I used [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/water-in-oil-low-medium-hlb/6340-peg-ppg-18-18-dimethicone-dowsil-5225c.html:1ssz04w3]PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone[/url:1ssz04w3] in a foundation formula. Initially, the foundation was thick and seemed to be separating slightly. After trying this ingredient, I became very allergic, with my face flaring up with redness every time I applied it. Are there any alternatives for this ingredient? I would like to avoid ingredients containing PEG and PPG.

I am making a serum for melasma reduction and skin brightening using the following main ingredients: - AHA 2% - GlucoBright 4% - B3 4% - Butylene Glycol 2% - Cinnogel Cg 3.5% Is this formulation acceptable? I have two questions: 1. Should I adjust anything to get better results? 2. Why does the texture turn watery when I make it? I want it to have a slightly gel-like texture. It didn't thicken even after adding Carbomer.
I would like to know information about Heliotropin Replacer (Heliotropin Base) to ensure my understanding is correct regarding the correct quantity to use. 1. Is this substance 50% heliotropin and the other 50% other fragrance materials? Or is it just a diluent like DPG, PG, or others? 2. If my formula normally uses 5% heliotropin, should I use the replacer at 10% or use the same 5% as the original heliotropin, assuming the fragrance strength is equivalent to normal heliotropin? 3. Does the store sell pure, undiluted heliotropin?
