Thank you all for the feedback; I will give it a whirl and see if my same formula will uphold.

@bobzchemist is correct - grey area. If ingredients have dual functions, there should be a “max value” as to what you can use the ingredient for one use; anything above that use makes it an active ingredient. I also believe that if the ingredient is adding more than an SPF level of two, you have to list it as an active ingredient.

Thank you, @perry! @milliachemist - I like the term “lazy phase” - I haven’t heard it before. What do you mean by it?

I’ve also read that even a small amount of oil can decrease the viscosity of a shampoo product. Anyone experienced this?

Try making a 50% solution and adding that. Start by adding .05% increments.

SquareSpace is $8/month if you pay for the whole year. Month-to-month is $10. It comes with a shopping cart integrated so you can sell products and the merchant account burden is through SquareSpace. You can also select and customize a template yourself. It is the cheapest way to get a shopping cart and website design into one.
