Formulation with High Active Ingredient Concentration

Asked by: siripornmaneerak On: September 05, 2019 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Can I formulate a product by mixing the following ingredients at these percentages?

  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera) 82%
  • Repair Activator™ 15%
  • Pep®-Coll 3%

Answer

Thank you for sharing your proposed formulation. It appears you have listed three active ingredients and their percentages, totaling 100%.

However, a typical cosmetic formulation usually requires a base (such as water, a gel base, or a cream base) and other essential components like preservatives, stabilizers, and pH adjusters, in addition to the active ingredients.

Mixing only active ingredients at these high percentages is generally not a standard or recommended method for creating a stable, safe, and effective cosmetic product. The ingredients need to be properly incorporated into a suitable base.

You might want to consider using a pre-made base formulation or adding a base and other necessary ingredients to your mixture.
