I need advice regarding an emulsion formulation. After letting it sit for 2-3 nights, phase separation occurred as shown in the picture.

Which grade helps moisturizing ingredients maintain hydration on the skin for a long duration, specifically 12 to 24 hours, while providing the least stickiness? Also, how do PVP-K15, PVP-K17, PVP-K30, and PVP-K60 differ from each other, aside from their molecular weight?

I need advice on a physical sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ for prolonged outdoor activities under strong sun. I'm trying to make the texture as lightweight as possible for reapplication throughout the day. If the formula is not suitable, please help adjust it. Here is the proposed formula: Zinc Oxide 35nm 20% Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid 10% LipidSoft Lite 10% Warp Cream Maker XL 5% PMMA Booster 5% SelectSorb 3% Hydroxyapatite 5% WaterGuard Lite 3% Dimethicone Light/50 1% SiliSolve Plus 1% Ectoin 2% PolyProtect 1% Ethyl Ferulate 1% Licochalcone A 1% Carnosine 1% Magnesium Sulfate hight purity 1% Mild Preserved Eco 1% Gamma Oryzanol 0.5% beige Iron Oxide 0.4% Water to 100% My questions are: 1. Can R&D provide a rough estimate of the SPF/PA achieved, specifically if it will reach SPF 50+ PA++++? 2. Physical sunscreens only coat the skin and are not absorbed. Can the antioxidant ingredients included still be expected to be effective? If so, is it necessary to include quality stabilizers against free radicals and UV light to protect the ingredients? 3. Is this formula suitable for the intended use? I want to mix it for use during outdoor construction supervision, where I will encounter both dust and strong sun. I want to keep the formula as lightweight as possible.

What is the difference between Oil Thick™ Soft and Oil Thick™ Hard, given they have the same INCI name, Dextrin Palmitate? Please provide specific data sheet base information for both substances.
I am developing a liquid velvet lipstick formula that is water-free, focusing on a base of **silicone** and **oil**. Initially, the texture was too liquid and oily. I added **polyisobutene**, which improved the texture and did not feel like a water-based formula (which causes dryness when water evaporates). However, the texture still feels oily and slippery. I have the following questions: 1. Are there other ingredients besides polyisobutene that can reduce the oily/slippery feel? 2. What kind of texture would result from adding **Rice Bran Wax**? 3. How can I prevent the formula from separating? 4. How can I make the color more long-lasting (currently, it comes off easily when touched)?
