Simple DIY Formulas: Bakuchiol Gua Sha Face Oil and Beginner Cleansing Oil
Question
I am looking for a ready-to-use product or base for a face oil intended for gua sha facial massage.
- The product should ideally contain Bakuchiol at 2%.
- Since I am a beginner, I prefer a base that requires no complex mixing or formulation.
Additionally, I need the simplest possible DIY formula for a makeup remover cleanser suitable for beginners.
Answer
Ready-to-Use Base for Bakuchiol Gua Sha Face Oil
We do not have a ready-to-use product or base that already contains 2% Bakuchiol. However, since you are a beginner and want to avoid complex mixing, we can recommend a very simple, 3-ingredient DIY formula that is easy to mix and suitable for gua sha face massage.
The recommended maximum usage rate for Pure-Bakuchiol™ (ID 6976) is 1% for optimal efficacy and safety. We recommend using this concentration.

This formula is a simple blend of oils that can be mixed at room temperature by stirring.

| Pure-Bakuchiol™ (Natural Retinol, 99% Pure, USA) | Active ingredient (Bakuchiol) | 1% | 6976 |
| Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI) | Penetration Enhancer (to maximize Bakuchiol absorption) | 3% | 5987 |
| Total | 100% |
Mixing Instructions:
- Measure all three ingredients by weight.

- Pour into a dark, airtight bottle.
Simplest DIY Makeup Remover Cleanser
The easiest way for a beginner to make a makeup remover is by creating a simple cleansing oil using an emulsifying base. This type of cleanser is highly effective at removing makeup and rinses off cleanly with water.

This formula requires only two ingredients and can be mixed by stirring at room temperature.
| Ingredient | Function | Recommended % | Product ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| LipidSoft™ Palm (Ethylhexyl palmitate) | Light, effective cleansing oil/emollient | 90% | 529 |
| Oilsify Eco (Cleansing Oil Base) | Emulsifier (allows the oil to mix with water and rinse off) | 10% | 33656 |
| Total | 100% |
Mixing Instructions:
- Measure both ingredients by weight.
- Combine LipidSoft™ Palm and Oilsify Eco in a container.
- Stir well until the mixture is completely uniform and clear.
- Pour into a bottle.
How to Use: Apply the oil to dry skin and massage gently to dissolve makeup. Add a little water to your hands and continue massaging (the oil will turn milky). Rinse thoroughly with water.
