Using Repair Activator in a Clear Toner Formulation

Question

I want to formulate a clear toner using Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate). I understand this ingredient might precipitate. Can I still use it in a clear liquid formulation? If so, what is the recommended concentration, and is shaking before use, similar to how some products with Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) are used, an acceptable solution for the precipitation?

Using Repair Activator in a Clear Toner

Yes, it is possible to use Repair Activator (Bifida Ferment Lysate) in a very clear liquid toner formulation, even if it tends to precipitate. As suggested, you can address this by shaking the bottle well before each use to ensure the ingredient is properly dispersed.

This approach is similar to how Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (often known as Pitera) is sometimes used in formulations where a slight settling might occur, requiring a shake before application.

For a toner formulation using Repair Activator, a concentration of 10-20% is generally recommended.
