[Zink]

Do you have any specific solubilizing oils in mind or could you point me in the direction of some relevant reading? Not something I’m familiar with. And thank, “stable suspension” was the term I was looking for

Shahbaz: Got any experience with those? Why do you think they would work?

Perry: Thanks for the carbomer req, Vitamin E acetate is more an example of an oil, not sure I’m going to use it, not convinced by the science, but a lot of people like it.

Mike: I actually ordered sclerotium gum a few days ago, looks promising. I will def test carbomer and I’ll look into Pemulen. Regarding Cetyl, Cetearyl and their likes, would they not be required to create a robust emulsification if using say 10% oils? Also I’d be concerned about zinc aggregating and the bottom, so wondering what system will give me robust emulsification, stable colloidal dispersion of zinc, and thin enough consistency to be applied by dropper.

Thanks a bunch for the feedback, hope to have some data to share next week.
