Toner/Essence Formulation
The formulation you provided is feasible. The staff's response confirms this and offers a helpful suggestion regarding the Licorice Extract.
Ingredient List and Recommended Adjustments
- Plankton Artemia Extract: 2%
- Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): 5%
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5): 1%
- Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%, Water-Soluble): The staff recommends using this at 1% instead of 3%. While the manufacturer allows up to 3%, using 3% can result in a very dark color that may not be desirable for a cosmetic product. Reducing it to 1% will help maintain a lighter color while still providing benefits.
- GlucoBright (Acetyl Glucosamine): 3%
- MOIST24: 3%
- Butylene Glycol: 3%
- 1,2-Hexanediol (Super-Purified, Odorless): 3%
- Double Hyaluron Liquid: 0.1%
- Water: Remaining percentage
Mixing Instructions
All the ingredients in this formulation are water-soluble. Therefore, the mixing process is straightforward:
- Measure the required amount of water (this will be the remaining percentage after adding all other ingredients).
- Add all the other ingredients (Plankton Artemia Extract, Safe-B3, Panthenol, Licorice Extract, GlucoBright, MOIST24, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, and Double Hyaluron Liquid) directly into the water.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully dissolved and the solution is uniform.
This simple method is possible because all components are compatible and dissolve in water.
