Are finished fragrances (Brand Name, Fashion, A-Z, Fruit, Floral, Sweet/Food, Herb, Women's, Men's, Other) entirely synthetic? 4. Can a fragrance formula mix Essential Oil 25%, Veg.

In a shower oil formulation, is Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) still necessary if Sweet Almond Oil is added to the base formula? Also, if the total amount of oil is increased by adding Sweet Almond Oil, is it necessary to increase the quantity of Oil Blender™?
I would like to inquire about the colorants used for coloring serum (specifically for covering the color of extracts added to the serum, not for staining the skin after application). The colorant should not be water-soluble, as I am making serum beads and the clear gel surrounding the beads should remain clear without color bleeding from the beads. Could you recommend suitable colorants? Additionally, I have another question. The extract I am using has a relatively dark color and is water-soluble. When this extract is mixed into the beads and the beads are placed in the clear gel, the color from the extract bleeds out of the beads and seeps into the clear gel, making the product unappealing. Do you have any recommendations for addressing this issue? Thank you very much.

I formulated a shampoo with the following ingredients: 1. distilled water 43%, 2. Sulfate Free Shampoo Base (pH 7, Clear, Foaming) 30%, 3. Cetrimonium Chloride (CTAC) 2%, 4. Pure-Biotin™ 0.10%, 5.

When mixed, the Zinc Pyrithione separates, appearing as white particles in the foam. When the foam subsides, it separates from the shampoo base. Also, is Cocamidopropyl Betaine necessary in this formula, and if so, what is a good usage percentage?
