FORMULATION NOTES
Check the salicylate content of your willow bark extract. We used a 10% but you can also find extract with 20% salicylate content.
Replace rose hydrosol with one of your choice. Lavender and chamomile could be good choices.
Plantapon SF is a blend of surfactants and it is very mild. You can use a single surfactant or a blend surfactant of your choice.
Euxyl K712 is a water-soluble preservative and is effective at pH 5.5 or lower. If you use your own preservative, adjust the pH and use the amount suggested by the manufacturer. Subst with Geogard ECT. It is compatiabie wityh a PH between 3 and 8.
If you want to add essential oils, you may need an additional solubiliser. This is to make sure no oil particles will be floating on the top of the cleanser.
