    Hello, 

    I am trying to figure out how to calculate the amount of a powdered form of polypodium leucotomos which is 30:1, to a face cream formula.  If I mix 1 gram in 30 grams of water, how much of that should I add to my formula? 

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I’d put in 0.01%. So, in a batch of 10,000g you would put in 1 gram.
