Question

I would like to inquire before purchasing if this lotion formula is usable and request the mixing steps.

This is a lotion formula focused on skin whitening:

  • Licorice Extract (Glabridin 40%) 0.02%
  • Butylene Glycol 0.5%
  • GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine) 4%
  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) 5%
  • Light Cream Maker™ 1%
  • Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure) 1%
  • Glycerin 5%
  • Water 83.28%
  • Fragrance 0.2%

Answer

This lotion formula looks like a viable formula aimed at skin whitening. It contains several well-known whitening ingredients:

  • Licorice Extract (Glabridin)
  • GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine)
  • Safe-B3™ (Niacinamide)
    These ingredients are generally compatible and work through different mechanisms to help improve skin tone.

Here are the suggested mixing steps for this lotion formula:

  1. In a clean container, combine Water, Glycerin, and Butylene Glycol. Mix until clear.
  2. Add GlucoBright™ and Safe-B3™. Stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Add Light Cream Maker™. Mix thoroughly using a stirrer (like a whisk or an overhead stirrer) until the mixture thickens and a uniform lotion consistency is achieved. This step may take some time.
  4. Add Licorice Extract (Glabridin 40%). Mix well to ensure it is fully incorporated.
  5. Add Phenoxyethanol. Mix well.
  6. Add Fragrance. Mix until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the finished lotion into your desired container.

Ensure all equipment is clean and sanitized before starting.
