Mixing instructions
In case the formula is an emulsion: blend Glyceryl Caprylate to dissolve in water or oil (or add in the last part).
In the case of a surfactant formula: blend Glyceryl Caprylate to dissolve directly in the surfactant. In the case of surfactant being a liquid, or in the case of surfactant being a powder, blend it to dissolve in water first, then add Glyceryl Caprylate.
In case the formula is water (water-based) Add Glyceryl Caprylate to water and add Flora Solve Clear at the same rate as Glyceryl Caprylate to help Glyceryl Caprylate dissolve in water to become clear.
