I have a question about formulating with Powdered Royal Jelly Extract (Acnebee - สารสกัดนมผึ้ง). The Royal Jelly Extract I previously bought was liquid, but this one is a powder. I tried using it in a formula I made before, but it dissolves initially and then turns back into a powder when mixed. Here is the formula I used: * Royal Jelly 0.5% * Preservative 1 % * Water * Vit B5 2% * B3 5% * Proprymer 0.7% * white oil 1.5% When I dissolved the Royal Jelly in the white oil and then mixed it with all the ingredients in the water phase, it turned into small particles, like it didn't dissolve. The old liquid version was easy, but I can't get this powdered one to work. Is there a suggested mixing method for this?

Will heating the shea butter dissolve the Palmitamide MEA? 2. What percentage of Menthone Glycerin Acetal should I use to achieve a cooling sensation similar to 3% Menthol in some very cool balms (like cooling massage balms)? 3. After cooling down, will the shea butter mixture solidify back into a solid form, or will it remain liquid?
