I've been trying to find the right face product that would leave my face feeling and looking good. Especially, something that I knew would help with my chin area of my face. But I haven't find the one until I started using Clean & Clear Lemon Slices. This product swipes away all that nasty dirt and oil off your face. Also, it helps removes any blackheads. But before I started using this product I was using Neutrogena Grapefruit face scrub and Freeman 4 in 1 Apple Cider Vinegar Foaming Clay Mask.

To start, there are many chemical that goes into this product. Some of the ingredients are Water, Citric Acid, Polysorbate 20. The first ingredient is water. Water is important because its a polar molecule that helps dissolve other polar molecules. Reactants must dissolve in water. The chemical formula is H2O or HOH. This consist of two bonded Hydrogen and one Oxygen atoms. Oxygen is negative and the hydrogen are negative. Water is the universal solvent, it can dissolve in many substances. Water is is amphoteric which means its a base and acid. Water has many properties such as, cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the key property of water because of their polarity of the molecules, they

are attracted to each other. This can also lead to high surface tension. Adhesion is a measure of water's ability to attract other types of molecules. 

Next, is Citric Acid and it’s chemical formula is C6H8O7. This is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits. Such as, lemons, grapefruits and oranges. It’s a natural preservative and also used as an acidic (sour) taste to food and soft drinks. Citric Acid is used in skin cosmetic because it helps fight off dead skin cells and turnover new skin growth. The Citric Cylce occurs in the metabolism of almost all living things. Any personal safety is that it can cause 
respiratory symptoms, sore throat, and shortness of breath.

Then, there’s Polysorbate 20, and it’s chemical formula is C58H14O26. This chemical is derived from Lauric Acid and also is a mixture of sorbitol ethyleneoxide. It is used in cosmetics and skin  care products as a surfactants and fragrance ingredient. This chemical is linked to cause skin allergies, and can be contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, which can penetrate the skin. Studies show that this chemical can also cause toxicity in the development and reproductive system in animals.

Experimental Procedure

 First, I will wash my face with warm water.
 Second, I will only use 1 lemon slice and apply it to my face. 
Third, I will swipe/ clean each section of my face twice using this product.
Fourth, using the Neutrogena and Freeman cleansing product I will need a rag. 
Fifth, I will apply the products to my face, making sure it covers my whole face. 
Sixth, I will have both products sit for at least 5 minutes. 
Lastly, I will use a rag and warm water to swipe away. 


Results

Clean and Clear Lemon Slices 55%

The Clean and Clear and Neutrogena product both moisture level was at a 55% because they both share the same ingredients. Such as Water, Polysorbate 20, Citric Acid, and many more. Which were the 3 ingredients I discussed.  Meanwhile, Freeman Cleansing product only shares Water and Citric Acid. 

Proposed Improvements 
Great product, but let us know if tested on animals. There is no information on your website about that at all. And me havin a passion for animals would like to know. Also, putting more lemon exfoliating slices in the container. Because trust me 45 isn’t enough, especially for it to cost some much. Besides that love the product.

Does Shea Moisture shampoo clean, moisturize and detangle better than its competitors?   As a member of the natural hair community we do not use shampoo as much as we use conditioner but when we do use it we want it to clean the hair while also leaving it moisturized. Now not everyones hair likes the same things which is a key factor noted while composing the experiment that followed in response to the title question above. In some ways all hair can react to the ingredients weather it be similar or different good or bad.

Maybelline Fit me! Foundation vs. NYX Matte Foundation

Image
Starting out with this project I didn't really know what to do. I was going between hair products or skin care products. Ultimately, I decided to do an experiment about foundations because my mother and I use two different foundations and come out with different outcomes. My mother uses NYX: Stay Matte But Not Flat foundation while I use Maybelline Fit me! Foundation. The prices aren't that different but Maybelline is cheaper than NYX. Chemistry and Saftey Concerns To start this blog off let's take a look inside of the chemicals that are in the Maybelline Fit me! foundation. Some chemical ingredients that are found in the foundation are cyclohexasiloxane, tocopherol, and isododecane.  First, we have cyclohexasiloxane . Cyclohexasiloxane is a man-made chemical that consists of elements being mixed together with silicone. What cyclohexasiloxane does for this product is that it helps form a protective barrier on the skin and works as a conditioning agent....

Name brand Vs. Beauty supply store foundation

Name brand Vs. Beauty supply store foundation   For most of my teenage and more frugal years I’ve always used drugstore makeup. So when I had a well paying job, I jumped at the chance to buy Fenty Foundation. You know? The makeup line from Rihanna. It was so hyped up by her team, celebrities and common folk. But what makes it more better than my old drugstore brand? I decided to put it to the test and run an experiment to see which foundation would keep my face more matte (less moist) over a period of time. Chemistry Behind Fenty-   The first ingredient in Fenty and in most beauty products is aqua , or for the most part, water. Its main usage is to hydrate the skin and prevent irritation. It's a natural ingredient and has no safety concerns nor environmental safety issues.          The second ingredient that stood out was Dimethicone. This ingredient fills in textures and fine lines create a smooth flawle...
