    I would like to know the % composition of the following ingredients in LUSH Oatfix formula. I am trying to replace some of the natural components in this formula with alternative plant based substitutes which I know is good for skin. But any help in understanding the % of these ingredients in the following is of great help. I can delete this post  if t is not permitted here.

    OATFIX Ingreditens:
    Glycerine, Fine oatmeal, Fresh Organic bananas, Water, Ground almonds, Illipe butter, Kaolin, Talc, Vanilla Pod, Sandalwood oil, Benzoin resinoid, Coumarin, Benzyl Cinnamate, Linalool, Perfume, Gardenia Extract.

    There is no magic percentages in this kind of product. Notice that there is no preservative listed. This implies that the LOI is correct in that glycerine is the main ingredient. I suspect the oatmeal is soaked in water and of course the banana also contains water. Almonds are expensive so probably the almonds are below the 1% line as are all the rest of the ingredients.
