The Glam Laboratory: January 2011
http://theglamlaboratory.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. I wanted to start the year off with a challenge for my readers- consumers and fellow formulators alike. While natural products are all the rage these days, it can be difficult to find "all natural" products that can compete on all levels with their synthetic counterparts. Before you allow yourself to think that natural formulators need to step it up, allow me to give a little insight. SO HERE'S THE CHALLENGE. Posted by Desiree Mattox. Labels: beauty product challenge.

Friday, June 24, 2011. Cracking the Code: Shea Butter and SPF. On more than one occasion, I have heard and seen shea butter being purported as a sunscreen. While I know this to be untrue, I thought it would be a good idea to explain where this particular shea butter myth comes from, what's true and what's not. Here's to the Glam Life!

Thursday, November 18, 2010. Hair, Hair and More Hair! Wednesday evening, I gave a speech entitled "Hair, Hair and More Hair! At my Toastmasters International club. I covered a lot in that 9min 30sec speech that I have not yet covered here. so, here it goes. :-). How does hair get it's texture? Similarly, the thickness of hair is dependent on the size of the hair follicle. Large follicles produce thick strands of hair while smaller follicles produce thin strands of hair. Due to human adaptation/evolution?

The Glam Laboratory: August 2010

Sunday, August 29, 2010. Since it Can't be Priceless. I promised to start adding a splash of business development posts to the blog, so here's the first. One of the most important things to consider when you're looking to launch a product is the retail price. Often, potential clients ask me. "How much will the product cost? I added it to my bookmarks for future reference, I recommend you do the same. Here's to the Glam Life! Posted by Desiree Mattox. Links to this post. Sunday, August 22, 2010. This is a...

The Glam Laboratory: July 2011
http://theglamlaboratory.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 20, 2011. A Lesson in Chemistry. As usual, I was browsing my twitter timeline when I came across something that made my eyebrows raise. What I read reminded me of how little "normal" people know about chemistry. By normal, I mean people that aren't as nerdily passionate about chemistry as I. Although I'm a cosmetic chemist, I enjoy and have studied all areas of chemistry which leads me to this pet peeve. The elements in a compound alone do not determine the properties of the compound.

The Glam Laboratory: December 2010

Thursday, December 2, 2010. A Lesson in Elasticity. Elasticity is a very important factor in assessing the strength of hair. The elasticity of the hair is an indicator of what styles and/or processes your hair can withstand. When hair has low elasticity, it will not hold a curl well (thermal or wet styled) and it is more prone to damage caused by styling and chemical treatments. Basically, hair with low elasticity is weak and must be handled with care. Here's to the Glam Life! Posted by Desiree Mattox.

Monday, October 18, 2010. Not Tested On Animals. I've seen the claim "Not Tested On Animals" more times than I can count. I recently saw it while browsing Etsy, so I thought now was a perfect time to address it. So where does the claim come from? That doesn't mean it's obsolete. Or on a fellow human? Which is really more "humane"? Just food for thought. Here's to the Glam Life! Posted by Desiree Mattox. Links to this post. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. I promised myself back in August that I would take the t...
