Hello! Yes, you put too much reetha powder in the mixture. If you have more clay, top it up with another 100g, but even then you can use it as reetha powder doesn't damage the skin even when applied as such.

Hello! I need some advice about a situation. I mixed the powders from phase A, but I went by the proportion in tablespoons, so 2:1 and put half a pack of reetha powder (100g) to a 100g pack of clay. I think I put too much reetha powder in the mix. Is it ok to use the cleansing powder like this or should I rectify the composition somehow? Thank you very much !

Thank you once again for your reply. I have tried this cleanser and it leaves my hair relatively dry (especially my cheeks)..

The recommendation was for a tenside cleanser, we have a very gentle recipe with a low dosage of tensides, but if you want to avoid this kind of product, you can stick to the original routine.

Hello! The suggested changes are fine and the ingredients well chosen. You can go with the proposed routine, but depending on your skin type and preferences, you may also need a cleanser; see how your complexion demands. All the best!

Hello ! I have a formula in mind and I would like to ask your opinion, please. For dry, dull skin, I thought of using wheat germ oil as a cleanser, and the powder in this recipe to make the following changes: instead of ghassoul clay to use 30 gr lotus powder and 10 gr hibiscus flower. Instead of the essential oils suggested by you, I use the same quantity, but of petitgrain. Dematting with oil is done every evening and morning , and using this powder 3-4 times / week, morning or evening. What is your opinion ? Va multumumesc frumos !

Hello! In principle, no preservative is needed as the composition will not contain any free water in which bacteria can grow. We recommend, however, to prepare a small quantity, which you use within a short period of several weeks.

Hello! To a powder cleanser ( powdered milk powder+ oat flour+ rice flour+ clay ) if I add a little oil, honey, 5% glycerin, I assume a preservative is needed. Which is recommended for this formula, cosgard or concentrated grapefruit pit extract? Honestly, I would prefer the latter. Thank you!

Hello! You can practically replace reetha powder with hibiscus powder, but we would suggest a smaller amount, about half, and keep in mind that reetha has that natural detergent, necessary in such applications. In place of the essential oils suggested in the recipe you can use others, beware of frankincense, geranium and carrot seed - which are potent and the dosage should be reduced.

Hello Diana. You can add propolis powder, but it is quite fine-grained. Possibly prepare a small test amount first.

Hello Maria. Even though the powders are just as fine, their density differs, and in this case it differs a lot; try it yourself and see practically how it turns out. We always make sure we give the correct dosages. Thanks for your appreciation,
