I don’t exactly understand your request. What aspect of your formula do you want to improve?

In my opinion you have way too much Tocopherol. You are trying to protect 5% lipid only. This much might cause pro-oxidation.
I would also drop Tocopherol Acetate or remove it completely. Tocopherol will give you some skin antioxidant benefits too.
Other than that, I have the same question as Perry.

Thank you Perry, i’m final reading the ratios before sending to the lab, concern is mainly with the formula balance and the broader preservatives i’m using.
Patrik, thank you too for the antioxidant note, definitely as you advised.

Preservation system might need improvement. Clay is very difficult to preserve. I would use parabens.
