Hello, can I use it in face serum? Do you have other suggestions for face serum? Thanks!: Yes you can use this product in a serum. You can also use hyaluronic acid, vitamin C in a face serum
I thought Carbomer was water soluble--not oil soluble. But a couple answers to other questions say to add to the oil phase and that it can be added to oils?: Yes, you will add the product to the oil phase and then add it to the water based product.
Can this be added to a body oil?: Yes, you can use Carbopol 940 polymer thickener in body oils:
How is this incorporated into a formula? Is it mixed with anything before adding?: You would add this product to the oil phase
Will this clump when added directly to a recipe or is there a need to make a slurry with it?: It is always best to add this to a small amount of the recipe and stir until combined and smooth. Add that mixture to the remainder product and mix well.
