I have the following formula: Water 84.2%, Vitamin B3 5%, Disodium EDTA 0.2%, Raffinose 1%, Active Protec ox 0.6%, Pro Polymer 1%, Activated Resorcinol 1%, Kojic Acid 3%, Jojoba Oil 3%, Preservative 1%. Can this formula be made into a melasma reduction cream? What ingredients should be added or removed for better melasma reduction results? What is the recommended mixing method?
Can Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid, Timed-Release, Wash-Off) be mixed into bar soap?
I am using Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Ethyl Ether) in my formula. The formula already contains ActiveProtec™ OX at 1% and ActiveProtec™ UV at 2%. Given this, is it still necessary to add Protec™ OX and Protec™ UV to help protect the Vitamin C from degradation?
I am interested in a cream formulation similar to SK-II SkinPower Cream. Could you please suggest ingredients and methods?
I would like a formula for a skin nourishing cream that makes the skin moisturized, focusing on fast absorption and non-stickiness. My skin is very dry because I am always in an air-conditioned room. Please help.

I would like to ask, in a formulation containing an extract that cannot withstand heat above 40°C, such as Ectoin, but the formula uses a hot process for emulsification with Sensitive Cream Maker, can I dissolve Ectoin separately in water and add it later to avoid exposure to the heat from the cream emulsification step at 70-80°C?

I have questions about formulating a water-based serum. First, for water-soluble ingredients, some of which contain Glycerin (like [url=https://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%9A%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B7%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%84%E0%B9%8C/143-glycerin-%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B5%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%99.html:2vzxgg3e]Glycerin[/url:2vzxgg3e]), can they be mixed directly without a binder or cream maker? Second, is it recommended to include a penetration enhancer (like [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/121-penetration-enhancer-%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A7:2vzxgg3e]penetration enhancer[/url:2vzxgg3e]) in a water-based serum, and which ones are recommended? Third, for a water-based serum intended for use with a dropper, what is the minimum recommended water percentage?
Please check the compatibility of the following formula ingredients and advise on the expected texture and color of the final product (will it be colored or clear)? 1.
