    I use this emulsifier for all my emulsions and have never had any issues at all as well as the low 0.3% gmcy. The addition of the Xanthan helps to counter that. 

    I emulsify until Cream is formed and then after adding my Xanthan glycerin solution.
    I have another very similar formula that isn’t separating. So can’t understand what is happening with this one. I am well within the oil ratio for emulsifier in the formula as it can take up to 40% oils and mine is at 21%

    Percentage symbiomuls GC is 5% 
    I emulsify with a dynamic MX100 
    The longer and more high shear seems to make it separate more and when I tried by just stirring at the end after emulsification it brings it back together - if that makes sense.
