Question

I would like to know if it is possible to mix only Ectoine with Rose Water or Pitera, without adding other ingredients, to create a Toner, Face Mist, or light Essence?

Answer

Yes, it is possible to mix only Ectoine with Rose Water or Pitera to create a simple toner, face mist, or light essence. These ingredients are water-soluble and can be combined in a water-based solution.

However, please consider the following:

  • Concentration: Use Ectoine and Pitera at their recommended usage rates.
  • Preservation: A suitable preservative is crucial for water-based formulations, especially those containing biological ingredients like Pitera, to prevent microbial growth. Rose Water alone is typically not enough for preservation.
  • Stability: While the combination is likely stable, long-term stability may require testing.

The resulting product will have a light texture, suitable for your intended use as a toner, mist, or light essence.
