Formulation with High Active Ingredient Concentration
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.
