  @BeautyScience Critique? No comedogenicity seen, hydration adequate as is. Now about that preservation….no acidulant cited for activating the sodium benzoate, but use of parabens greatly admired. Also must note your order of addition appears to be, shall I say, odd.

    Thanks for the comments. Can you explain about “odd”.

      I think they’re referring to adding the xanthan gum slurry (assuming you’re mixing it with the glycerin) after your emulsion has been made.

      Also, did you mean dimethicone? Or are you adding herbicide to your moisturizer?
