I used Satin Cream Maker™ 1%. Should I add more of something or use a different oil emulsifier, or should I reduce something? 2. Are there any ingredients you can recommend that, when added, feel like they coat the skin to keep it moisturized until morning if applied at night? All units are in %.

I would like to reverse engineer a cream formula for my combination skin which is prone to acne in the T-zone, based on the following ingredient list: Water (Aqua), Azelaic Acid, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, Caprylic/capric triglyceride, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Glycerine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Salicylic Acid, Adenosine, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Boerhavia Diffusa Root Extract, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Xanthan Gum, Sclerotium Gum, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol. I have attempted to create a formula with percentages as follows: **Water phase** * 38% Distilled water * 4% Glycerine * 2% Adenosine * 0.5% Allantoin * 0.5% Xanthan Gum * 0.5% Sclerotium Gum * 0.5% Propanediol * 2% Salicylic Acid * 0.5% Butylene Glycol **Oil phase** * 10% C12-15 alkyl benzoate * 5% Caprylic/capric triglyceride * 4% Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate * 3.5% Cetearyl Alcohol * 3.5% Glyceryl Stearate * 3% Dimethicone * 0.5% Bisabolol * 0.5% Cyclopentasiloxane **Cooldown phase** * 20% Azelaic Acid * 1% Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice) Root Extract * 0.5% Phenoxyethanol Is this formula correct and suitable? Please review it. I also have specific questions: 1. Is Propanediol used to dissolve Salicylic Acid in this cream? The product description mentions that Propanediol can replace Propylene Glycol, any type of Glycol, and Glycerin to function as a Humectant / Skin-Feel, Solvent, or Preservative Booster. What percentage should I use to dissolve Salicylic Acid? 2. Is Butylene Glycol a solvent for Salicylic Acid in this formula? I would like to remove it and use only Propanediol. 3. If I want to use Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) 4% (= Salicylic Acid 2%), in which step should I add it? The product description states that adding Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA) powder to any formula may reduce its viscosity (make it thinner). 4. I have no experience mixing Dimethicone. Please recommend suitable percentages for Dimethicone and Cyclopentasiloxane for this skin type. 5. Which type of Dimethicone should I choose?
I have formulated a product with the following ingredients and percentages: 1. Glycolic Acid (AHA) 100% Powder 2.5% 2. Lactic Acid (AHA) 90% Deodorized 10% 3.

Phenoxyethanol SA 1.25% 11. น้ำกลั่น 54% Are there any adjustments needed? Are the acids too strong? Is the moisturizing sufficient?
Can 2% Pure-Phloretin™ be added to the Vitamin C E Ferulic (Lite) base?

I have the following anti-wrinkle ingredients divided into three groups: 1. Copper Peptide, Adenosine Liposome 2. DMAE, B5, Wrinkle Fill 3. Argireline, Pal-GHK (Matrixyl 3000) The remaining ingredients are water, preservative, and moisturizer. I am not including EDTA to avoid affecting Copper Peptide. 1. Could you please provide your opinion on which group, Group 2 or Group 3, is more suitable for use in an anti-wrinkle formula targeting crow's feet, smile lines, and neck wrinkles? Which group would show better results compared to using only Group 1? 2. If I use all three groups combined, is there any overlap between the ingredients? Is it unnecessary to use any particular ingredient when combining all three groups? 3. If all ingredients are used together, should I add anything else to enhance stability?
Are the products "Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum" and "Vitamin C E Ferulic (Lite)" ready-to-use finished products that can be applied directly to the skin, or are they raw materials intended for use in cosmetic manufacturing?
