I have formulated a serum with the following ingredients and percentages: Pep-Coll (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) 3% Wrinkle-Lax 0.5% Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl L-Tyrosine) 2% Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (eq. Argireline) 3% Safe-B3 2.5% GlucoBright 4% L-Carnitine 2% 4D Hyaluronic Acid 5% Ethoxydiglycol 2.5% Sodium Metabisulfite 0.5% Disodium EDTA 0.2% Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear) 3% Odor-Kill ละลายน้ำ 0.5% น้ำกลั่น ปราศจากเชื้อ 70% My primary goal for this formula is anti-wrinkle, but I also want skin brightening, so I included Safe-B3, GlucoBright, and L-Carnitine. I'm not sure if this combination is too heavy, or if I should separate them into two formulas (one for anti-wrinkle, one for brightening). I am open to reducing the percentages if the combination is too heavy, as I want a serum texture. Regarding the 4D Hyaluronic Acid, is 5% sufficient for skin aged 30 and above? Finally, I'm unsure if there will be residual odors from these ingredients. I plan to add 0.5% fragrance and 2% Flora Solve™ Clear. Will this amount be too little to mask the odors?
In a cream formulation for acne-prone skin, I am using Betaine Salicylate 2.5% mixed with Water 20% and Triethanolamine 0.1% to adjust the pH to 3.8-4.2.

I am interested in the ingredient Sym-White™ (Phenylethyl Resorcinol). The recommendation states that the finished product should be stored in packaging that protects from light and air.

I'm experimenting with making a pillow mist using the following formula: Ethyl Alcohol 99.9% (perfume grade) 68%, Essential Oil 30%, Mild Preserve 2%. 1. The scent is slightly pungent when first sprayed, but becomes pleasant after a while. How can I adjust this? (I'm unsure if the pungency is from the Essential Oil or the Alcohol). 2. Can Ethyl Alcohol be used as a base for pillow mist? I am concerned about its gentleness on the skin. If a more skin-friendly base is needed, what alternatives do you recommend and in what percentage should they be used? Thank you.
I made a hand soap based on an online recipe, replacing SLeS with Mild-Wash (Sodium Lauroamphoacetate). The formula is: Distilled water: 54% Vegetable Glycerine: 15% Caprylyl / capryl glucoside: 8% Mild-Wash: 10% (original recipe called for SLeS) Cocamidopropyl Betaine: 8% Essential Oil: 0.5% Global-Guard: 0.5% SugarThick: 0.5% When using it, it doesn't feel like it has a clean finish, feeling sticky during rinsing, and after drying, hands feel a bit dry. I want this formula to be suitable for sensitive skin like for babies/children. How can I improve the formula? What moisturizing ingredient can be used, such as Aloe Vera?
