PEG 400 50%, PEG 4000 25%, EDTA 15%, UREA 5%, H2O2-5%.
After week it’s losses viscosity.
Any guesses?? pH= 7.2

Hmm wear is the gelling agent? you are just creating Viskosity by adding high melting PEG 4000 aren’t you? i would gues you destroy your PEG cains with the high potent Urea hydrogen peroxide you are Greeting with this mixture.
However, what is the purpose of this formulation? is that a cosmetic product or a bleaching agent? Combining urea and H2O2 will lead to the formation of Urea hydrogen peroxide (CH6N2O) which is a very potent Bleaching product what are the 15 % EDTA for ?

PEG-400 & 4000 melted together. I think pH roll is important here. I try keeping different different pH.

I am with gordof here: why so much EDTA? It doesn’t make any sense. Is there a decimal point missing? Also not especially safe orally.
