Issue #110: Surfactants - What Are They and What Do I Do With Them?

$12.99

Published Jan/Feb 2022

Although most average citizens know very little about them, surfactants are an important part of day-to-day living. They make up products in more ways than we can name. Our bodies even produce them! In soap and cosmetics, they clean, emulsify, condition, thicken, opacify, improve spreading, foam and solubilize. Some are even anti-microbial. 

If your first instinct is to think you would never use surfactants, think again. You not only use them, but they could open a whole new world of making. If you sell, you can add to your product line.

Get that cuppa and relax while you read this issue. You deserve it.
