  • Lavender Hydrosol (41.5%)
  • VersaMoist (0.5%)

  • Moisturizing Honey (1%)
  • Marine Plankton (1%)
  • Mind Preservation eco (1%)

Answer

Refreshing Facial Essence Formulation Adjustment

Your current formulation for a refreshing facial essence is already well-designed, primarily due to the high percentage of hydrosols.

  • Chamomile Water and Lavender Water make up the majority of the formula. These hydrosols are known for their soothing and refreshing properties, providing a light and comfortable feel on the skin.
  • VersaMoist helps to improve the texture, making the essence less sticky and enhancing the penetration of other ingredients, which contributes to a lighter, more refreshing sensation.
  • Marine Plankton provides a temporary skin tightening effect, which can also be perceived as refreshing.
  • Moisturizing Honey adds hydration without making the formula heavy.
  • Mild Preserved Eco acts as the preservative and also offers some humectant properties.
  • Lavender Essential Oil is included for fragrance and potential aromatherapy benefits.

The current ratio of Chamomile Water and Lavender Water (54% and 41.5%) is excellent for a refreshing feel. If you desire an even stronger cooling sensation, you could consider adding a small amount of a water-soluble cooling agent. However, please be cautious as cooling agents can sometimes cause irritation, and it's best to test thoroughly.

Overall, your existing formula is a great starting point for a refreshing essence.
