Any suggestion on the amount of cetaryl alcohol I should use?

I’d suggest you start with 2% and work from there

also, xanthan gum is anionic, meaning it’s incompatible with the Honeyquat; chances are that’s not helping matters at all

Should I get rid of the honeyquat all together? I was utilizing it so the glycerin would t get to sticky on the skin.
Thanks in advance.

I also added in another formulation 1g niacinamide. So water would be 75.1g

Hey there,
I’ve been using natural (deep orange in color) vitamin e to preserve my oils. Vitamin e slows down oxidation to my understanding.
