I made this formula, and after about a day, there's sediment/precipitation. Shaking vigorously multiple times doesn't make it disappear. Formula (Facial Toner): Distilled Water 91% Dimethyl Isosorbide 2% Prebio-care 2% Hexapeptide-9 2% Probio-Protect 2% Japanese Cedar 1% I mixed them in order and shook to combine. Are there any incompatible ingredients, or is it just not fully dissolved? Please check for me.

I saw a brand called MFeel Serum using an active ingredient that claims to work for up to 72 hours per application. I'm wondering if the "Sponge Gel" sold by your company has the same long-lasting effect. I also saw a recommended usage rate of 0.5 to 4%. Does this rate mean it can be applied daily?

I would like to ask for feedback on a serum formulation I am developing. The ingredients and their percentages are as follows: 5% perfect c 1% Silk Lotion Maker 17% Rose Water 2% Pitera Ex 20% Hyaluronic Acid Solution (ความเข้มข้น 1%) 1% MOIST72 2% water lock 0.5% Allantoin 3% Ume Extract 10% Repair Activator 10% Skin mimic 2% Ectoine 2% Quick Coll 5% Matrixyl 3000 10% Argireline 2% Rosa Hybrid Cell Extract 3% Glycosaminoglycans Complex (Lamer) 3% Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) 1% Xanthan Gum 0.5% Liquid Germall Plus I would like to know if these ingredients are compatible. I want a light texture for the serum. Can Silk Lotion Maker be used, or is Xanthan Gum sufficient? Are there other recommended alternatives? Should I include water lock in the serum? I understand it forms a film; will this prevent creams applied afterward from being absorbed? Or should I include water lock in the cream instead? Are there any other ingredients I should add to make the serum more effective? Is it necessary to use Citric Acid to adjust the pH of the formula to approximately 6?
I would like to ask about a simple hair tonic formula that focuses on stimulating new hair growth. Is the following formula acceptable? DI Water 97%, Melatonin Forte 1%, Biotin Express 1%, Phenoxyethanol 1%. Also, is it necessary to include Ethyl Alcohol in this formula? Thank you.
I have inflammatory and clogged acne, mostly around my jawline, which started appearing daily about 3 months ago, even though I don't usually get acne and don't wear makeup. I'm not sure if it's due to mask usage or unclean pillowcases. I have acne bumps without heads as well. I normally use BHA, specifically Complex Salicylic Acid (Powder, Water-Soluble), after washing my face, but new acne still appears. My supply is running out, so I want to switch to making an acne treatment gel cleanser for clogged and inflammatory acne using Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid, Timed-Release, Wash-Off), thinking its properties might be better than the complex powder form. However, I read that Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid) is not compatible with certain ingredients like Base: Aloe Vera Gel, Hyaluronic Gel and thickener/Emulsifier: Pro Polymer, Light Cream Maker, Satin Mousse, Xantham Gum, Natural Organic thickener. Given this, can I use SugarThick (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate) to increase the viscosity of the gel cleanser? I'm unsure if SugarThick is considered a natural organic thickener. My proposed formula is: Sulfate Free Shampoo Base 20%, Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Liquid, Timed-Release, Wash-Off) 3%, SugarThick (PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate) 1%, Mild Preserved Eco 1%, Water 75%. Can this formula be mixed?
Regarding the BDV-8S Viscometer, should the % Torque be within the range of 85-100%? When I tested the machine at the store, it was mentioned that it should be close to 50%. Is this difference due to different brands?
