Formula: Marshmallow and Green Tea Under Eye Gel

In this post, I will be sharing the formulation above. This under-eye gel is a delightful treat and can also be used to prime the skin. The beauty of this formula lies in its simplicity; it serves as a fantastic base that you can customize to your heart's content. I utilized Hydroxymethyl propylcelluose (HEC) as the gelling agent, following the method detailed in the Advanced Guide to Formulating by IPCS. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this post format!

In this post, we are going to be talking about separating mixtures.
