1. I usually use Safe B3 and Gluco Bright in my formula, but I want to add 4MSK to break down melasma and freckles. Based on the information, 4MSK works by destroying accumulated Melanocytes under the skin. If I use all three ingredients together in a formula, will their mechanisms be redundant? 2. Can 4MSK be used with Disodium EDTA? 3. Regarding Skin-mimic, the information says it disperses in water but does not settle. If I make an essence with the following formula: Skin-mimic 5%, Mild Preserved Eco 1%, น้ำกลั่น 94%, will this work? Do I need to shake the bottle before use? Or should I add Pro Polymer to help it disperse in a gel? I want a light, watery texture like a "น้ำตบ", not a gel. My goal is to create a simple Skin Barrier product.
I tried mixing a hair formulation with Ethyl Alcohol, C177499, Easy hair style (8Hr.), Phenyl Trimethicone, PEG-12 Dimethicone, and fragrance. After mixing and letting it sit, it separates and settles. Which ingredients can help prevent this settling? Can you recommend a stable formula and the percentage needed for C177499 to cover grey hair and last longer? Thank you.
Can AminoWash™ (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Fine) sold by myskinrecipes be used to make toothpaste?
I want to formulate a sunscreen cream and want to avoid using a silicone base because I'm concerned about clogged pores. I plan to use the following formula: Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid 25% Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid 15% Mild Preserved Eco 1% Ectoin 2% Water 52% Milk Lotion Maker™ 5% Is this formula possible? My proposed mixing method is: Water phase: Add Ectoin and Mild Preserved Eco to Water, stir each until dissolved. Oil phase: Mix Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid, Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid, and Milk Lotion Maker™. Heat to 70°C. Combine: Heat the water phase to 70°C and slowly add the oil phase while stirring to emulsify. Is this method correct? Will Ectoin be destroyed by heat? If it is, when should I add Ectoin? Or is heating not necessary for the formula above?

I want to use MSH White™ (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine) in a formula with Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) and GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine). Based on the solubility information, MSH White™ is oil-soluble, while Safe-B3™ and GlucoBright™ are water-soluble. My formula is water-based. How can I incorporate MSH White™ into this water-based formula? Please also suggest the mixing steps. Regarding penetration enhancers, can I use only Laurocapram (Water Soluble) to achieve the desired effect from MSH White™ (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine)? Or do I need to include Laurocapram (Oil Soluble) as well? Alternatively, is Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) recommended? I prefer not to use DMI due to its smell, even with odor reducers. Are there any other penetration enhancers you can recommend, or is DMI necessary for this formula?
I am making a sulfate-free, silicone-free shampoo for hair loss and want to improve the hair feel (add weight, smoothness, reduce tangling). My current formula includes the following ingredients: Plantacare 1200 120 g Plantacare 2000 120 g Lamesoft PO 65 150 g Amilite GCK-12H 50 g Ajidew NL-50 150 g Liquid Vitamin B5 50 g Phenostat Herbal water: Kaffir lime, Ginger, Tinospora crispa, Yanang leaves, total 330 g Additionally, the shampoo color is dark green from the herbal water. Is there a way to make the color look better? The shampoo also doesn't produce much foam; I have to use a large amount to wash my shoulder-length hair thoroughly. What ingredients should I add to address these issues?
I would like to ask: - At the same concentration, such as 5-10%, which Hyaluron would be more sticky between 4D Hya and Double Hya if added to a formula that is otherwise identical? - If I want to use Hyaluron at a concentration of 10% or more, what should I do to minimize stickiness while maintaining the same level of hydration? Thank you in advance.
