The formula you provided is complex due to the presence of many active ingredients at relatively high concentrations. Whether this formula can be successfully created depends on the compatibility of each ingredient, which requires thorough testing.

However, most ingredients in this formula can function well in a pH range around 5.5, which is a suitable pH for the skin. Adjusting the pH to the desired value can be done using Triethanolamine or other pH adjusters.

In summary:

Formulation Viability: This formula is challenging and requires careful testing of ingredient compatibility.
pH 5.5: This pH value is achievable and suitable for most ingredients in this formula.

If you need more information about each ingredient, feel free to ask.
