Mineral Water Spray Formulation (Concept)

A mineral water spray or makeup setting spray typically contains key ingredients to hydrate, soothe the skin, and help makeup last longer. Here is a concept for ingredients you can consider:

• Base: Use purified water or distilled water as the main component.
• Humectants: Ingredients that help attract and retain moisture on the skin, such as:
  • Glycerin (USP/Food Grade): A basic and popular humectant that helps make the product feel smooth.
  • Super-HYA™ (Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, AcHA) or Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base: Hyaluronic acid helps add moisture and makes the skin look plump.
• Soothing Agents: Ingredients that help reduce irritation and make the skin feel comfortable, such as:
  • PreB5™ (Pantolactone, Pantoyl Lactone): A precursor to Vitamin B5, it helps strengthen and moisturize the skin.
• Preservatives: Essential for water-based products to prevent microbial growth. Choose a preservative compatible with other ingredients and the formula's pH range, such as:
  • NaturePreserve™ Ultra (Gluconolactone & Sodium Benzoate)
  • Phenoxyethanol P5
  • Mild Preserved™ COS (pH 2-8, Broad Spectrum, No-Odor)
  • Caution: Always check the appropriate pH range and usage limitations for each preservative.
• Other Ingredients (Optional): You may add film-forming agents to help makeup last longer or other natural extracts for specific properties.

Additional Recommendations:

• The percentage of each ingredient must be determined through experimentation to find the desired properties and compatibility of the substances.
• Stability testing and preservative efficacy testing (Challenge Test) should be conducted if you plan to produce and sell the product.
