Question

I want to add natural plant extracts to a toner.

  1. Should I use water-soluble or oil-soluble extracts?
  2. How do I know the correct usage rate for each extract?

Answer

Hello!

Based on the information provided, some natural plant extracts can be mixed into toners, but there are important considerations:

  • Solubility: Most toners are water-based, so you should only choose plant extracts that are water-soluble. Oil-soluble extracts will not mix well and may separate.
  • Usage Rate: The appropriate usage rate for each extract varies. There is no single fixed rate for all extracts. Using too high a concentration can cause irritation or other side effects.

Recommendation:

  • Before choosing any extract, check its solubility properties to ensure it is water-soluble.
  • For the recommended usage rate, please check the information on the website for each specific extract product. This will indicate the rate recommended by the manufacturer or regulated by the FDA. Do not exceed the specified rate.

Hope this information is helpful! If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
