I would say go for pH 4 and never above pH 4.8
-
Your caprylyl glycol + 1,2 hexandiol and potassium sorbate will be a better option at that pH.
-
caprylyl glycol + 1,2 hexandiol is 50:50.
What is your pH?
-
Remove panthenol and glycerin
-
MGDA might be better than GLDA but at such low pH the only option seems to be phytic acid.
-
How much oils do you have?

The problem with petrolatum is it makes your skin darker. I don’t think it causes acne.
I have some acne but not where i apply petrolatum.
Start from 5-10% and see what you like the most.

Coco glucoside doea

I think thapt guar+ pq7+ 2% amodimethicone emulsion is too much. You can reduce everything by half.
Can you write the details of your amodimethicone emulsion?
I couldn’t find it on internet.
-
@ketchito would adding a cold process emulsifier like polyglyceryl 4 laurate help the stability?
-
Yes peg-12 dimethicone is a good option
-
No
I say that because at pH 4 potassium sorbate is better option than CHA in anyway and caprylyl glycol + 1,2 hexandiol is better than caprylyl glycol alone.
0.15% potassium sorbate at pH 4 is more powerful than 0.06% CHA
0.15% potassium sorbate is less expensive than 0.06% CHA

What ingredients are in your product and what is your product?
This preservative doesn’t work well in surfactant systems.
I would not use less than 1% in any case.
-
According to this chart i said phytic acid is stable at lower pH.

Why cetyl alcohol and not cetearyl alcohol?
-
How so? ????????
-
I don’t know about its biochemical explanation too but for use using it makes skin darker under the sun compared to applying nothing. Although applying nothing will make your skin burn faster.

My full ingredients
Glycerin, petrolatum, mineral oil, cetearyl alcohol, GMS, SLS, xanthan gum, acacia gum, EDTA, preservatives, citric acid, fragrance and water.

Yes. Specially if you are in sun for some time during the day and apply it to face 1 or 2 time a day compared to applying nothing.
I am making a moisturizer with petrolatum as occlusive ingredient and 90% of users have noticed this effect on face.
My product has petrolatum, mineral oil and glycerin
-
At 1:1 ratio viscosity is on top as @chemicalmatt said. In my 3% of each surfactant will give you enough viscosity without any extra salt.

Ok
Thanks

Will hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate work the same as hydroxypropyl starch phosphate?
