Chemistry: How to read the periodic table and how to read an element box! (Part 4)

Welcome to part four of this series on learning chemistry! In part one, we looked at the resources and materials we need to study chemistry. In part two, we learned the parts of an atom – protons, neutrons, and electrons! In part three, we learned about ions and valence shells. Today, in part four, we’ll...

Basic chemistry: Introduction to the course and suggested supplies & resources (part one)

Three Ehrlenmeyer flasks sit on a lab bench. The first contains light pink liquid. The second, clear liquid. The third, bright pink liquid. This was a class on titration and the colours indicate how alkaline the liquid is.

Welcome to this introductory course on chemistry that I hope will give you enough information to get to know your ingredients and how to use them! It’ll continue to be a work in progress as we cover the basics, like atoms, the periodic table, ions, and bonding. As time goes on, I’ll be adding modules...

Cosmetic chemistry: Oxidative stability index or oil stability index (OSI)

Let’s take a look at this concept before we meet a new emollient, jojoba esters 15! Woo hoo! What is the OSI? OSI – oxidative stability index or oil stability index – is a measurement in hours of the “relative resistance of fat and oil samples to oxidation”, an approved method by the American Oil...
