  • Alcoholic tinctures in formulations and blender

    Posted by ElisaNOR on October 21, 2020 at 2:45 pm

    Hi, I have a question about oil/beeswax based ointments and the possibility to add alcoholic herbal tincture to it (60% alcool). I’ve done it for my private use adding a 3% tincture to an oil/beeswax ointment, never used a blender and the formulation never split.
    I’d like to make it again for professional use and my questions are:
    - in which percentage the alcool tincture becomes too harsh and drying for the skin of the face?
    - if I add a 2% alcoholic tincture, would I need a blender to make a proper emulsion? 
    I will produce on a very small scale, which blender would you recommend if you think I’ll need it?

    Thank you!
