Question

I am formulating a water-based facial product using Pitera. I have the following questions:

  • Can I use Pitera at 100% concentration?
  • Is this formula suitable for my skin type?
  • Do I need to add an additional preservative?
  • Is simply mixing all ingredients together the correct method?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  1. Is this formula suitable for your skin type? Yes, the staff confirmed the formula is suitable for your skin type. However, if you experience significant dryness or flaking in certain areas, you might need to supplement with a moisturizing cream in those specific spots, as water-based products may not provide sufficient moisture for very dry areas.
  2. Are the percentages acceptable? The staff confirmed the formula can be mixed as described, implying the percentages are acceptable for this formulation. The high percentage of Pitera was also discussed, and it was confirmed that Pitera can be used at 100% without long-term issues.
  3. Do you need to add a preservative? No, the staff stated that you do not need to add an additional preservative.
  4. Is the mixing method correct? Yes, the staff confirmed that simply mixing everything together is the correct method for this formula.
