and prevention of oxidant degeneration.

Anti-Aging & Anti-Wrinkle Agents

There are various ingredients known to have age-preventing effects in skin cells helping to slow down degenerative processes as they occur in the aging skin. Regenerative processes include stimulation of the production of collagen, prevention of water loss, replenishing the skin with natural lipids, maintenance of the skin cell homeostasis, and prevention of oxidant degeneration.

Vitamin C in Silicone

(Ascorbic acid)

Proteins
Proteins are widely used active ingredients in both skin and hair care products. Their main benefits include good moisturizing, conditioning, and excellent film-forming properties. To make proteins suitable to be incorporated into water based cosmetic products, they need to be converted into soluble form. This is usually done by hydrolyzation, a process where the protein is cut into smaller parts. Proteins most often used include collagen, elastin, keratin, milk, and silk (from silkworm) but also vegetable proteins such as wheat and corn gluten, soy, rice and oat protein. Soy proteins are useful also due to their gelling and emulsifying effects.

Oily Skin Regulators

Sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum (tallow) that is made of fat (lipids) and the debris of dead fat-producing cells. In the glands, sebum is produced within specialized cells and is released as these cells burst. Sebum is odorless, but its bacterial breakdown can produce odors. Hyperactive sebaceous glands produce too much sebum which is the cause of oily hair or skin and may also cause acne and dandruff. An important part of the acne and dandruff treatment is therefore the reduction of the sebum production.

Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Acids

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) work mainly as an exfoliant. They cause the dead skin cells to slough off, making room for regrowth of new skin. AHA's may even also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and are reported to improve wrinkling, roughness, and mottled pigmentation of photodamaged skin after months of daily application. AHA's in skin-care products work best in a concentration of 5% to 8% and at a pH of 3 to 4. Beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid are a topical exfoliant that can reverse some of the effects of photoaging such as fine wrinkles and discolored skin.

Skin-Lightening Agents
Skin may appear darker than normal and may be blotchy, uneven areas, or patches of brown to gray discoloration or freckling. Skin pigmentation disorders occur because the body produces either too much or too little melanin (skin pigment). Increased melanin production, known as hyperpigmentation, is often referred to as melasma (general term describing darkening of the skin), chloasma (discolorations caused by hormones) or solar lentigines (darkened spots caused by the sun). In addition, hyperpigmentation can be caused by skin damage, such as remnants of blemishes, wounds or rashes. Skin-lighteners (like bearberry leaves extract and undecylenoyl phenylalanine) work in that they inhibit enzymes or other key components in the melanin synthesis. Many treatments use a combination of melanin-inhibiting ingredients along with a sunscreen, and a prescription retinoid. Depending on how the skin responds to these treatments, exfoliants may also be used either in the form of topical cosmetic or chemical peels. Since the production of melanin is suppressed only as long as the enzymes are inhibited, skin cells will eventually resume producing and depositing melanin pigments once treatment with skin-lighteners has been stopped.

Humectants
Humectants (or moisturizers) are important ingredients allowing to prevent loss of moisture thereby retaining the skin's natural moisture. Some compounds also have the ability to actively attract moisture. Moisture balance in the upper layer of the skin is controlled by the presence of sebum and surface lipids. By preventing the loss of moisture to the environment, humectants indirectly soften and increase the flexibility of the skin. Humectants are thus key ingredients in most skin care products but also in hair care products to volumize the hair. There is a large variety of humectants including proteins, acids, polysaccharides, and others (e.g. glycerine, sorbitol, urea, aloe vera).

Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are used in creams and lotions to mix water with oils. Since water and oil do not mix but stay separated, an additional agent (emulsifier) is necessary to form a homogenous mixture keeping water and oil together. There are 2 types of emulsifiers. Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsifiers keep oil drops packed in water, while water-in-oil (w/o) emulsifiers keep water drops packed in oil. W/O emulsifiers are used for a fatty feel (e.g. night & sun protection creams). O/W emulsifiers are used primarily in moisturizing products (e.g. body lotions, day creams). There are also blends of several different emulsifiers which are called emulsifying waxes. Typically, they contain 2-5 compounds. We gave them the name CreamMakers.

Instant Cold Emulsifiers

Instant cold emulsions (ICE) are a brand new, patent-pending ingredient that allows to make high-quality creams and lotions instantly by just mixing ICE powder with water. ICE powders deliver wax into an emulsion without the use of heat. The physical form of the ingredient is a powder, and when mixed with water, turns quickly into a cream or lotion. The combination of water and ICE powder induces polarity from a non-polar material. Oils, esters, preservatives and other active ingredients can be incorporated into this base and can be mixed directly into the emulsion.

