Spraying #
- Not spraying – if your shimmer mist is not spraying, it is probably because the sprayer cap is not compatible. We recommend using fine mist sprayers for our Shimmer Mist Base. We recommend testing your desired sprayers before committing to packaging in high volumes. We will always provide our sample bottles with a compatible sprayer.
Sinking Shimmer #
- If your shimmer in your Glamorous Shimmer Mist Base is sinking the most likely reason is there was too much fragrance oil added. When you add higher percentages of fragrance to this base, it will collapse it’s suspending capability. We recommend testing in small batches, starting at 0.5% fragrance, and testing up to 5%. We also recommend letting your product rest for 24 hours after testing different fragrance percentages in order to determine if the shimmer will sink over time with the added fragrance load.
Colorant #
- You can add FD&C colorants to this base. We recommend using our liquid colorants to add color to your shimmer mist. Simply add a small amount at a time and thoroughly mix until your desired pigment is reached.
Rancid Smell or Discoloration #
If you detect a rancid odor or discoloration in your product, it is probable that the product has become contaminated. To prevent contamination, we advise following these steps when formulating and repackaging your product:
- Cleanliness – Ensure that all equipment, tools, and packaging materials are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before use. This includes containers, mixing utensils, and any other items that come into contact with the base.
- Proper storage – Store your product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Exposure to excessive heat or light can degrade the product and promote bacterial growth.
- Good manufacturing practices – Adhere to strict hygiene practices during formulation and repackaging. Use gloves to minimize contact and prevent contamination from your hands. Avoid touching the inside of containers or bottles that will be used for packaging.
- Controlled environment – Work in a clean and controlled environment, minimizing airborne contaminants and dust particles. Consider using air purifiers or working in a designated cleanroom if possible.
- Batch testing – Perform regular batch testing to ensure the quality and stability of your product. This can include microbial testing, pH measurement, and visual inspections for any signs of contamination or spoilage.
- Non-reactive tools – When incorporating additives or transferring your product into packaging, it is crucial to use non-reactive tools to avoid any unwanted chemical reactions. Reactive mixing or filling tools, such as metal containers, pumps, or mixing tools, can potentially interact with ingredients like antioxidants or specific fragrances, leading to product contamination, discoloration, or unpleasant odors. To prevent these issues, we recommend utilizing materials like plastic, glass, or non-reactive metals such as stainless steel. By opting for non-reactive tools, particularly stainless steel, you can ensure the integrity and quality of your products remain uncompromised.
