Question
Can I add the following ingredients to a toner formulation, and what benefits would they provide, especially for oil control and skin brightening? Are they compatible with Niacinamide (Safe-B3)?
- L-Carnitine
- Rice Vitamin (Inositol)
- GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine)
Answer
Hello,
You can add the ingredients you asked about. These ingredients offer benefits that align well with your goals:
- L-Carnitine and Rice Vitamin (Inositol) can help with oil control.
- GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine) helps with skin brightening and works well with Niacinamide (Safe-B3) which the staff previously recommended.
However, as the staff mentioned, adding more ingredients and at higher concentrations might make the toner feel stickier. It is recommended to try mixing a small batch first or consider slightly reducing the percentage of some ingredients if the texture feels too heavy.
