I am trying to formulate a cream with the following ingredients and percentages: * MSH White: 2% * Pure Melatonin: 3% * Palmaria Palmata Extract: 5% * Resveratrol LongMax: 5% * Cetyl Tranexamate: 5% * Silymarin: 1% * Activated Resorcinol: 1% * Yeast Resurface: 3% * Disodium EDTA: 0.2% * Satin Cream Maker: 1% * Phenoxyethanol SA: 0.5% * LipidSoft F: 8% * Butylene Glycol: 5% * Water: Balance * DMI: 3% My proposed mixing steps are: A. Oil phase: Mix MSH White + Silymarin + LipidSoft F and heat until dissolved. Let cool. B. Separate: Take some LipidSoft F to dissolve Melatonin. Set aside. (I'm unsure if it will dissolve, and if using Ethoxydiglycol at 3% for Melatonin requires exceeding the recommended level, so I don't fully understand Melatonin dissolution.) C. Glycol phase: Dissolve Cetyl Tranexamate + Butylene Glycol. D. Water phase: Dissolve Yeast Resurface, Palmaria Palmata Extract in water (add Disodium EDTA 0.2% to water first). E. Combine C + D, then add Satin Cream Maker, DMI. F. Slowly add A into E, then add Resveratrol LongMax and mix to disperse, followed by B. G. Add Phenoxyethanol SA. I have a few questions: 1. Please review if this cream can actually be made and if the steps are correct. 2. What can be used to dilute 3% Melatonin? 3. Do you have any recommendations regarding the mixing process? Thank you.

Regarding the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid 15%: The substance changes color from clear to light yellow and gradually darkens. In this case, can the serum still be used? Should I stop using the serum immediately when it changes color, or should I stop using it when the serum changes to a dark brown color? Would reducing the amount of L-ascorbic acid from 15% to 5% or 10% help reduce oxidation in the formula? (The formula uses water as a solvent and contains L-ascorbic acid 15%, Vitamin E 0.1%, Ferulic Acid 0.1) Alternatively, would adding a light yellow extract help reduce the visibility of the serum changing color? [Image showing serum color change is provided]

I am making a lip balm using **Water Balm** as the oil-water emulsifier and **Natural white bees wax** as the wax component. The resulting balm moisturizes the lips well, but the issue is that the color is cloudy and not appealing.

Alternatively, I would appreciate suggestions for an emulsifier/gelling agent that can create an **oil gel** texture and incorporate 10-20% water.

I have purchased the following ingredients from the website: * Essential Oil (Lavender) * Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) * Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) * Fractionated Coconut Oil * Flora Fix * 10 ml spray bottle I have tried mixing them in various ways, but no matter what, I encounter the problem that the scent disappears very quickly after spraying, lasting less than a minute.

Is there anything else I should buy to make a room spray that lasts a long time? Thank you very much.
