คำถาม
I experienced skin irritation/allergic reaction after using a DIY cosmetic product I made, possibly containing Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate). What could be the possible causes for this reaction? Could it be related to:
- Individual sensitivity to the ingredient itself?
- Incorrect mixing ratios or percentages?
- Using other ingredients from different sources?
- The mixing process or hygiene?
คำตอบ
When using cosmetic ingredients to create your own products, irritation or allergic reactions can sometimes occur. These reactions can stem from various causes, such as:
- Individual Sensitivity: Each person's skin has different sensitivities to certain ingredients, even if those ingredients are generally safe for most people. Fermented yeast extract (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, also known as Pitera) is a beneficial ingredient, but some individuals may experience a reaction to it.
- Incorrect Formulation: Using ingredients in inappropriate amounts or not following recommended usage percentages can lead to irritation.
- Other Ingredients: If other ingredients are used in addition to those from a single source, other components might be causing the issue.
- Hygiene and Process: Unsanitary mixing procedures can lead to product contamination.
To help prevent allergic reactions, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying a new product to your face. It is also important to carefully study the information and recommended usage percentages for each ingredient.
