    After alot of tries to make effective formula  end up by this formula and i want your recommendations and probability of drawbacks 

    - 90 % paraffin oil 
    - 9% IPm ( isopropyl mistrate ) as a wetting agent and shine booster ( shine for long time ) 
    - probyl paraben ( antioxidant)
    - 1 % fragrance oil

    the result is very good 

    but i am asking about any drawbacks 
    i have tried silicone oils and essential oil and alot of emulsifiers and results was not an excellent and get many separation .

    the only concern is the polish may gone after one day , a reshine perfectly by simple ripping ,  

    thinks for advice ????

    No need for propylparaben in there. No need for an antioxidant in there either. DEL that and ADD more isopropyl myristate for a better, less expensive shiner. BTW, most of these are based on the silicone gum blends (crospolymers), not straight dimethicone, but if it works….why fix it?

    For polish i prefer silicone or silicone gum with some wax like carnauba or , do some dilution using odd and IPP or IPM, for shine just add phenyltrimethicone , the result will whine much longer ( in my formulation up to 2 weeks), don’t using oil because it will trap dust and need repolish in this formulation no need use preservative since it not contain any water

    I had preferred paraffin oil because i have found that it’s a much cheaper than any type of silicone plus i  get alot of separation with all tries with emulsions .

    could you suggest a formula doesn’t contain Water .?
    - paraffin - IPM - phenyltrimethicone - pefume oil - antioxidant
