We all learn from an early age at school that Oil and Water don't mix.
What if we told you that they actually DO mix?
When we set out to formulate our latest Jamaican Black Castor Oil line, Dr. Syed wanted to include a light sprayable product that still contained a potent payload of JBCO.
JBCO has tremendous moisture benefits for curly hair.
Though the use of oils in hair care is nothing new, JBCO does not work well in products due its large particle size, affecting most formulations stability (starts to separate).
Some brands have attempted to utilize JBCO, albeit as a smaller percentage of the total formula, which defeats the purpose of including it in the first place.
We didn't want to be just another company using an ingredient just for the sake of marketing.
We wanted to utilize JBCO at higher percentages.
On top of that, we wanted a sprayable JBCO product, something thats never been done before.
Sprayable Oil products are difficult products to formulate due natural polarity forces.
So how did we do it?
Thanks to wonderful power of Chemistry and the latest manufacturing processes, Dr. Syed set out to create a nano-emulsion of Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Ceramides, and Vitamin C & Vitamin E.
Through the use of Chemical Energy and Mechanical Energy, we created a Nano-JBCO Emulsion.
But whats a Nano-Emulsion, you say? Whats an Emulsion even?
An Emulsion is a fine mixture of liquid droplets mixed into another liquid, that typically wouldn't be able to mix together otherwise.
But in the case of JBCO, typical emulsifiers aren't capable to breaking down the particle size enough so that it can be stably used in a formulation.
Our Chemists and Engineers were able to develop a process that creates Nano Emulsions that can not only be used in formulations, but even as a standalone sprayable product.
A Nano-Emulsion is an even smaller and finer mixture of larger particles (JBCO), so that the new much smaller particles disperse more easily into formulations.
