I have the following formula and mixing procedure and would like to know if it can be done and if the mixing method is correct. **Formula:** * Shea Butter (Refined) 10% * LipidSoft CC 5% * Lactic Acid (AHA) Neutralized 10% * Butter Cream Maker 3% * Mild Preserved Eco 1% * Water 71% **Proposed Mixing Procedure:** 1. Warm the oil phase until homogeneous. 2. Dissolve Lactic Acid, Butter Cream Maker with water until combined. Warm to the same temperature as step 1. 3. Gradually pour the oil phase and blend with the water phase. Then add Mild Preserved Eco and stir until combined. Is the mixing method correct? Also, is Lactic Acid (AHA) Neutralized considered an electrolyte since its pH has been adjusted? And can Satin Cream Maker be used instead of Butter Cream Maker? Thank you.
I am making liquid hand soap and want to mix in gold leaf. However, the gold sinks and settles. I would like to know if there are any substances that can lift the gold leaf to keep it suspended in the liquid soap.

I would like recommendations for ingredients for a cream product that has properties to help with: * Acne treatment * Melasma/Freckles * Wrinkle reduction * Skin brightening In a 3-in-1 cream/gel format, to reduce the number of products used for convenience. I want to order production for personal use and for close contacts, and if it shows good results, I will order production for sale. P.S. It would be even better if the formula can be used by pregnant women. Thank you.
I would like to inquire about the potential effects of the following serum formulation on the skin: **Active Ingredient Percentages:** * Sodium Hyaluronate Solution = 25% * Vitamim C (`L-ascorbic acid`) = 15% * Argireline C (PD010) = 3% * Vitamin E - Acetate Care = 0.1% * Ferulic Acid = 0.1% * Tego Cosmo C250 = 1% * Lactil = 0.15% *Note: Dissolved in Glycols.* Based on the formula above, if the serum has a pH of 3.5 (clear gel) and does not cause a slight warming or tingling sensation on the face upon application, unlike other brands I've used which do cause a slight warmth or tingling, does this indicate that the `L-ascorbic acid` is still stable? Furthermore, when having products manufactured by an OEM factory, how can I verify that they have included the active ingredients at the percentages they stated? The active ingredients in this formula are included in relatively high amounts, but the perceived results differ from many brands I've tried that claim the same or lower amounts of active ingredients. *P.S. I am manufacturing with an OEM factory but purchasing some ingredients from Myskin.*
