LOVE this post. It is so true that experimenting with your ingredients is the only way to great formulations. I find very interesting how some preservatives destabilize a formula for no obvious reason and with just a few drops. I also find really interesting the sensitivity of BTMS to low ph..I say that now but when I formulate and destabilization happens...well I clearly am not happy!

Thank you Olympia. Yes indeed you are right about some preservatives being able to wreak havoc on a formula, and sometimes it's the component you least expect to mess everything up. :)
