Question

What is the correct order to apply natural oil and skin cream after showering? Also, is it necessary to include water in a formulation if I want to mix Activated Resorcinol with Jojoba Oil?

Answer

Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. Order of application (Oil and Cream): After showering, apply the natural oil first and massage until it is absorbed into the skin. Then, follow with your regular skin cream.
  2. Necessity of water in formulations: It is not necessary to include water in every formulation, especially if you are creating an oil-based product. For example, if you want to mix Activated Resorcinol into Jojoba Oil, you can mix Activated Resorcinol directly into the Jojoba Oil and use it. This is because Activated Resorcinol is soluble in oil, so water is not needed for it to dissolve or be incorporated into an oil base.
