    Thank you @Pharma! I am interested in adult removal. I feel like it’s the biggest contributor to clogged pores/breakouts, especially water resistant formulas. They are so difficult to remove completely and I probably triple cleanse these days I was hoping I could figure out what would break them down the best and then create a cleanser with that. I appreciate your input and sorry for the tardy response. I didn’t see I had gotten a response.

    @ngarayeva001 yes, all of mine were room temperature. Need to play with it more, wondering if it would work better in an emulsion and I’ve seen 15% SA solution with only Propaneidol at a couple of online sellers so thought it should work.

    I dissolved 15% Salicylic acid into 1 ,3-propanediol with 7% Glycine Betaine (Beta vulgaris (Beet)) Sugar Extract. Now, when I tried to add it to water all of the salicylic globbed up, not sure why, I’m not that far into my experiments and learning yet but would love any insight.

    @Pharma WOW! I had no idea dog questions would be on this forum, naive on my part, brand new here and to the world of hand making skincare. Thank you for the time you took to share so much knowledge and related articles. My Yorkis has been miserable and I felt like I had tried everything besides creating something myself. And thank you @Belassi for posing the question and all of your personal insight!
