I am trying to create a sunscreen formula for sensitive and acne-prone skin. I want to avoid using Cyclopentasiloxane because I had problems with clogging when using a mousse sunscreen containing it. However, my formula includes Dimethicone, which I personally have not had issues with. Here is my proposed formula: * Sensitive Cream Maker: 5% * Fractionated Coconut Oil: 34% * Zinc Oxide Neutral: 15% * Titanium Dioxide 200nm Easy Diperse: 9.8% * Beige Iron Oxide Easy Mix: 3.6% * Distilled Water: 26.2% * Allantoin: 1% * Jojoba Ester: 1.2% * Natural Bisabolol: 1% * Di-alpha-Tocopherol: 0.3% * Ectoin: 2% * Mild Preserved Eco: 0.9% Total: 100% My proposed mixing method is as follows: 1. Mix Sensitive Cream Maker, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Zinc Oxide Neutral, Titanium Dioxide 200nm Easy Diperse, and Beige Iron Oxide Easy Mix using heat until dissolved. Add Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, and Iron Oxide and blend until combined. 2. Mix Distilled Water, Allantoin, Jojoba Ester, and Natural Bisabolol until combined. 3. Warm the mixtures from step 1 and 2 to similar temperatures. Slowly pour mixture 2 into mixture 1, blending or stirring quickly until fully combined. 4. Add Natural Bisabolol, Di-alpha-Tocopherol, and Mild Preserved Eco to the combined mixture and blend again until homogeneous. I would like to ask: * Can Sensitive Cream Maker be used as the emulsifier for this cream formulation? * Are the usage percentages and compatibility of the added active ingredients suitable for this formula? * Are the proposed mixing steps correct? Thank you.

I am currently developing a **gel** formulation and have a texture issue. I want it to be light but more viscous.

Thank you.
I have a cream formulation with the following parts: Part A: 1. Ethanol 10% 2. Solution in alcohol 20% Part B: 3. Jojoba Oil 7.5% 4. Wax Cream Maker 7.5% 5. Preservative 1% Part C: 6. Xanthan Gum (ชนิดเจลใส, เนื้อเนียนไม่ยืด) 2% 7. Distilled Water 57% My mixing process is as follows: After mixing Part A + Part B together, I add Xanthan Gum to disperse it in the A+B mixture, and then add the water (Part C) later. This results in the sticky cream texture I want. The problem is: There are small powder particles in the cream. It looks like the Xanthan Gum did not dissolve completely. I suspect my mixer might not have enough power, because when the cream becomes very thick, the mixer stops rotating. Could you please advise on what wattage/type of mixer I should buy that can mix thick cream to ensure Xanthan Gum dissolves completely?
