Calculating Ingredient Amounts from Formula Percentages

Asked by: lady_pop2 On: July 31, 2016 Product Type: Cosmetics Answered

Question

I have a formula with ingredient percentages. Are these percentages fixed for a 100ml volume, or do they represent proportions that can be used for any total volume? How do I calculate the amount of each ingredient needed if I want to make a different total volume?

Answer

Hello!

The percentages provided in the recommended formula represent the proportion of each ingredient in the total formula, not a fixed amount for 100ml. You can use these percentages to calculate the amount of each ingredient you need for your desired total volume (e.g., if you want to make 50ml, multiply the percentage by 50ml).

You can find more details on how to calculate the amounts from the link the staff provided earlier.
