What ingredients are in your formula?
Are the actives water-soluble? If so, have you checked the solubility of your actives? g/100 ml?
-
Rose hydrosols
jasmine hydrosols
polysorbate 80
Sodium lactate
propylene glycol
azelaic and salicylic acid -
Azelaic acid is nearly insoluble in acid form (and inactive in its water soluble salt form) and salicylic acid is only sparingly soluble in water… what are the %?For which reason do you add polysorbate 80? What’s the pH, how do you plan on keeping your product bug free? -
My azelaic was 2 % while my salicylic was 1 %
-
Increase the propylene glycol concentration and the pH of this and you should be OK. I’m with @Pharma here too: why the Tween 80? Are you solubilizing a lipid component we do not see? Not seeing a preservative either. Troubling.
