Question
I am trying to make a 100g batch of a formula with the following ingredients and percentages:
- Salicylic Acid: 2g
- Propylene Glycol: 40g
- Polysorbate 20: 3g
- Water: 55g
Is this ingredient calculation correct for a 100g batch? Also, how should I dissolve the Salicylic Acid in this formula?
Answer
Based on the staff's reply, your calculation for a 100g batch is correct:
- Salicylic Acid: 2g

The staff also mentioned that using gentle heat (60-70°C) can help Salicylic Acid dissolve more easily and quickly.
