  Posted by Cadeau on May 13, 2020 at 8:51 pm

  Please I need help with my recipe.. 

  18g  rose water
  18g aloe vera liquid
  16.2g distilled water
  2g glycerine
   10g  Chamomile infused water
  Sodium benzoate 

  My skin is very sensitive that’s why I used rose water instead of witch hazel

  So please is there anything I should add or remove

  Your formula doesn’t add up to 100%

  It’s difficult to give you advice for the following reasons.

  1.  You haven’t said what benefit you are hoping to get out of using the product. Toners don’t really do much so why are you using the product?

  2.  You haven’t said what is wrong with your formula. Why are you dissatisfied with what you are making? 

  Without that information there isn’t much advice I can give except don’t use a toner.

  2% sodium benzoate is about five times too much and anyway, I see no pH adjustment so likely won’t work anyway.
