If you use benzyl alcohol+ sodium benzoate or phenethyl alcohol+ sodium benzoate it will be cheaper and more effective and you will be more in control.

I like pH of 4 for my emulsions.

Decyl glucoside reduces viscosity

Replacing some taurate with Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate or Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate can save you some money too ????

Thanks

Try to get at least 0.1% preservative in acid form by reducing pH, increasing quantity or adding another antifungal preservative too.

Yes you can but i am not sure about ratios.

Maybe some water soluble antioxidant help.

It has only one percent NACL. I did make another batch with 0.5% NACL and it was the same.
Yesterday i did mix them again with high shear mixer and now that precipitation has gone to the top.
If it is salting, will it only precipitate to the bottom or it can go to the top too?

What is great about it? Emulsion stabilizing, viscosity increase, foam increase, skin feel or something else because it is not an inexpensive ingredient.

Is it better to saponify an oil or specific fatty acids for functionality and price?

It is very easy to use liquid. Final pH should be between 6-7. It depends on your formula

They applied some petrolatum on sides of nose, under eyes and lips too before applying the peel to prevent peel contact with those places.

The peel i have made, 3 women have used it as advised her. Wash the face with face wash, apply the peel one layer, rinse it after 20 minutes, use a moisturizer twice a day.
They used the peel by themselves but i was there to check if something happens and to advise them.
They said it is very tolerable, much more tolerable than bleaching your face as it is very common for women here to bleach their face by themselves.
One man with acne has used it as spot treatment on one of his acne. I don’t know it was papule vs pustule. It was tolerable. His that one acne dried and is about to be removed by it self now after 4 days. We are seeing what will happen.
safety and liability aside, how about effectiveness for acne as spot treatment? Just for my knowledge.
-
That is a good point.
I will try but unfortunately it is difficult to find 95% ethanol here.

Ok ????

That is very interesting. In that case using salicylic acid may not have any advantage over sodium salicylate because of that two minutes window.
Can you share the data where have you read that?
