Mineral Spray Formulas for Oily/Combination Skin: Oil Control, Brightening, and Anti-Aging

Mineral Spray Formulations for Oily/Combination Skin (Age 40)

Hello! I understand you're looking for ingredient recommendations from MySkinRecipes to create a facial mineral spray for combination to oily skin, age 40, focusing on reducing oiliness, dullness, and wrinkles for use throughout the day. I have gathered information and would like to suggest 3 formula variations with the relevant ingredients.

Basic ingredients used in all formulas (for a total volume of 100ml):

• Purified Water: Approximately 85-90 ml (as the main component)
• WaterSoft™: 3 ml (helps the skin feel soft and smooth after use)
• Mineral Ready™ (Mn+Zn+Cu): 1 ml (essential minerals, helps with skin oxygenation, reduces roughness and wrinkles)
• Phenoxyethanol SA: 1 ml (preservative, to ensure product longevity and safety)

You can slightly adjust the amount of Purified Water up or down depending on the amount of active ingredients added in each formula to reach a total volume of 100ml. You can also double all ingredient quantities to make a 200ml batch.

Formula 1: Refreshing & Oil Control Spray

This formula focuses on helping to reduce excess oiliness and providing a refreshing feel, suitable for frequent use throughout the day.

• Ingredients (for 100ml):
  • Purified Water: 89 ml
  • WaterSoft™: 3 ml
  • Mineral Ready™ (Mn+Zn+Cu): 1 ml
  • Zinc PCA: 1 g (highly effective in controlling oiliness, reducing inflammation, and helping skin heal)
  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 5 g (helps reduce oiliness, strengthens skin barrier, and reduces redness/dark spots)
  • Phenoxyethanol SA: 1 ml

Formula 2: Brightening & Oil Control Spray

This formula includes ingredients that help with skin brightening and reducing dullness, alongside oil control.

• Ingredients (for 100ml):
  • Purified Water: 89 ml
  • WaterSoft™: 3 ml
  • Mineral Ready™ (Mn+Zn+Cu): 1 ml
  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 5 g (helps reduce oiliness, reduces redness/dark spots, and evens out skin tone)
  • Hi-EGCG™ (Green Tea Extract): 1 ml (potent antioxidant, helps reduce oiliness, reduces inflammation, and protects skin from sun damage)
  • Phenoxyethanol SA: 1 ml

Formula 3: Anti-Aging & Oil Control Spray

This formula focuses on nourishing the skin to reduce wrinkles and improve elasticity, while still helping to control oiliness.

• Ingredients (for 100ml):
  • Purified Water: 84.9 ml
  • WaterSoft™: 3 ml
  • Mineral Ready™ (Mn+Zn+Cu): 1 ml
  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 5 g (helps reduce wrinkles, strengthens skin, and controls oiliness)
  • Pep®-PP4 (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4): 5 ml (a peptide that helps stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity)
  • Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule): 0.1 g (helps hydrate the skin, making it look plump and reducing the appearance of dehydration wrinkles)
  • Phenoxyethanol SA: 1 ml

Basic Mixing Instructions:

1. Weigh/measure the Purified Water into a clean container.
2. For powder ingredients (Zinc PCA, Safe-B3, Hyaluronic Acid), gradually add them to the Purified Water little by little. Stir or use a blender (if available) until fully dissolved (Hyaluronic Acid may require time to dissolve or refrigeration as per ingredient instructions).
3. Add other liquid ingredients (WaterSoft™, Mineral Ready™, Pep®-PP4, Hi-EGCG™) and stir to combine.
4. Add the preservative Phenoxyethanol SA as the final step. Stir again to ensure even distribution.
5. Pour into a clean spray bottle.