Emulsion 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.

The HLB System

A common method for choosing an emulsifier is the HydrophilicLipophilic Balance (HLB) system which uses a scale of 0 to 20 based on their affinity for oil and water. Emulsifiers with low HLBvalues are more lipophilic (bind oils), while higher HLB compounds are hydrophilic (bind water). In general, emulsifiers with HLB-values of 3 8 give w/o-emulsions, whereas those with values of above 9 are more water-soluble and result in o/w-emulsions. Emulsifier Properties Depending on the HLB Value HLB 1 - 3: Antifoaming Properties HLB 3 - 8: w/o-Emulsification HLB 7 - 9: Wetting Properties HLB 9 - 18: o/w-Emulsification HLB 15 - 20: Solubilizing Properties

How to Avoid Unstable Emulsions

Although emulsifiers help stabilize the oil and water phase, emulsions are still inherently unstable and eventually will separate. The speed at which this occurs depends on the composition of the emulsion. There are 3 ways how an emulsion can destabilize: Creaming or Sedimentation: A fatty cream appears due to the assembly of the large drops(example: unhomogenized milk). Creaming can be reversed by agitation. Flocculation: Small flocci are formed. Flocculation is not a serious destabilization since it can be reversed also by agitation. Coalescence: The oily and watery phase are completely separated due to merging droplets to form large drops. Coalescence is irreversible. By selecting the adequate emulsifier (w/o or o/w type) and using it at an appropriate concentration, everybody can make great emulsions without expert knowledge.

Thickeners
Thickeners form a very important group of ingredients for formulating personal care products. In general, thickeners enhance the consistency, volume and viscosity of a product, thereby providing more stability, better performance, and often also a nicer appearance. While some thickeners have also emulsifying or gelling properties, the majority of thickeners have the ability to retain water on the skin and act therefore also as moisturizers. Thickeners can be all-natural like waxes or gums but many are synthetic. Typically, thickeners have a polymeric structure like gums, polysaccharides, proteins, silicones, or cellulose but they can also be small molecules as sodium salt (e.g. in shampoos), alcohols, or waxes.

Natural Waxes
Waxes are complex mixtures of alcohols, fatty acids and esters. They are harder, less greasy and more brittle than fats, and are very resistant to moisture, oxidation and microbial degradation.

Polymers & Other Thickeners

Polymers represent a significant share of raw materials used in cosmetics. Both natural and synthetic polymers are used as thickening agents, film formers, resinous powders, and humectants. Polymers are molecules consisting of a large number of identical units. The number of the repeat units is called the degree of polymerization. Polymers can be classified into natural polymers like proteins (e.g. keratin), sugars (e.g. gums) and synthetic polymers like petroleum-based polymers (e.g. acrylic esters) and silicones. Most natural and synthetic polymers have various properties and can be used in different functions such as thickeners, gel builders, styling agents, fixatives, conditioners, pearlizers, emollient, and film-formers.

Waxes Used in Personal Care Products

Beeswax: It is the purified wax from the honeycomb of the bee Apis Mellifera. For each eight pounds of honey made by the bee, one pound of wax is produced. The primary component of beeswax are esters (more than 70%) of which myricyl palmitate forms the main part. Beeswax comes usually as white flakes with a faint honey odor. It is soluble in oils and warm alcohol, but insoluble in water or cold alcohol. Beeswax is used primarily as thickener and emollient, but has also emulsifying properties. It is used in a large variety of cosmetic products and personal care products. Carnauba Wax: It comes from the leaves of the Brazilian palm Copernicia Cerifera. It is the hardest natural wax known, with a melting point above 80oC (176oF). These properties make carnauba wax very unique and often carnauba wax is used mainly for its hardness and high melting point. Carnauba wax contains more esters (about 85%) but less wax acids (2-3%) compared to beeswax. Carnauba wax can raise the melting point of oils and fats making it an important ingredient for solid sticks (e.g. lipsticks) to prevent them from melting upon sun exposure. Candelilla Wax: It is produced from the stems of the Mexican weed Euphorbia Cerifera. Candelilla wax consists of only 35% esters, but of more than 50% hydrocarbons. It is therefore much softer than carnauba wax, but can still raise the melting point of stick cosmetics. Candelilla wax also gives a nice gloss to lipsticks. Mineral Waxes: Mineral waxes used in cosmetics are ozokerite, paraffin, microcrystalline wax, ceresin, and petrolatum. All waxes are derived from various processes of crude oil refining and are purified extensively to allow safe use. Mineral waxes have been widely criticized and avoided in the last few years, mainly because they didnt fit into the new trend of natural cosmetics. However, mineral waxes are a natural product and among the best characterized and clinically tested compounds!

