Question
I am planning to create a Cica Sleeping Mask using a pre-made base and several active ingredients. Please review the following formulation to confirm if it is usable, and provide detailed instructions on the correct mixing procedure, particularly regarding the different solubility characteristics of the ingredients.
Cica Sleeping Mask Formulation
- Cica sleeping mask base: 200 g
- WhiteCumin: 1 g
- Pep radiance: 2 g
- Beta glucan: 6 g
- Pep-coll: 6 g
- Mild Preserved Eco™: 2 g
Is this formula usable, and how should I mix these ingredients?
Answer
The formula you proposed is usable, and the concentrations of all active ingredients are within the recommended usage ranges for a cosmetic product.

| Ingredient | Amount (g) | % in Total (217g) | Recommended Range | Notes |

| Cica Sleeping Mask Base | 200 | 92.17% | - | Ready-to-use base. |
| WhiteCumin™ | 1 | 0.46% | 0.1-1.0% | Whitening/Antioxidant. |
| Pep-Radiance™ | 2 | 0.92% | 0.5-2.0% | Whitening Peptide. |
| Beta Glucan (90%) | 6 | 2.76% | 0.1-5.0% | Soothing/Moisturizing. |

Mixing Instructions
The Cica Sleeping Mask Base is an emulsion, so you will be incorporating the actives into the finished base.
- Weigh the Base: Measure 200 g of Cica Sleeping Mask Base into a clean container.
- Prepare Water-Soluble Actives:
- Combine Pep-Radiance (2g), Beta Glucan (6g), Pep-Coll (6g), and Mild Preserved Eco™ (2g) in a separate beaker.
- Add a small amount of distilled water (e.g., 5-10 g) to this mixture and stir until all powders are fully dissolved. This ensures even distribution in the final product.
- Prepare WhiteCumin™:
- WhiteCumin is an oil-soluble/dispersible powder. For the best result, you can mix the 1 g of WhiteCumin with a very small amount of the Cica Sleeping Mask Base (e.g., 5-10 g) first to create a smooth paste before adding it to the main batch.
- Combine and Mix:
- Slowly add the dissolved water-soluble active mixture into the main Cica Sleeping Mask Base.
- Next, add the WhiteCumin paste (or the powder directly, if you skipped the pre-mixing step).
- Stir gently but continuously with a spatula or a low-speed mixer until the mixture is completely homogeneous and smooth. Avoid high-speed mixing to prevent air bubbles.
- Package: The finished product is ready to be packaged.
