    You need to use some refatting agents.. If you don’t want to use PEG’s, you can use PEG-free refatting agent.

    You can’t use 1% retinol in formula. Is to much.
    The SCCS has estimated that exposure to Vitamin A (retinol, retinyl palmitate, and retinyl acetate): 
    - via hand cream at the maximum concentration of 0.3% may lead to daily systemic
    dose of 1661 IU for an adult. This exposure could constitute up to 33% of the UL of
    5000 IU/day of Vitamin A. Therefore, the SCCS considers that the use of Vitamin A in
    hand cream products per se is safe.

    - via face cream at the maximum concentration of 0.3% may lead to daily systemic dose of 1185 IU for an adult. This exposure could constitute up to 24% of the UL of 5000 IU/day of Vitamin A. Therefore, the SCCS considers that the use of Vitamin A in face cream products per se is safe. 
    - via rinse-off products at the maximum concentration of 0.3% may lead to a daily systemic dose of 408 IU for an adult. This exposure could constitute up to 8.8% of the UL of 5000 IU/day of Vitamin A. Therefore, the SCCS considers that the use of Vitamin A in rinse-off products per se is safe.

    Stability test need to perform by laboratory. The product is stored at the 5 and 40 gr. celsius in termostate. After that we check ph and other parameters.

    Yes. Phenoxyethanol will work as a preservative alone
