    What does your 100% concentration refer to? That the total formula should add to 100%? or the purity of the xanthan or glycerin should be 100%?

    Hi there,

    I’m assuming it’s the same serum you described in your other post. So you used/want to use xanthan gum+glycerin in an oil? Do you want to replicate a certain product? I’m asking because it’s not clear why would someone add water soluble peptides and xanthan gum and glycerin in an oil mixture.

      hay dear,

      no dear it’s the first time i prepared this formulation, water phase is not completely disappears in oil phase.

      do you think is wrong to add water soluble peptide and xanthan gum+glycerin in oil phase?

        It is not wrong, it is a nonsensical action: you need water as a solvent for water soluble ingredients.

        You could sign-up for the beginner course offered here, to get some knowledge on ingredients and emulsion making.

        Check the ingredients on the eyelash serums with peptides on the market: water is the first ingredient on the list.
