    for those who want to add a fragrance to this you can add 1-2% essential oil or fragrance oil at the very end. For best results I recommend mixing it with the AOS 40, cocamidopropyl betaine, and glyceryl oleate. Mix all of these in a separate beaker then add into phase A/B

      I used an essential oil that I have, and I colored it using Saffron which is great for the skin also. I added some Kojic Dipalmitate and Transexamic powder. It looks like orange juice in a bottle. When it dries, if I rub my hand across my cheek, it felt like dead skin rolling under my fingers, but it was the dried mask. Is it supposed to do that? Thank You 🙏🏽😘🥰🌹

      Is this considering sulfate free??

    Thank you again for such informative content. I believe glyceryl oleate is the ingredient i have been looking for. No matter how mild a surfactant is I always find it to be stripping/drying. I'll play around with it and see whether it helps in my formulations.
