What percentage do you recommande using when combining both preservatives and is phenoxyethaol suitable for water based formulas ?

@emma1985
I used a solution of sodium hydroxide to adjust the PH ,but I’m positive that it’s between the clay and the acids.
Just as I started to incorporate the clay mix to the water phase everything started foaming and the scent was very bad .
In order to see what was wrong,I mixed saparatly each clay with lactic acid. The kaolin started foaming but not the pink clay I also did the green clay just to see if it was going to react or not, it did.
here is some picsfirst pic is when I added the clays to the water phase
second pic : kaolin + lactic acid
third pic : pink clay + lactic acid
I did the same replacing the lactic acid with citric, and same results .

Graillotion said:Use the search bar, and enter the word ‘soaping’.

Paprik said:What @Graillotion said and also ….
Please check your emulsifiers. Are you trying to create O/W emulsion or W/O?
@Paprik O/W emulsionAnd please, do not calculate anything. There is no general rule. Well, the 1/4 of oils may work for one or two emulsifiers.
I wonder how the cream feels actually. And what is your skin type. I guess ultra dry?
It’s a rich cream for those with dry skin it hydrate and also protect. I usually don’t add coconut oil but I like to play with different emollients, it may appear from the formula I shared quite greasy but I can confirm to you that it’s really not, the cream gets absorbed easily and is not that heavy . but it’s definitely not for oily skin type.thank you for the advice !
