I intend to make a Dettol-like formula (blue crown type) using Chloroxylenol 4.8%. 1. How much PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil should I add? 2. What else do I need to add?

I would like to ask for advice. I previously ordered `Coal Tar Solution` from the company to mix with `Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream` for skin issues like psoriasis. I would like to know if there is a way to make the `Coal Tar Solution` become homogeneous with the `Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream`? Because when I mixed them, they did not combine well. Do you have any recommended methods?
I am trying to make a cleansing oil for personal use (not for sale, so no preservative added, stored in the refrigerator) based on the following initial formula: * Oilsify 15: 15% * Mineral Oil ชนิดหนัก: 70% * LipidSoft™ Moist: 15% The result is still too viscous and doesn't completely remove mascara (tested right after mixing). I want to replace Mineral Oil ชนิดหนัก with LipidSoft CC and Butylene Glycol, using Oilsify 30 at 15% as the emulsifier. Could you please advise on the appropriate percentages for LipidSoft CC and Butylene Glycol, or suggest any other ingredients to add?

I am interested in producing a gel that can be used on both the face and body. I want it to have a high concentration of ingredients with properties to make the skin white, moisturize, firm, prevent rashes, and not cause acne. I would like the gel texture to be similar to the image provided (implying a clear, lightweight gel). Since I lack knowledge, I would like to ask: * Should the ingredients used be water-soluble or oil-soluble? * What type of Product Name is needed? * Should I include Product Name? * If I include several Product Name, Product Name, and Moisturizing ingredients, using appropriate quantities, will it be suitable? My skin is combination type, prone to rashes. Heavy creams feel oily, while very light ones feel dry, so I prefer the texture of these clear gels.
Hello, Could you please provide advice on the following points? 1. Do you have a recommended ratio for Essential oil theive oil (Thieves Oil) for the purpose of disinfecting the air and relieving cold symptoms? 2. Regarding using Essential oil theive oil from point 1 to make Scented beads: * Do I need to add Fragrance fixative? I'm concerned about quick evaporation since it's entirely Essential oil. * Can Essential oil used with Scented beads be mixed with oil to reduce the intensity of the released scent? I want a subtly diffused scent. * What amount of Fragrance is needed per 100g of Scented beads sold by your company? (An approximate weight is fine so I can order enough). * Can the Scented beads that have absorbed Fragrance be reused? If not, can they be used for anything else, or do they have to be discarded? 3. If I want to add Essential oil to a Toner formulation but don't want to use a Solubilizer, what is the minimum percentage of Alcohol needed? Thank you.
