Hello Andra, Lately our recipes have been checked, adjusted and modernized by the qualified staff of Elemental. As the final pH depends both on the batch of ingredients and the pH of the water used, the amount of lactic acid needed to reach the pH indicated in the recipe cannot be accurately estimated. We recommend gradually adding this ingredient according to the pH value obtained. Good luck!

Hello! Since 2014 I have been preparing recipes on elemental, but there has never been one in which a product was left without a dosage. Considering the rest of the ingredients in the recipe, what could cause the acid to be missing a dosage? The question is pertinent, especially since this product also has exfoliating properties, which at a higher dosage can have undesirable effects. As for measuring the pH, a.i. to reach the desired value, it is very time-consuming and, once again, quite delicate. How do you know what lactic acid grammage you start from, for example? Then, at least in my experience, the PH measuring tapes were not completely unreadable. Thanks

I made this recipe, it dries the skin very hard

Hello! Sure, you can add, we recommend xanthan gum, possibly try it on a smaller test amount. Keep in mind that in the foamer type container it is not indicated to use more viscous solutions.

Hello! Can you add some xanthan gum or guar to this recipe? I wish it wasn't so runny :) Thanks in advance for your answer!

Hello, what is the optimal pH for this formula? Thank you

Hello! Not recommended, the two tensides work differently and have different properties.

Hello! With what can I replace sparkling tenside? Thank you in advance, with respect Violeta!

Hello. The ingredients that might cause discomfort on the skin - admittedly, rarely - are essential oil and preservative; and the wrong dosage of too much lactic acid can be the problem. Thanks for your appreciation and trust,

I have a problem with this cleanser. Tonight I cleansed my complexion again with it and I feel burning sensation and it is not normal. What can I improve the formula with to make it more gentle on my oily skin? Something doesn't agree with me and I can't figure out from what :( I really appreciate what you are doing. Cu voi am scapat de acnee ce data de 13 ani... I hope you can help me with this cleanser

Thank you so much!

Hello! The tenside combination is also suitable for normal/dry complexion, we suggest you increase the dosage to glycerin in addition to the other suggested changes.

Hello! For normal - dry complexion is this combination of tensides suitable, changing only the active ingredients? Thanks!

Hello. Yes, you can also use AHA fruit acids, with a dosage up to 5% adjusting the percentage of water accordingly.

Hello. Can you replace lactic acid with AHA fruit acid? And if so, in what quantity? Thanks in advance !
