the vitamin c remains stable in the pg/si emulsions…

Thanks for the info! I was referring to propylene glycol in silicone emulsion (pg/si) though not water in silicone… So I don’t think that formula is relevant…
-
Cetyl PEG-PPG–10/1 Dimethicone was what I was thinking too… a silicone wax maybe an elegant solution?Trulux also sells it and I was thinking about picking it up there…

Thanks for the response!I was actually making a PG/Si emulsion using Lotioncrafters SE (self emulsifying) Serum.Esentially my formula is 5% Vitamin C, 50% propylene glycol and 45% Lotioncrafters SE Serum (INCI: Dimethicone (and) Cyclopentasiloxane (and)
Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Dimethicone/PEG-10/15
Dimethicone Crosspolymer).The emulsion is high viscosity for about a day till it drops by the next day or two but it stabilizes at this new lower viscosity. I was just wondering if their is anything I can add to the silicone phase phase to thicken it back up? -
i was asking if any hobbyist/craft retailers were selling it…
-
where did you buy the easynov?

Well I emailed lotioncrafter and they suggested that the cream was failing the stability test due to a phenomenon called “sweating” and that I should stabilize the water phase with more emulsifier, or a polymeric thickener or a solubilizer…
