Gentle Mineral Spray Ingredients

To create a gentle mineral spray that hydrates and soothes normal skin, consider using the following types of ingredients:

• Base Water: Start with high-purity water like Purified Water, TDS Limit 1PPM).
• Minerals: Incorporate mineral complexes or individual minerals that are easily absorbed by the skin. Options include Bio-Mineral™ (Fermented Si+Mg+Cu+Fe+Zn), Manganese Gluconate, and Magnesium Aspartate. These can help nourish the skin.
• Hydration Boosters: Add humectants and moisturizing agents to draw and retain moisture in the skin. Good choices are Sorbitol Solution 70%, UltraMild Aquaporin™ (Glyceryl Glucoside, Low-Sticky), VersaMoist™, and TransMoist™ (PPG-24-Glycereth-24). WaterSoft™ (PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer) can also provide a soft feel.
• Soothing Agents: To ensure the spray is gentle, include ingredients known for their calming properties. Pep-Calm™ (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8) and Portulaca Extract (Purified Colorless Liquid) are excellent for reducing irritation.
• Optional Floral Waters: For added benefits and a pleasant natural scent, you can use floral waters like Lavender Water (Lavandula Angustifolia) or Bulgarian Rose Water. If using these as the main ingredient (over 60%), they may contain their own preservatives.
• Preservative: Since this is a water-based product, a suitable preservative is essential to prevent microbial growth. (Select a gentle, broad-spectrum preservative appropriate for cosmetic use).

When formulating, ensure all ingredients are compatible and follow recommended usage rates for each raw material.
