Cosmetic Recipe: Gentle Clarifying Facial Toner

Instructions:

1. In a clean glass beaker, combine the Witch Hazel Hydrosol and Orthosiphon Glycolic Extract. Stir gently.
2. Add the Niacinamide and Allantoin to the liquid. Stir continuously until they are fully dissolved. Gentle heating may be required to dissolve Niacinamide completely, but ensure the temperature does not exceed 40°C.
3. Once all solids are dissolved and the mixture has cooled, add the cosmetic preservative according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
4. Carefully transfer the toner into a clean, dark glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid or spray applicator.

Application Recommendations:

• After cleansing your face, apply a small amount of the Gentle Clarifying Facial Toner onto a cotton pad.
• Gently swipe the cotton pad across your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
• Allow the toner to dry completely before applying your serum or moisturizer.
• Begin by using the toner once daily, preferably in the evening, and gradually increase frequency to twice daily if tolerated.
• If you have sensitive skin, monitor your skin's reaction and reduce frequency if any irritation occurs.
• Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
• Store the toner in a cool, dark place to maintain its efficacy.
