Based on the product description for Silky Serum Base Plus: "Silky Serum Base Plus can support up to 30% oil and silicone in the formula (including the proportion of Silky Serum Base Plus). The formula should contain at least 60% water (70% recommended for formula stability). **Adding 1% NaCl (pure salt) to the formula will help improve formula stability, especially if separation occurs after standing. It is recommended to use 1% in all formulas using Silky Serum Base Plus as the base, mixing until dissolved in the final step.** -It is recommended to add 1% Magnesium Sulfate to help improve formula stability. Add to the formula in the final step and mix until dissolved. This helps prevent separation well." I have the following questions: 1. Based on the description stating that Silky Serum Base Plus contains more water than oil and silicone, does this mean it is an **Oil in Water** emulsion? 2. The product page recommends adding both **NaCl** and **Magnesium Sulfate** for formula stability. Should I add both ingredients to the formula to enhance stability? 3. Regarding question 1, the information page for **Magnesium Sulfate** states: "**Magnesium Sulfate** is commonly used in **Water-in-Oil** formulas as an emulsion stabilizer (not suitable/should not be used in oil-in-water formulas)." Given that the information states it is not suitable for oil-in-water formulas, why is it recommended for use in formulas using **Silky Serum Base Plus**, which appears to be an oil-in-water base? Please explain and answer these questions. I may not fully understand, and I'm not sure.
