Peel-Off Mask Powder Formulation Questions

Here are the answers to your questions regarding your peel-off mask powder formulation:

1. Adding Dried Rose and Hyaluronic Acid

Yes, you can add dried rose petals or rose powder, such as Dried rose buds (for water-based, no color bleed) or Rose Powder rose powder (extra fine 12 microns), and Hyaluronic Acid (like Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) or Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule)) to your peel-off mask powder as active ingredients or for visual/textural appeal.

The 5% listed for "Active ingredient" in your formula is likely a suggested guideline for the total amount of active ingredients. While you can technically exceed this percentage, it's important to consider how higher concentrations might affect the mask's texture, mixing properties, and peel-off ability. For Hyaluronic Acid, the typical recommended usage rate is 0.1-0.5%. Adding dried flowers or powder should also be done within limits that don't compromise the mask base's performance. It's best to start within suggested ranges and test the results.

2. Adding Fragrance

To add fragrance while keeping the mask in powder form, you can use a fragrance oil. The recommended method is to dilute the fragrance oil with Ethyl Alcohol and then spray this mixture onto the Peel-Off Mask Powder, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution. The suggested usage rate for fragrance in the mask powder is typically 0.5-1.0%.

3. Adding Color

To add color to the powder mask, you should use pigments or color powders designed for dry mixing, such as EasyMix Colors (like White Oxides EasyMix™). These are dispersion-treated powders that can be easily stirred into the mask powder base. The suggested usage rate for color is typically 0.1-2%.

4. Need for Preservative

The Peel-Off Mask Powder itself, being a dry powder, may not require a preservative if stored correctly away from moisture. However, if you are adding active ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, which can be prone to bacterial degradation once mixed with water, it is highly recommended to include a preservative in your powder mix. Although the mask is mixed with water just before use, a preservative helps maintain the stability and safety of the added ingredients before activation. Consider powder preservatives like Dehydroacetic Acid (99% Powder, Natural Preservative) or broad-spectrum options like Mild Preserved™ COS (pH 2-8, Broad Spectrum, No-Odor), keeping in mind their compatibility and mixing methods in a powder base.
