Answer
Subject: Regarding your Cica Sleeping Mask formula
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your formula. Regarding your questions:
- Possibility of good texture: The final texture largely depends on the specific "Cica Sleeping Mask Base" you are using. If the base is designed to form a good sleeping mask texture, adding these ingredients at the specified percentages should generally be possible without preventing texture formation.
- Will it be too liquid? This also depends on the base's original viscosity and how it interacts with the added ingredients. While some ingredients can slightly affect viscosity, the percentages used here are relatively low and are unlikely to make a stable base excessively liquid, unless the base itself is very sensitive.
- Mixing without heat: Many pre-made cosmetic bases are designed for cold or room-temperature processing. The ingredients you are adding are generally water-soluble and can typically be incorporated without heating. However, it is crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of your "Cica Sleeping Mask Base". They will have the most accurate guidance on how to mix and process the base and what temperature is recommended for adding other ingredients.
In summary, the success of the texture and the required mixing method depend primarily on the properties and instructions for the "Cica Sleeping Mask Base". Please consult the technical data sheet or instructions for the base you are using for the most accurate information.
