    So here’s a rundown:

    A. Cetyl Alcohol-1
        Ceteareth-6 (and) Stearyl Alcohol-1.5
        Ceteareth 25-2
        Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate-3
        Hydrogenated Polydecene- 6.5
        Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride- 6.5
        Potassium Cetyl Phosphate-1.5

    B. Water- 35.3
        Glycerin-4
        Propylene Glycol- 3
        TEA-1

    C. Cyclopentasiloxane-15
        Dimethicone-2
     Cyclopentasiloxane & Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer- 5
        Titanium Dioxide (and) Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate (BTD)-4
        Silica-2

    D. Polymethylsilsesquioxane- 6
        Arbutin- 0.2
        Euxyl PE-0.5
        Vit. E-1

    So my problem is that, it is thick but still ‘”flowy”. It is like a lotion. I want something like Olay and Ponds. What should I increase?

    Also, there is still some undissolved BTD. How can I resolve this? Thanks.
