Do you have fragrance oils that smell similar to Coach Floral?
I have questions regarding the compatibility and properties of several ingredients for a cosmetic formulation: 1. Are Sea Kelp Extract and Fucus Film™ (fucus vesiculosus extract) the same ingredient, with the first being more concentrated? 2. I am planning to use the following ingredients in a formula: * Sea Kelp Extract * Seamollient * Alaria Esculenta Extract * Algae Oil (Laminaria Digitata Extract) * Palmaria Palmata Extract * Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening) * Plankton Artemia Extract * Bio-Mineral™ (Fermented Si+Mg+Cu+Fe+Zn) * Fucus Film™ * Satin Cream Maker * Phenoxyethanol * EDTA * Water up to 100% Are there any ingredients in this list that should not be used together? When these ingredients are mixed, there is a strange smell similar to soy sauce. Is this smell coming from Sea Kelp Extract? 3. Can I add other extracts and peptides to the formula from question 2, such as Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3), Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), Wrinkle-Fill™ (Acetyl-Tyrosine), Wrinkle-Lax™ (Steviol glycosides), Pep®-Coll (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (eq. Argireline), Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq. Matrixyl 3000)? If so, are these ingredients compatible with each other and with the base formula?

I have a formula consisting of Water 28.9%, Alcohol 70%, synthetic Fragrance 0.1%, and Flora Solve 1.0%. Initially, the mixture is clear, but after leaving it overnight, a white precipitate forms and the liquid becomes cloudy. I tried increasing the Flora Solve concentration to 2.0% while keeping the Fragrance at 0.1%, but the precipitation still occurred. What is causing this issue?

Can Bakuchiol 3% be mixed with any natural oils, such as Sea Buckthorn (Fruit) Oil, Rose Hip Oil, and Avena sativa (Oat) Oil, to reach 100% of the formulation? And is it true that Disodium EDTA is not necessary in this formulation?
I am creating a serum for wrinkle reduction and skin brightening, aiming for a lightweight serum or essence texture. The formula includes the following ingredients: 1. Distilled Water 79%, 2. Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) 3%, 3. Pep®-Coll (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) 3%, 4. Adenosine Liposome 3%, 5. MSH White™ (Undecylenoyl phenylalanine) 2%, 6. Z-White™ 1%, 7. Laurocapram (Water Soluble) 2%, 8. Flora Solve™ Clear 5%, 9. Tranexamic Acid 2%. I want to know if all these ingredients can be mixed together in this formula without issues. Specifically, can MSH White™ be dissolved directly in Flora Solve™ Clear to replace the oil phase (as I don't want oil in the formula)? If so, after dissolving, can I add this mixture directly to the prepared water phase? Do I need to use any additional emulsifiers? Also, regarding the pH of the ingredients in the formula, such as Tranexamic Acid (pH 6.5-7.5) and Adenosine Liposome (pH 3.5-6.5), I am concerned that if the overall pH of the mixture is around 6.8, it might reduce the effectiveness of Adenosine Liposome or other ingredients. Is it necessary to adjust the pH of the formula? Thank you.

Additionally, I want the spray to provide a cooling sensation on the face for about 1 minute. What ingredients and usage percentages would you recommend to achieve this effect safely?
