Answer

Regarding your formula for SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Clone, you asked about the compatibility of water and silicone and if SiliSolve can emulsify them. Yes, SiliSolve (PEG-10 Dimethicone) is an emulsifier specifically designed to create emulsions of water and silicones. Its inclusion in your formula is appropriate for combining the water phase and the Silicone Gel. While SiliSolve is suitable for this purpose, the overall stability and compatibility of the final formula depend on the specific types and ratios of all ingredients used, as well as the manufacturing process.
