    Is this normally a problem with the biphase formula, or was my extract contaminated? Would you give a more detailed explanation, or suggest some documents I should read?

      Thank you so much Here’s another thing: Do I really need to add preservatives to my oil? I mean, it’s in a pump bottle and there’s only a small amount of water-soluble extract in it.

      Can I ask you why the blend of peg-40 and polysorbate 20 works well? I thought that people usually use a mixture of high and low HLB emulsifiers, why do you use both high HLB emulsifiers in your formulation?
