    @Zahra, obtain some C12-15 alkyl benzoate. That will dissolve Red #17 for pink color and will bridge the argan oil and UV filter with your cyclomethicones since it is miscible with both. That UV filter better be a liquid one however. Maybe use less, huh?

    Hi thanks
    Yes I have used C12_24 alkyl benzoate.
    When I synthesize my hair, it is colorless and transparent without argan oil.
    But when argan oil is added to it, it becomes cloudy.
    What to add to the hair serum to balance the phase of argan oil and silicone oil.
    I mix phenyltrimethicone or alkyl benzoate or isopropyl myristate with oil and silicone at temperatures above 300 ° C.
    But when combined with other silicones, it becomes cloudy.
    Here I have dealt with these problems.
    1- Blurring by argan oil
    2- It is transparent without argan oil. It is not a problem in terms of transparency, but it is a problem in terms of not having argan oil.
    3- Adding essential oil or perfume also causes turbidity
    I want the sample to be without this problem.
    I use high temperature to mix them.
    But I do not know how to solve these problems.
    Of course, I know that methicillin caprylic in silicon causes transparency and color dispersion.
    But I have not used it yet.
    I want to paint it but it is not transparent, I do not know what yellow to use?
