Regarding ActiveRelease Retinal™ ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B9%8D%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/6979-encapsulated-retinal-retinaldehyde.html:2h03u7el]ActiveRelease Retinal™[/url:2h03u7el]), can it be dispersed directly in water? I read the mixing instructions which say to mix it in the oil phase, but the technical page says it can be dispersed in water, gel, or oil.

Do I still need to include `Titanium Dioxide` and `Zinc Oxide` in the formula? The formula focuses on high coverage, oil control, and high sun protection.

I am developing a toner/essence formulation intended to be like a 'water essence' but with slight viscosity for easier application. I have the following formula and would like to know if there are any potential issues. My target pH for the formula is 3.5, but I haven't added a pH adjuster yet as I'm unsure what the pH will be after mixing the ingredients. I understand that Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin contains a preservative, but I'm not sure if it's sufficient. Can I omit Phenoxyethanol SA (eq. Optiphen Plus)? Here is the formulation: * Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin: 81.20 % * Ampho-Glycolic™ (Non-Stinging Glycolic Acid): 7.00 % * Palmaria Palmata Extract: 3.00 % * HydroAlgae™: 2.00 % * Glycosaminoglycans Complex: 1.00 % * Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule): 0.20 % * Laurocapram (Water Soluble): 2.00 % * Phenoxyethanol SA (eq. Optiphen Plus): 0.50 % * Odor-Kill™ (ละลายน้ำ): 1.00 % * Xanthan Gum (ชนิดเจลใส, เนื้อเนียนไม่ยืด): 0.10 % * WaterLube™ Slip: 2.00 %

Regarding the solubility of Pure-Apigenin™ 98% powder, can it be dissolved in water, or does it need to be dissolved in Butylene Glycol? I am confused because the product information page states that the company sells 3 types of chamomile extracts, and Chamomile Extract (Apigenin) 98% powder is listed as soluble in water, but under the solubility section, it states: "Cannot dissolve in water." Thank you.
