    @Sponge and @ngarayeva001 just an update- i received the super low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and the toner is a much better, even spray! that definitely did the trick
    One more question: with the lower molecular weight, do i need to adjust the percentage to my formula? In other words, is .15% of hyaluronic acid (regular weight) and super low molecular weight, equivalent in terms of contribution to the formula? or do i need to increase the % in my formula now?

    @Sponge hi there! yes, the sprayer sprays water just fine. In fact, the first few sprays transitioning from water to my formula sprays fine but then eventually becomes the “shoot”. I ordered the super low molecular weight version of hyaluronic acid so i will try out the formula with that modification and see if that helps!

    @evelinaco ahh gotcha. Well, this may be my problem. I see I purchased the version: Molecular weight 800-1200kDa. There is also a version called “super low molecular weight” which is only Molecular weight 8-15kDa. Should I be using the super low molecular weight version instead?

    @ngarayeva001 I’m not sure how to calculate daltons but I’m using .15g in a 100g solution if that helps any!

    Hi @EVchem ! I think I did my math wrong. I am wanting 100mg of CBD per bottle. Bottle holds ~100g. So I think it’s actually .1% and not 1% like I originally said! That may have been where I went wrong.
    I like your idea of trying to buy pre-emulsified CBD. I also had considered CBD isolate but wasn’t sure of the comparisons between isolate and oil from an efficacy standpoint. Have you tried isolate in any of your formulas?
    Yes, the aloe is 200x. Would you recommend nixing this from the formula or try to find a different emulsifier?
    Noted on adding an additional preservative. I actually have sodium benzoate so that will be just fine
