Another inactive ingredient contained in Carmex Cherry Lip Balm is camphor. The natural process of obtaining camphor is to distill the wood and bark of the camphor tree. Camphor can also be chemically produced using turpentine oil. The scientific name for the tree camphor naturally comes from is Cinnamomum camphora and the name for the chemically processed camphor is Trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one. In the chemical structure, the central atom is carbon and the various electronic geometries are trigonal planar and tetrahedral.
Camphor’s chemical formula is C10H16O and contains 28 sigma bonds, and one pi bond, and all of these bonds are covalent due to carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen all being non-metals. Camphor is a stable chemical that

Beeswax starts out as white but later becomes a more of a yellow color. Beeswax contains carbohydrates such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose. Its main components are palmitate, palmitoleate, hydroxypalmitate and oleate esters of long-chain (30-32 carbons) aliphatic alcohols, with the ratio of triacontanylpalmitate CH3(CH2)29O-CO-(CH2)14CH3 to cerotic acid CH3(CH2)24COOH, the two principal components, being 6:1. Beeswax is insoluble in water, but it is soluble in many organic solvents such as ether, acetone, benzene, benzene, and chloroform. At room temperature beeswax does not totally dissolve in any of these solvents, but once beeswax is heated above its melting point it is readily soluble in all of them, and in ethanol. The boiling point of beeswax is above 260 °Celsius and the freezing and melting point is about 63 °Celsius. Beeswax is a stable solid and should not come into contact with strong oxidants or acids. The molecular weight of beeswax is 415 g/mol. An intermolecular force between the molecules of the product could be dipole-dipole because of the polarity. Beeswax is mainly used in cosmetics as an emollient and thickener, but can also be used as an emulsifier. Beeswax is also used for reliving pain, swelling, and ulcers. One of the properties of the hydrocarbons contained in beeswax is that it can be used as a lubricant, which could be used in Carmex to keep lips from …show more content…
In laymen’s terms, petrolatum is referred to simply as petroleum jelly, and was first discovered at an oil rig by Robert Chesebrough who later founded the Vaseline company. It is widely used in lip balms to promote the retention of moisture. Unfortunately, the FDA does not regulate the purity of petrolatum, so it has been known to be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which is a known carcinogen. It is disputed as to whether this ingredient is at all effective because of its sealing properties. It creates a barrier that is intended to lock moisture in, however it can stop the absorption of moisture instead, as well as blocking pores to prevent necessary detoxification. Because it is a conglomerate of many different hydrocarbons, it does not have a chemical formula, although carbon numbers typically exceed 25. It tends to have a long shelf life, which is what makes it so attractive in cosmetics. It is nonpolar, and considered to be chemically inert, which means that it can be easily mixed with other chemicals without eliciting a chemical reaction. This makes it an ideal base. As far as properties are concerned, petrolatum is almost tasteless and is an unctuous solid or semisolid that is yellowish or amber in color. It has a boiling point of 343.3º C, a melting point of 38°C, and is soluble in diethyl ether, Benzene, Chloroform, Petroleum Ether, Carbon Disulfide, Oils, insoluble in cold water, hot water, and
The camphor then went through reduction with sodium borohydride to make isoborneol. This reaction was able to be stereochemically controlled by limiting the amount of heat we provided. The conversion of camphor to isoborneol has a lower
The purpose of conducting experiment was to determine the identity of white compound. Based on the 5 gram of unknown white compound several experiment conducted including solubility test, pH test, flame test, and ion test. Several materials including chemicals used throughout experiment and will be described through paragraphs.
