    I intended to dilute the solution using distilled water as the solvent. Which combination of preservatives would you suggest adding?

    What would you recommend for keeping skin hydrated and avoiding dryness?

    I thought this combination of preservatives would help a concentrated foaming cleanser be effective if diluted by 80%. Thank you for your help and time. If I understood correctly, this would be the formulation:

    Phase A:
    Water - 70%
    Glycerin - 5%
    Cocamide DEA - 2%
    Disodium EDTA - 0.1%

    Phase B:
    Cocamidopropyl Betaine - 8%
    Sorbitol - 4%
    Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate - 2%
    Allantoin - 0.5%
    Sodium Chloride - 0.5%

    Phase C:
    Fragrance - 0.5-0.8%
    Methylchloroisothiazolinone - 0.035%
    Methylisothiazolinone - 0.015%

    Total: 100%
    Can I still use lactic acid and sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH?
