About Cetiol Ultimate
In which phase should I add cetiol ultimate and what is the right dosage for proper deliverance of the actives? Is there any other better ingredient in the cetiol series, which one can try?

Goes in the oily phase.
As with anything in this broad category (emollients)….there are many aspects to consider. I once tried to put this in a deodorant for people with sensitive armpit skin (me)…. I almost went to the hospital! Solvents often get lumped into the emollient section. Never forget that skin is coated in sebum….and solvents dissolve sebum. Hence you have to look at your emollients/solvents very closely for what you are attempting to accomplish.
Probably the first category break-out would be volatility….the one you mentioned is volatile. If this is a requirement? If so, you have knocked many of the candidates out of the race.
For me, D5 was the perfect replacement….it could be used on sensitive skin with no need to be dialing 9-1-1 while applying. (Of course, D5 is not really gonna deliver actives….but there is a myriad of ways to get that done.) * Note: C Ultimate could be used on any of my other skin parts that are not as sensitive skin!
So, an early take-away I had to learn….was…. many emollients are solvents, and how much of that aspect do I want in the product. Penetration enhancers…well, they are a dime a dozen.