Triphenylmethyl Bromide. A 400 mL beaker was filled with hot water from the tap. Acetic acid (4 mL) and solid triphenylmethanol (0.199 g, 0.764 mmol) were added to a reaction tube, with 33% hydrobromic acid solution (0.6 mL) being added dropwise via syringe. The compound in the tube then took on a light yellow color. The tube was then placed in the beaker and heated for 5 minutes. After the allotted time, the tube was removed from the hot water bath and allowed to cool to room temperature. In the meantime, an ice bath was made utilizing the 600 mL plastic beaker, which the tube was then placed in for 10 minutes. The compound was then vacuum filtered with the crystals rinsed with water and a small amount of hexane. The crude product was then weighed and recrystallized with hexane to form fine white crystals, which was triphenylmethyl bromide (0.105 g, 0.325 mmol, 42.5%). A Beilstein test was conducted, and the crystals produced a green to greenish-blue flame.
Data Table 3 indicates the observations from these tests. Though a control test for each test wasn’t prepared, due to the starting reagents being unattainable, the results clearly show that the product is unsaturated. An unsaturated compound means that there is/are bonds in its structure. The product was also analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The spectrums obtained allowed one to determine the composition of 1-methylcyclohexene; any impurities and excess products were observed as well. From the infrared spectrum, there is a little peak around 3300-3500 cm-1; this indicated a very little presence of alcohol in the product and thus, most of the alcohol has been successfully removed. If one compared the IR spectrum of the product to the starting material, 2-methylcyclohexanol, one could clearly see the change in peak size of the O-H stretch. The infrared spectrum of 1-methylcyclohexene also depicted a C-H stretch and an alkene functional group at 500-1500 cm-1 and 2932.54cm-1, respectively. From the gas chromatography spectrum (Data Table 4), the area percentages show that there were three products - peaks 22 through 24 - that were formed from the dehydration experiment. Nevertheless, there are two predominant products, as shown from their high percentages, 3-methylcyclohexene (~24%) and 1-methylcyclohexene
Performing this experiment, we used the technique called Acid-Base extraction to isolate Eugenol, which is one of the main ingredients of clove oil. Acid-Base extraction is the most efficient method for isolating organic component; it is efficient because it purifies the acid and base mixture based on their chemical identities. We have seen throughout this experiment that acid and base play an important role, when it comes to solubility in water. Our basic knowledge of acid and base is acid is a proton donor and base is a proton acceptor. This ideology helps us to understand why organic compounds are not soluble in water. When compounds tend to be insoluble, we have to use acid and base reaction, to change its solubility. The changes that occurred
...lution tasted as compared with pervious testing due to no prior documentation. This test also did not consider the amount of time it took for R2 to taste the solutions. Furthermore, this experiment does not test injury or defect in the brain that may effect the functioning of the facial nerve, but not actually be an issue with the nerve itself. While the hypothesis was substantiated for both subjects, more long term assessment or re-testing is necessary to assuredly confirm both R1 and R2 have in tact facial nerve functioning.
Because of this, the review aims to contrast studies of both the positive and negatives of parabens to establish a generally accepted answer as to the safety of parabens in cosmetics; as part of that,
I attended the Broadway show entitled "Hairspray." The show was performed at Neil Simon Theatre in New York City. The setting of the play took place in Baltimore in 1962. At the beginning of the play, we are led to believe that the main idea is about a teenage girl who is struggling to become popular and famous. The main character Tracy Turnblad, who is played by Shannon Durig, is a young, overweight, teenage girl.
Investigating Factors Affecting the Heat of Combustion of Alcohols PLANNING SECTION Introduction ------------ Alcohols are organic substances, and consist of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. All alcohols are toxic but the amount that can be tolerated by the human body varies for different alcohols. For example drinking small amounts of Methanol can lead to blindness and even death.
Generally, the main usage or benefits of skin-care products can physically rejuvenate the skin and psychologically revitalize the mental health of mankind whereby to boost-up their self-confidence. Past studies found that the cosmetics and skin-care products will significantly influence the consumers’ satisfaction whereby benefiting them on 2 aspects: emotion and utilitarian (Apaolaza-Ibanez, Hartmann, Diehl, & Terlutter, 2011).
The science behind the Eos products is simple. Lips do not have the same glands that other parts of the body's skin has. That means that they need extra care. When the winds blow cold it is unable to retain
