I need help checking the ingredients in my lip balm formula. The current formula I'm using results in a lip balm with very little color payoff when applied. Can I adjust or increase/decrease any ingredients? I need advice. I want a lip balm with clear color that still maintains moisture. It should be suitable for both cheeks and lips. My formula is: Natural Oil 69%, Microcrystalline Wax (Refined) 15%, shea butter (Refined , ไม่หืน) 3%, Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (White, Deodorized, Soft) 3%, Flavor 3%, mica 7.5%.

I would like to know how these two options differ.

I am trying to make a 100ml Room Spray. I used the following ingredients: * Essential Oil: 30 drops (tangerine, Lavender, Lime, Spearmint blend) * Polysorbate 20 (Tween20): 60 drops (used at a 2:1 ratio to the essential oil) * DI Water: The rest of the volume My process was to first mix the Essential Oil with Polysorbate 20 and shake until clear, which it was. Then I added DI Water to the full volume, and it still looked clear. However, when I checked the next morning, the liquid in the spray bottle had turned cloudy. How can I fix this problem? I also tried using Flora Solve Clear at a 2:1 ratio, but it didn't seem to dissolve the essential oil and formed clumps.
