I’d like to make a palm free face cream using your emulsifier. Can i replace the oils with oils of my choice?
I’d also like to use a herbal water infusion, will that destabilise the cream? What % of the cream should be the
emulsifier?

The vegetable oils chosen were selected for their light feeling on the skin. You can experiment on changing the oils, but bear in mind that an oil like Macadamia, as an example, will use up more of the emulsifier’s ability to hold the emulsion together, so could be more prone to separation.
Herbal Infusion definitely are a risk to an emulsion splitting, and you need a strong emulsion in the first place. Every different herb used gives a different potential for problems, so we cannot give a list of them.
With herbal infusion, you also need to increase the preservative level to 1.1% and keep the total at 100%.
With so many changes you have planned, it would be impossible to know which change caused the difficulty if is does split. I suggest trying small samples and make only one change at a time to see how it goes. It’s all part of the learning curve!
