Question
Will a toner formulation containing Complex Salicylic Acid, Witch Hazel, Allantoin, Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, and Mild Preserved Eco separate?
Answer
Toner Formulation Separation
Based on the ingredients provided, your proposed toner formula is likely to separate.
- Water-Soluble Ingredients: Complex Salicylic Acid (Powder, Water-Soluble), Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin, Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide), and Mild Preserved Eco are generally compatible with a water base.
- Oil-Soluble Ingredient: Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol) is an oil-soluble vitamin. It does not dissolve directly in water.
Mixing an oil-soluble ingredient like Vitamin E into a formula that is primarily water-based, without using a proper solubilizer or emulsifier, will cause the oil and water phases to separate over time.
To prevent separation and successfully incorporate Vitamin E into your toner, you would need to add a suitable solubilizer to the formula.
