Answer

Based on the staff's reply, the formula you provided is compatible.

Here is the formula you listed:

  • Distilled Water 45.7g
  • Triethanolamine (TEA) 2.5g
  • Ferulic Acid 0.5g
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5) 0.5g
  • Ethoxydiglycol 20g
  • Propylene Glycol 10g
  • Glycerin 3g
  • Light Cream Maker 1%
  • d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) 1g
  • L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) 15g

The staff mentioned that L-ascorbic acid might cause the texture to soften slightly, but you can adjust by adding more Light Cream Maker to compensate.
