FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Propylene Glycol (and) Aqua (and) Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract |
|---|---|
| Type | Botanical extract (solvent-based liquid) |
| Solubility | Water soluble / water dispersible |
| Use Rate | 1–5% typical. Start at 2–3% for toners and gels, then adjust based on feel and concept. |

| pH Compatibility | Works across common skincare pH ranges. We recommend finished product pH 4.5–7.0 for best overall compatibility. |

| Pro Tip | Add after your gel network or emulsion is formed, then mix until uniform. Botanical extracts can shift colour and odour slightly over time. Test early in your full base and final packaging. Use a robust preservative system and keep good manufacturing hygiene, because extracts increase microbial risk in water-based products. |

| Stability Notes | Colour and odour may drift slightly over time. Confirm preservative compatibility and run stability testing. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. |
