Question
When customizing "ready to use" products, how is ingredient compatibility ensured? Why are certain ingredients, such as L-Ascorbic Acid, not available options for mixing into these formulations, particularly concerning their pH?
Answer
Based on the staff's reply regarding "ready to use" products:
- The ingredients available for selection in the "ready to use" options are specifically chosen because they are compatible and can be mixed together without causing negative effects.
- If an ingredient is not listed as an option, it means it is not suitable to be mixed with the other available components in the current formulations.
- For example, L-Ascorbic Acid (a type of Vitamin C) is not an available option because it has a low pH which could negatively affect other ingredients in the formula.
Therefore, you can choose from the available options without worrying about harmful interactions, as the selection is curated for compatibility.
