Welcome back, skincare enthusiasts! We hope you found Part 1 of our series insightful and empowering as we explored the first common reason why skincare formulas fall short of expectations. Now, it’s time to go deeper into the world of formulation and uncover the next pitfall that may have tripped you up along the way.
In this article, we’ll shine a spotlight on another crucial aspect of skincare formulation that often gets overlooked but can make or break your product’s success. So, grab your notebooks and get ready to take notes as we unravel the mystery behind why your skincare formula did not work.
Another reason the skincare formula you created did not work is. . .
You used the wrong ingredients
We have found common ingredient mistakes amongst untrained formulators,
1-) they tend to pack-up their formulas with trendy ingredients, without understanding how these “trendy” ingredients function.
2-) They tend to use wrong ingredients for skin concerns based on assumption.
As a result, they find out that the formula doesn’t work.
Wrong ingredients give wrong results!
Wrong results lead to ineffective formulas.
It is highly important to pick the right type of ingredients for a specific skin concern.
Here’s how to avoid using wrong ingredients:
- Step 1- Know your ingredients and group them according to functions
- Step 2- Study each ingredient’s profile (how it works, the speed, the incorporation technique, solubility, pH stability, dermal limit, much more) allocate appropriately
- Step 3- Use ingredients because of the specific functions stated by their manufacturers, not because of their popularity.
These 3 steps will help you pick spot-on ingredients to keep your formulas effective
