I have an existing liquid soap base that doesn't produce much foam, and I want to use this base to make a clear liquid soap with more foam. How can I increase the foam? 1. Will adding `LAURIC ACID` help increase foam, and will the liquid soap become cloudy? (I want clear liquid soap) 2. If `lauric acid` can be used, what should it be mixed with to be compatible with the soap base? 3. Please recommend substances that can create foam if `lauric acid` cannot be used.

I attempted to make sunscreen following a formula based on SPF Protect Ultra II, with slight adjustments as shown below: **Formula:** * **Phase A:** * SPF Protect Ultra II: 15 * Milk Lotion Maker: 3 * **Phase B:** * Water: 80.2 * **Phase C:** * Satin Cream Maker: 1 * **Phase D:** * Phenoxyethanol SA: 0.8 **Method:** 1. Mix Phase A at 60-70°C, stirring with a magnet stirrer. 2. Heat Phase B to 60-70°C and add it to Phase A at a similar temperature. 3. Add Phase C and stir until Satin Cream Maker is completely dissolved. 4. Add Phase D. 5. Mixing speed for each step was approximately 1000-1200 RPM. The result is a cream with good texture, but there are persistent bubbles within the texture. Initially, I thought it was due to the mixing, but the bubbles haven't disappeared after 2 weeks. I would like to know why this happened and how I should adjust the process.

I would like to know the method for formulating a body lotion. Staff can add ingredients they think are better, recommend ingredients that are definitely more effective, or remove unnecessary or redundant ingredients. I want a body lotion that is easy to spread and absorbs quickly. I am not concerned about the texture being heavy or light, but the main focus is on achieving maximum skin whitening and brightening, aiming for a concentration that provides rapid and clear results, similar to a sleeping mask but in a body lotion or cream form. The results should be long-lasting, not disappearing within three days of stopping use. It should also provide hydration because my skin is slightly dry, helping the skin retain moisture well and for a long time. I am okay with potential skin irritation. Regarding my skin type: my skin is dark and sun-damaged, particularly on my arms and legs, with distinct lines compared to my body skin tone. My skin is slightly dry. I have a list of ingredients I'd like to use: 1. DI Water (remainder to 100%) 2. Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) 10% 3. GlucoBright (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) 4% 4. Alpha Arbutin 2% 5. Active Resveratrol 3-5% 6. Satin Cream Maker 1% 7. Shea Butter (Ultra Soft) 5% 8. Cyclomethicone / Cyclopentasiloxane (Low-Odor) 1% 9. Phenoxyethanol SA 1% 10. Vitamin C L-ascorbic acid (Ultra-Fine) 15% and Standard 15% 11. MOIST72 (Saccharide Isomerate) 5% 12. Nutto gum 13. Kojic Acid Dipalmitate Please provide the mixing method and suggest modifications to the formula to achieve the desired results.

I'm trying to make an alcohol-free perfume using fragrance oil (or essential oil) and water. I've added Fixative to help the scent last longer. The main problem is that the oil and water separate. I tried filtering with coffee grounds, but the oil doesn't pass through, which affects the skin nourishing property of the body mist. I need advice on how to mix the oil and water. Specifically: * What ingredient acts as a solubilizer to combine oil and water? * What is the appropriate usage amount for this solubilizer? * Will the solubilizer cause skin irritation, especially since I want to use it as a body mist? * Could you recommend which Fixative is better? * For a perfume formula with 20% essential oil, how should I measure the essential oil amount? (e.g., how many drops?) Thank you for your guidance.
