Skin Type: Normal to Dry

Staff Feedback:
The staff reviewed the formula and provided the following feedback:

• The formula can be mixed and used, but it might not be ideal for normal-to-dry skin.
• Normal-to-dry skin needs sufficient hydration for good skin health and optimal absorption of ingredients.
• Recommendation for hydration: For skin that is not very dry, add Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) 2% (ID 111). For very dry skin, consider adding oil, butter, wax, or silicone ingredients to help coat the skin.
• Recommendation for Willow Bark Extract: The concentration of 7% might cause skin irritation. It is recommended to start with a lower concentration of 3-4%.
