Mist Stability Help
I am trying to formulate a hydrating face mist with humectants and aquaxyl but whenever i try to add a gum for stability, the mist does not spray as desired and becomes a serum which sprays from my atomiser as a jet. Conversely, when I do not add a gum, the glycerin tends to seperate. My formula is 90% water. I have tried Xanthan Gum and Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate. Is there a way out of this?

@drsimranjit_lv If you have a mist, as long as you’re using water soluble ingredients or a solubilizer for the ingredients that are not so soluble, you don’t need to add a gum.

But I have seen many formulations with Carbomer and Gums which have a similar use case and formultion claims. How do they manage droplet sizes?

Better actuators- packaging can influence the spray pattern. Glycerin shouldn’t be separating from a water based serum, you have something else going on
