Feedback on Your Gel Skincare Formula

Regarding your proposed simple gel skincare formula for dry skin with redness and inflammation:

The staff confirmed that your proposed formula can be mixed.

However, for dry skin, the staff generally recommends incorporating oils into the formula to help replenish skin lipids and create a barrier to retain moisture.

While your gel formula without added oil is possible, it might not provide sufficient hydration for dry skin on its own. It is suggested to use this formula in conjunction with other moisturizing skincare products. If you intend to use this formula as the sole moisturizer, you might consider adding an oil component.

Additionally, if your skin is sensitive or currently irritated, the staff recommends considering alternative preservatives such as Mild Preserved Eco (1%) or Phenoxyethanol SA (1%) instead of Phenoxyethanol.

Your proposed formula includes:

• Water 77.5%
• Plankton GP4G 5%
• Niacinamide 4%
• Glucosamine 4%
• Trehalose 3%
• Ceramide 3%
• Xanthan Gum 2%
• Alpha Arbutin 1%
• Phenoxyethanol 0.5%
