  • Toner gone wrong?

    Posted by Majman on December 5, 2019 at 7:23 am

    I recently made a toner which is meant to hydrate yet slightly exfoliate the skin. 

    I infused green tea into water 

    Water - 90%

    Glycolic acid - 1%

    Lactic acid - 2%
    Pine bark Extract - 1%

    Germall plus - 1%

    Hyaluronic acid powder - 2%

    Ferulic acid dissolves in propylene glycol -3%

    The end result was a cloudy brown (the colour of pine bark extract)  then gradually changed to tea colour and someone who used it said it itches alot. Where did I go wrong?

    What’s the pH of your final product?
