Hi Gabriella, Yes, you can reformulate the recipe into a biphasic cleanser by adding the desired oil or oil blend. No other modification or addition of preservatives is necessary.

Can the oily part be added to this formula to create a dual phase cleanser? If yes, how much oil, in what percentage do you recommend and with what preservative?

Hello Mirela, As we do not know which Biocons preservative you are referring to, please follow the product instructions and substitute Softdermo Eco preservative in the recipe, only if your Biocons preservative is water soluble.

Hello! I would like to use the biocons preservative in this toner? What quantity could I put? Please tell me if this substitution works? My daughter also uses it to remove mascara.

I'll replace the gel with floral water, nalba extract with glycerin and tenside decyl with tenside coconut powder diluted. Can I add niacinamide 2-3% and decrease the percentage of water accordingly?

Hello, 1 gr coconut tenside powder + 2 gr water is equivalent to 3 gr decyl tenside.

How can I dilute coconut tenside powder so that I get the 3 g of liquid tenside needed in this formula?

The dosage of xanthan gum should be related to the volume of the finished product. Have a nice day!

Dear Kitti! Mallow extract can be substituted with other glycerine extracts, such as cucumber extract, but panthenol is also a good substitute, recommended dosage 2%.

Dear Timea, you can increase the amount of tenside in the recipe, however, it is recommended to remove waterproof make-up with vegetable oil before the cleanser.
