Question
I would like to create a toner for oily skin to control oil, reduce clogged pores, and help with pore appearance.
My formula includes:
- Salicylic Acid
- Licorice Extract
- Zinc PCA
- Witch Hazel (Distilled - Alcohol Free) at 88%
Do I need to add an additional preservative? Are these ingredients suitable for my goals?
Answer
Based on the staff's reply, your toner formula seems viable.
Here's a summary:
- The formula is possible to make.
- You do not need to add an extra preservative. The Witch Hazel (Distilled - Alcohol Free) is used at a high concentration (88%) and contains its own preservative.
- The staff recommends adding Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3 / Niacinamide) at 5%. This can help your skin tolerate the Salicylic Acid better and further assist in reducing skin oiliness.
The ingredients you've chosen (Salicylic Acid, Licorice Extract, Zinc PCA, Witch Hazel) are generally known for properties that align with your goals of reducing oil, controlling oil, reducing clogged pores, and potentially helping with pore appearance.
