@Paprik - The lipid portion is approx 16%. I was told that you should add tocopherol to the oil phases for emulsification otherwise it wouldn’t be in ‘contact’ with the phases it is trying to protect. As for the preservative system, I have tried multiple but this one has passed PET testing at the start and after one year of storage at RT.

@suswang8 - See above as per the preservative. As for sodium phytate this is one of the options I am currently trying. Only issue is that it completely destabilised the siligel in my water phase, any idea why?

@Graillotion - See above as per product rotting. The pH of the product is 4.7.

Thanks for your responses.
