Formulation mistake: Using 2% Japanese Cedar Extract
Question
I made a mistake mixing ingredients. I added Japanese Cedar Extract at 2% into the formula. Can I use this product as is, or do I need to add other ingredients to rebalance the formula?
Answer
Regarding Your Formulation Mistake with Japanese Cedar Extract
You mentioned adding 2% Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria Japonica Bud Extract) to your formula by mistake. Based on the product information, the recommended utilization rate for Japanese Cedar extract is 1-3%, with 1% being the generally recommended concentration.
Since you added 2%, this concentration falls within the recommended range. Therefore, you should be able to use your product as is without needing to add other ingredients specifically to balance the Japanese Cedar extract concentration.
Japanese Cedar extract is known for its benefits in:
- Enhancing skin cell turnover
- Restoring strength to the skin barrier
- Improving skin hydration
- Acting as an effective anti-aging agent
Keep in mind that for clear and lasting results, continuous use for at least 30 days is recommended.
