It’s too soo it’s a little soon to tell, but it looks like the powdered ingredients might be starting to settle to the bottom while the oils are staying on top. It could be the ratios of liquid at room temp oil to hydrogenated oil I’m using.
I tried
21g CCT (fractionated coconut oil)
10g raw coconut oil (solid at room temp)
3g GMS
heated to melt and cooled. Then,
1g liquid soy lecithin
24g powdered formula (the magnesium glycinate, etc). -
Pharma, it is simply a paste with powders suspended. So the oil separates out of the mix. By the time it reaches my client (day 2), the paste has clumped within the dispensing tube and some of the oil has separated out. When he tries to administer, the paste is not consistant (at first difficult to push, and then separated oil sprays out, then difficult to push the remaining paste) I need it to dispense easily through an oral syringe with a wide tip (see photo) at a wide range of temperatures without solidifying or melting. I’m going to try the GMS as suggested and see what I get.

Herbnerd! Amazing. I’m going to try it now and post back with results. Thank you!!!

Oh that’s interesting about the mill. I hadn’t thought of that. I still think the oil will come out of solution since even nano zinc oxide mixed with oil has that issue. The problem is trying to get water soluble powders to stay evenly suspended in oil. Thanks.

Thanks EVchem. I was trying improve shelf life by avoiding water. Yes, for horses. I already have a water/glycerin/xathan/methylparaben version that works well. I know some companies are able to accomplish these pastes without aqueous ingredients. I wonder if a heating period is involved? Here’s an example : perfect prep paste (photo)as for soy lecithin, it’s not easy. Ive tried powdered and liquid. It does have other beneficial potentiation properties, besides emulsion.
