Toner

Here’s a rundown:

A. PG………………………20
Salicylic Acid…………1.0
Ethanol………………..15
Betaine…………………1.0

B. Water……………………qs
Glycerin………………..2.0
Glycolic Acid………….1.0
Sodium Lactate………2.5
Alpha-Arbutin………..0.2
Multifruits BSC……….0.5
Quinoa Extract……….0.5
Cytobiol Iris A2……….0.5
Sebum Control……….0.5
EDTA…………………….0.3

C. Euxyl PE…………………0.3
Frag………………………0.2

So my problem is that Sebum control do not dissolve completely. I dont want to take it out because it is also an active ingredient. What should I add?

Another thing, What should I add to make my toner a little less yellow in color/not cloudy? will PEG 7- Glyceryl Cocoate help?

All that rhelogical mess…just to place a tiny bit of shea butter into your formula. DEL and just add 0.01% shea butter extract, likely miscible in glycerin & PG . Also, I can’t fathom how such a wee level of Zn Sulfate is contributing to “sebum control.” Can you?

@chemicalmatt Sadly, I can’t. Well, I will just remove the sebum control. Got any alternatives for oil control?
