Question

When calculating the 100% for a lipstick formulation, should everything in the formula be included, or are there other components, such as color and fragrance, that should be calculated separately from the 100% total?

Answer

Hello! Thank you for your question regarding lipstick formulation calculation.

Based on your inquiry and the information provided, when calculating 100% of a lipstick formulation, everything in the formula should be included within this 100%.

Therefore, the quantities of both color and fragrance used in the lipstick formula must be included in the calculation to reach the total of 100% for the entire formula.
