Answer
Hair Serum Formula Review
- Pure Keratin (2%): Based on the product information for Pure Keratin™ (Natural, Australian Sheep Wool), this ingredient is a hydrolyzed keratin derived from sheep wool. It is designed for hair restoration and can be mixed directly into the water phase. A usage rate of 2% is suitable for a leave-on hair treatment like a serum. It should be compatible with a water-based formula.
- AminoCMC (2%): I was unable to find a specific product named "AminoCMC" with high confidence in the database search results. Without the exact product name or INCI name, I cannot confirm its compatibility or suitability for this formula. If this is a specific product from MySkinRecipes, please provide the full product name or link so I can check its details. Assuming it is a water-soluble ingredient intended for hair conditioning, it might be compatible, but this needs verification.
- Mild Preserved Eco (1%): The product Mild Preserved Eco™ (Preservative-Free) is a blend of Ethylhexylglycerin and 1,3 Propanediol. It functions as a preservative and humectant. It is water-soluble/dispersible and can be used in formulas with a pH of 4-9. A usage rate of 1% is within the recommended range for general cosmetic formulas to prevent spoilage. It is compatible with a water-based formula.
- Fragrance (1%): Adding a fragrance at 1% is common in cosmetic formulas. You should choose a cosmetic-grade fragrance oil or essential oil that is suitable for leave-on hair products. The specific scent is a matter of personal preference.
- Water (94%): Water is the base of this serum and is compatible with the soluble ingredients.
Overall Compatibility:
Assuming the "AminoCMC" ingredient is a compatible water-soluble hair care additive, the general structure of your formula (water base with water-soluble actives, preservative, and fragrance) is suitable for a hair serum. However, confirming the compatibility of "AminoCMC" is crucial.
Fragrance Recommendation:
As mentioned, the choice of fragrance is personal. You can select any cosmetic-grade fragrance oil or essential oil available that you like the scent of. Ensure it is approved for use in leave-on hair products at the concentration you intend to use (1%).
Ordering Production:
Regarding the issue with inputting ingredients on the website for production orders, I cannot directly assist with the website's interface or troubleshoot technical issues. It sounds like you are having trouble with the specific steps on the MySkinRecipes platform for custom orders. For assistance with this, I recommend contacting MySkinRecipes customer support directly. They can guide you through the process of entering your formula details correctly on their system.
