    There are a million contradictions in the world of natural dyes! I'm trying to learn the process and it's crazy to see such starkly different instructions. Every video I watched about natural dying with cabbage all used mordant, some explained why, due to cabbage dye being "fugitive," or not being color fast. The mordant helps but not entirely, and the cabbage dyed fabric will still fade. I don't understand why you would want to use a dye that isn't colorfast though. Lots of new terms being learned...You didn't mention these aspects, isn't this part of the science of natural dying? Why did your video only use mordant for the dead bug dye and not the cabbage? Thank you : )

    Does homosalate, Octycrylene and octisalate go together with Uvinal A and Tinosorb M? I ask because I put a tinted spf over a Korean PA+++ and I don’t want to affect the effectiveness. I ask because I use the Korean sunscreen Beauty of Joseon and then I put IT cosmetics cc cream, SPF 40 over the top.

    a completely new kind of sunscreen that lasts more than a month could be based on a thing like transparent Henna. A chemical at henna does a Michael reaction with the keratin protein of skin and links a colored molecule to it durably, not washing off. There are molecules that do the Michael reaction that are transparent. Linking that michael reaction group to a UV absorber then makes a sunscreen that lasts longer than a month. This could be a completely new anti-photoaging product as a new revenue product. Notably, the UV absorbers in commercial sunscreens last only a few hours, but, fortunately, the UV absorbers in printing inks lasts months. Those chemicls could be tested to find out which are body harmless, and be a part of the michael reaction sunscreen that lasts longer than a month. This is a complimentary public domain idea and can be commercially developed without further contact 7/29/23 Treon Verdery, North Bend, Oregon
