Regarding a serum containing the following ingredients: * Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) * Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Can these ingredients be mixed in the same formulation? I have read that Vitamin C should not be mixed with B3 in a formulation, so I am unsure. However, many serum brands contain both Vitamin C derivatives (MAP) and B3 in the same formula. I would like to understand for my knowledge whether these can be mixed in the same serum formulation and if there are any side effects.

I am using the following sunscreen formula: * Water 44% * Cyclomethicone 15% * Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid 25% * Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid 15% * Mild Preserved Eco 1% The problem is that when applied, it leaves a severe white cast, especially on dark skin. Also, after a while, my face feels very dry. Is there a way to help make the white cast less noticeable? Can I add oil or anything else to prevent the face from looking dry?

I am planning to produce a sunscreen cream and would like you to review the formula first. I aim for SPF50+ PA++++ with a lightweight, easy-to-spread texture, medium coverage, and a dewy finish.

I would like to ask if a formula like this can be mixed manually by hand. Here is the formula: 1. Water 29.5% 2. Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear) 16% 3. Titanium Dioxide 15nm Liquid 15% 4. Zinc Oxide 35nm Liquid 15% 5. Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (Methicone) 5% 6. Alumina 5% 7. BB Micro Silk 5% 8. Silicone Blender 4% 9. PMMA Booster 3% 10. SiliSolve 1% 11. Mild Preserved Eco 1% 12.
