I purchased **Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum** about 3 months ago. I have two questions regarding its appearance under different storage conditions: 1. **Refrigerated Storage:** I stored the serum in the refrigerator (chilled) continuously. When I took it out to use, I noticed small white crystals appearing, although not in large amounts. Is this precipitation, or is it a normal occurrence? I have transferred the serum to an opaque plastic pump bottle. 2. **Room Temperature Storage:** I had some serum left in the original bottle provided by the company and kept it at room temperature (in an air-conditioned bedroom all day). When I opened it, the serum's color had changed from clear light yellow, as it was initially, to an orange-yellow color. Is this abnormal? Does this mean it has spoiled? The product packaging stated a shelf life of 180 days, but it has only been 3 months, and the serum's color has already changed. (I don't have photos, I discarded the bottle.)

I would like to inquire about methods to make **Titanium Dioxide 200nm SilkTouch™** in a foundation/BB/CC cream formula apply smoothly and blend well into the skin. My current formula is: * Water = 64.20% * Magnesium Sulfate = 1% * Preservative = 1% * Water in Oil = 1.50% * LipidSoft CC = 5% * Dimethicone Very light = 5% * mineral oil (light type) = 3% * Skin tone adjusting color = 0.30% * Cyclomethicone = 5% * Titanium Dioxide 200nm SilkTouch = 4% * Silk Mica Powder = 10% When I mix all ingredients and apply to my arm, I find that the **Titanium Dioxide 200nm SilkTouch™** seems to cling to the hairs on my arm and leaves a white cast, not blending completely into the skin. Are there any methods to prevent **Titanium Dioxide 200nm SilkTouch™** from clinging and leaving a stain, or to make it blend smoothly into the skin?
