This series tackles the chemistry of esters covering why they are the way they are. In this e-book we will be looking at solid esters, those that take the place of solid oils, butters, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids. We’ll see how to use them in solid, anhydrous products, like lotion bars and lip balms, then we’ll try them in lotions and shampoo bars.
