Hi @goldie, I’d agree the 1% line is probably the fragrance. Look up the ingredients to determine their function in the formula. I hadn’t heard of many of them, so I looked them up for my own knowledge. Many of the ingredients listed before the fragrance are emollients, skin softening agents, and humectants. Everything after fragrance seems to be emulsion stabilizers, viscosity enhancers, various preservatives, etc. The last 3 ingredients are components that occur naturally in fragrance. Once you determine the function of the ingredients you’ll need to find out the usage rate and take it from there. Perhaps some of the chemists’ll chime in.
I recently stumbled upon a YouTube video titled “Cosmetic Formulating - Create A Formula From An LOI” by some guy named Perry
I think he might know a thing or two (wink) Check it out. -
I think the 1% line is before the fragrance, around the almond protein.
In general: spot the claims ingredients/pricey ingredients, e.g. Q10 (ubiquinone), argan oil etc, they’re bound to be (way) behind the 1% line.
