Hello Ana, In principle, water-soluble ingredients can be included in this aqueous gel, i.e. cucumber extract in a percentage of 5%. The other oily ingredients are not water soluble. Theoretically some, e.g. q10, can be included in this formula, but you need to make sure that the resulting preparation will have the necessary viscosity for the oily particles to stay in suspension. Without practical tests, we cannot give exact percentages. You can possibly draw inspiration from the NO1391 formula.

Hello!The preservative was not listed in the products (only in the recipe) therefore I forgot to order it...Instead I did the recipe step by step, until the end when I realized that I did not have the preservative...but the gelatinous solution did not form, it remained liquid.It is not in the form of gel (after cooling) it is like water

Hello! Fragard is not suitable for this type of formula, but you can use Softdermo complex 4%.

Hello! In principle you can realize the proposed modifications, be careful with the aqueous phase which should not be acidic when working with Bella, so recommended would be to decrease witch hazel water to 20% (the rest put plain/distilled water). Bisabolol and dragon's blood extract put no more than 2% in total, so as not to risk destabilizing the emulsion. Good luck!

Hello, I have a question about Formula: 24511, can I use as emulsifier only Bella 8% if the total percentage of oils I put only 15% and I modify the dosage of water accordingly? And instead of arnica extract can I put bisabolol and dragon's blood (In what percentage?)? I would like to result a cream and anti dark circles and for the first fine lines <<25-30 years :) >>. Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help!

You can enrich the formula with LMW hyaluronic acid, it is a good choice in such an application, we recommend a dosage of about 0.5%. Have an easy day!

I did the gel once and it is very good and refreshing, it worked really well on my eyes. The wrinkles have faded and the skin has become tighter. I didn't use the aloe gel, but I did use panthenol. Now I want to use the aloe gel from the recipe, to keep the ingredients of the recipe, but in addition this time I would like to put hyaluronic acid LMW. Intrebarea mea este daca e ok, cat și cand trebuie introdus in reteta. Thank you and I wish you all the best.

Hello. Basically, you can remove aloe vera gel from the recipe, substitute we cannot recommend. Panthenol can be included, dosage about 1% would be enough.

Would panthenol be suitable?

Hello. With this gel can I not use the 2 gr of aloe vera gel? Could I use something else to make up for the missing gram with something still suitable for dark circles and tired eyes? Thank you.
