NaCl was to thicken the problem but I dont thinkt it’s working here.

I thought that initially too, regarding the air bubbles. But I can see liquid on top so it’s clear to me the bubbles on top arent just from trapped air but actually splitting of a failed emulsion.

Do you have any ideas on what I could do here?

Thank you for your advice. I have reformulated with this in mind especially reducing the glycols to 5%.

Great suggestions. I have now reduced my glycols to 5% total. Fingers crossed.

The final pH of the product was 6.25. Is there something else I can add? In hindsight, I am not sure Inulin Lauryl Carbamate is doing much at all…

Also, sulfurophane is a liquid which i had after the emulsification as it’s heat sensitive. Is it possible that is what’s splitting here?
