    As @jemolian said you can adjust % of your ingredients to get the skin feel you want.
    Menthol can be use as cooling agent.
    Borage and menthol - I don’t know where is this leading to.

    A little flush when applied. Thanks for your comment.  I will change with another

    It depends on what you mean by “poor absorption”. Normally you just need to adjust the skin feel. Perhaps you can reduce the percentage of fatty alcohols. 

    @Pattsi i’d assume U20 is Ultrez 20. 

    Thanks a lot. Now I m trying again.

    Maybe you can try reducing you oil phase and use thickener. It might help with “seem like faster absorption” feeling.
    what is U20?  

    Thanks a lot for your advice. I will try it.

    Oil-free is a marketing term. What they usually mean by this is “free of standard vegetable oils”. Those products often include lightweight silicones (D5 for example) or esters (like in this product). What bothers me more is that they called PEG-100 stearate a thickener :) Is “emulsifier” a new swear word?

    I agree. A165 is novel emulsifier, not a thickner I think.

    Why not A165?