Silicones for a Silky Skin Feel

Silicones (occur in nature as silicates in sand) are polymers with unique properties and have numerous benefits in all aspects of personal care. They are superb emollients providing great slip and can feel like silk on the skin. Silicones also act as skin protectant, conditioner, pearlizer, film-former, moisturizer, thickener, and emulsifier. As silicones are very mild, they are often used to reduce irritation of harsh surfactants. Claims that silicones in any form cause or worsen acne have not been substantiated in research, nor have reports that silicones are irritating or "suffocate" skin.

Cleansing Ingredients
Cleansing agents cleanse and build foam by acting at the surface between fat and water (surfaceactive agents or surfactants). They are able of being mixed with water and fat of the skin, allowing dirt to be removed. Surfactants form the base of all personal cleansing products and can also have wetting, conditioning, emulsifying, & thickening effects. Surfactants are also very useful for making soaps to improve lathering and decrease harshness. They are added to the oil-lye mixture during the boiling procedure. Surfactants greatly accelerate and improve the soap making process.

Surfactants
Based on their cleansing power surfactants are classified into primary and secondary surfactants (= co-surfactants), while the chemical structure determines whether they are anionic, amphoteric, nonionic, or quaternary agents. The primary surfactants are the key components in shampoos responsible for foam and cleansing. The lowfoaming co-surfactants as cocoamidopropyl betaine or sulfosuccinate are used to reduce the irritant (eye burning) and drying effect of the primary surfactants.

Conditioners
Conditioners are special surfactants (quaternary ammonium compounds) carrying positive electrical charges, thereby neutralizing the negative charges of the hair that occur especially on dry hair. The effect is a reduction or elimination of static electricity on the hair and the fly away associated with it. Conditioners also improve detangling, combing and give shine and luster to the hair. Proteins in conditioners help repair damaged hair by refilling shed cuticle scales.

Sun Care Ingredients

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can produce erythema and pigmentation on the skin. When directly exposed to the sun, there is 10 to 100 times more exposure of UVA than UVB. UVB (considered the Burning Ray) has an immediate, harmful impact on the skin within minutes. UVA (considered the Aging Ray), which you do not feel, can damage the skin by penetration deeply into the dermis able of producing premature aging, wrinkles, and tumors. Sun screens are able to avoid chemically or physically UV radiations (UVA and UVB) to penetrate the skin layers. They provide effective protection from the skin damaging effects of the sun rays. Chemical sunscreens act by absorbing UV-light. Physical sunscreens reflect or scatter UV light. Efficacy of sunscreens depends upon their UV-absorption, concentration, formulation, and ability to withstand water.

Sunscreen Labeling Includes Now UVA

The FDA has proposed that sunscreen labeling be expanded to provide a rating system that informs consumers how well the product protects them against "Ultraviolet A" (UVA) light. UVB light is primarily responsible for sunburn. UVA light penetrates the skin more than UVB light does, and causes tanning. Both types of UV light contribute to premature skin aging, skin cancer, and other types of skin damage. Currently, sunscreen labels are required to carry a "Sunburn Protection Factor" (SPF) value that informs consumers how well the product protects against UVB light. Now, a new UVA star rating system is being introduced. More info is available at www.fda.gov/ForConsumers.

Self - Tanners
The most effective sunless tanning product available today is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). As the colorless sugar interacts with the dead skin cells located in the outer layer of the epidermis, a color change occurs which usually lasts about seven to ten days from the initial application. Self-tanners should not be confused with bronzers which can be found in powder or cream form and, unlike self-tanners, can be instantly removed with soap and water. Erythrulose is another selftanning agent that, together with DHA, produces a natural, deep & even tan (DHA alone may create an orange tone & stripes). Erythrulose prolongs the tan and leaves the skin less dry.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
Description: FDA-approved self-tanning agent obtained by bacterial degradation of natural phosphate sugar, pH 4-6, soluble in water & alcohol. Off-white, fine crystalline powder, no odor.

