Hello, I have two questions. First, if a formula contains approximately ten types of natural extracts and I want to use 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin as the preservative system, avoiding the benzene ring group preservatives like Benzyl Alcohol and Phenoxyethanol, will this combination be effective? Second, when making a cream mask, can I achieve the desired texture without using Sodium Polyacrylate or Sodium Acrylates Copolymer? If so, what alternative ingredients can be used for thickening if I also want to avoid Silicone and Talc? Thank you very much.
