Phenoxyethanol, tsobutytparaben, Bgtylparaben, Ethylparabtn, MethylparatKn. Propylpanben, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

I want to add the following actives:

Hyaluric acid (b/c my sking likes it)
Licorice (for my hyperpigmentation)
Glucosamine (for HP)
Niacimine (for HP)

Do you guys see any hazzard/negative reactions if I add the actives to my moisterizer???

I want to start with DIY skincare, but I'll start with baby steps -adding actives to my moisturizer. For me, this is my break through Wink

Thanks a bunch

I'm thinking that my other option is to do my own serum. THere is a nice recipe for a serum. So I have 2 questions-
1) Would it be recommended to add a penetration enhancer to a serum?? if yes, which one?

2) would be recommende dto add a preservative to the serum?? if so, which one??

Thanks a bunch!
