Answer
Formulation Questions Answered
Here are the answers to your formulation questions:
Formula 1: Gel with Vitamin C and Glutathione
Yes, you can use Lavender Water to replace Purified Water in the first formula you described (using Double Hyaluronic Gel made with Hyaluronic Acid Standard + Lavender Water, L-ascorbic acid, Glutathione, and Disodium EDTA).
The staff also recommended adding AnyGel at 1% to help create a better gel texture that is easier to apply.
Formula 2: Facial Spray
The ingredients you listed for the facial spray (Lavender Water, Pitera, and DMAE) are compatible and can be used together.
For this formula, the staff suggested adding:
- 1,2-Hexanediol at 3% to help the formula adhere better to the skin and act as a preservative booster.
- Flora Solve Clear at 1% to help reduce the appearance of water droplets when sprayed on the skin.
These additions can enhance the performance and usability of your facial spray.
