Question

What is the correct mixing order for a formulation containing powder ingredients, liquid ingredients, and Phenoxyethanol? What is the expected pH, and does it require adjustment?

Answer

Based on the conversation with the staff:

  • Mixing Order: Your proposed mixing order is correct. You should dissolve the powder ingredients first, then add the liquid ingredients, and finally add the preservative (phenoxyethanol) at the end.
  • pH: The formula will be slightly acidic and does not require pH adjustment.