Use: Add to formulas as is, use level 2-8%, DHA may lose its tanning effect (or induce discolorations) when combined with AHAs, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide pigments, or certain perfumes. Applications: All kinds of self-tanning cosmetic products including creams and lotions, cream foundations. 1.8oz 5.4oz 2.2lbs 11lbs 55lbs $8.60 $21.10 $103.90 $418.70 $1,693.90

Fragrances & Preservatives

Cosmetic products become easily contaminated by microbes as cosmetics contain water, oils, peptides, and carbohydrates which form a very good medium for the growth of bacteria and mold. All these factors contribute to the fact that cosmetic products need very good preservation to prevent microbial growth and spoiling of the cosmetic product and also infection of the skin. Preservatives are active ingredients able to prevent the growth bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Fragrances
Our perfume Ingredients are all oils of the highest quality available and are designed especially for personal care products. Most oils are a blend of natural oils and specific aroma compounds which make it possible at all to create stable fragrances and scents. All fragrances are strictly undiluted, full-strength oils that have not been cut with solvents. This allows you to use much less oils. The level of fragrance you will need to use varies according to the product type and personal preference. Typically, a face cream may contain only 0.01% fragrance, while a soap bar might range from 0.5 - 3.0% fragrance.

Colors & Color Blends

Colorants are classified as either organic or inorganic depending on their chemistry. Both organic and inorganic colorants are available in dry form or liquid form dispersed in castor oil. Micas are another important group of colors and very fun to work with. Their colors range way beyond the rainbow, and mixing creates even more unique and beautiful shades. In addition, micas can provide exciting sparkle and glitter effects.

Inorganic Colors
Inorganic colors are composed of insoluble metallic compounds which are mostly derived from natural sources. Based on their composition they are divided into iron oxides, zinc oxides, carbon blacks, chromium oxide greens, and ultramarines. Inorganic colors are used mainly in solid makeup such as lipsticks, lip gloss, powders, and eye liners. As inorganic pigments are not irritant to mucous membranes, they can be used in the eye area.

Organic Colors
Organic colors (lakes and dyes) are chemically complex molecules but are often soluble so that they can be used not only in solid cosmetics, but also in aqueous products as nail lacquer and liquid makeup. Since certain organic colors can be irritant to mucous membranes, they must be certified by the FDA. There are three certifications: FD&C = colors that are for use in food, drug & cosmetics; D&C = colors that are for use in drug & cosmetics including those in contact with mucous membranes; External D&C = colors that are for use in drugs & cosmetics that do not come in contact with mucous membranes.

Our pigment blends are a mixture of different iron oxides including iron oxide yellow, red, brown and black and titanium dioxide. Blends are typically used in foundations and face powders. When further mixed with mica pigments and other cosmetic colors, however, these blends can also be used for making lipstick, lip gloss, eye shadow, blush and lip liner pencils. Many more shades can be created by adding titanium dioxide, more of the various iron oxides, or simply by blending the different pigment blends with each other. When pigment blends are used to make liquid foundation they need to be dispersed in an emollient using a mortar and pestle. Only then the colors will develop fully. Likewise, for making mineral makeup the pigment blends need to be blended with mineral powders using the mortar and pestle.

Rewards Program
MakingCosmetics offers you the opportunity to participate in a Rewards Program. This program provides extra discounts to customers that shop at MakingCosmetics.com. The more you shop, the more opportunities to save money on future orders!

How to Earn Points

For every full $1.00 in product purchases you will earn 1 point. Points will be held in your account as pending until your payment has been approved and the order has shipped. After that your points will become active for loyalty rewards and you are eligible to use your point for savings. Points can also be earned on orders where you redeem your points. Even without creating an account you still can earn reward points. However, only an account allows you to check the status of your earned and used points. Points can be earned only upon launch of the program (10/15/2011). Points cannot be applied retroactively to orders that have been placed before 10/15/2011.

How to Redeem Points

Points can be redeemed at a conversion rate of 40 points per one dollar. So, if you want to pay with your points for an item that costs $20.00, you would have to use 800 points. This redemption conversion rate equates to a savings of 2.5% on each order applicable as a discount on a future order. Reward points can also be combined with coupons. To check your points just log into your account where you can see the point accumulation and the history of orders. The page will also reflect points that have been removed from your account for reasons such as product refunds and point redemption. When you start the checkout process our system will verify the order against your point balance. If you are eligible to redeem points, you will be presented with the opportunity to use points for savings on that order. If you prefer to grow your point bank for larger future savings, you can also save the points and not use them on this order. There is a lag time of 5 days to redeem points earned from a previous order. If you choose to redeem the points, check the box "Use My Reward Points" and the dollar amount of the savings will be shown on your invoice under "Discounts" and the total dollar for products purchased is reduced. Points can not be redeemed when checking out via Paypal Direct, Amazon Checkout, and Google Checkout.
