  • Formula help, clay mask - preservative

    Posted by okaforify on August 20, 2020 at 12:04 am

    Hello everyone, 

    Thank you for letting me into the group. I wanted to get some help with a formula for a clay mask that I am developing. I know that clay masks are notoriously difficult to preserve, however, this is my passion and really want to get this right!

    This is the formula:

    A

    0.4% Xanthan gum

    0.1% citric acid

    0.1% vitamin A 

    4% Dipropylene glycol 

    4% Vegetable Glycerin

    B

    heat water to 50oC 

    40% Aqua 

    1% Panthenol

    C

    3% Rosa Demascena Flower Water

    5% Aloe barbadensis Juice

    2% Hamamelis virginiana 

    0.2% Tocopherol 

    0.1% Parfum

    0.2 Potassium Sorbate

    0.8% Benzyl Alcohol

    1% Phenoxyethanol

     2% Allantoin

    28% French Pink Clay

    1% Botanicals

    I wanted to know if this is a good formula and if it will preserve the clay with these percentages and method. Any tips improving how well the clay will preserve and any changes I need to make with the percentages.

    Thank you so much in advance!
