I have the Absolue Soft Cream Base and plan to mix it with active ingredients (water-soluble or oil-soluble). I previously read that adding up to 10% water-soluble active is acceptable. If I add 20% water-soluble active, will the viscosity change significantly, perhaps becoming a lotion? If I add 20% oil-soluble active, will the viscosity change significantly, perhaps becoming too sticky? Given the base is preservative-free, how does adding 20% of either type of active affect its preservation ability? Is there a maximum percentage I can add without needing to add a preservative system to the final product?
