When adding HP Starch (Hydroxypropyl starch phosphate) to a finished emulsion, mix with a water-soluble liquid (like water) first. Make sure to document for record keeping purposes how much additional water you added to your finished emulsion. It will form a gel. Make sure the gel isn’t too thick or too thin. Add it the emulsion directly and mix well.
Mixing HP Starch with water or another water-soluble liquid will help prevent your final product from looking “starchy” and gross. lol

Types 1 and 3 Hydrolyzed Collagen is used to positively affect the hair and skin. Type 2 Hydrolyzed Collagen is used to improve joints. Type 2 is recommended to be taken separately from the others, according to online sources.
If using 'bovine' collagen, be careful about sourcing. Collagen sourced from Argentina, New Zealand and even Brazil have been recommended.
