Reading a Cosmetic Formula

When starting your journey into cosmetic formulation, it can be overwhelming, at times even a bit scary. We formulate in percentages to ensure that our products that our clients love stay consistent, safe and reliable. Now how do we read a formula written in percentages? Better yet how do we weigh out ingredients to match the percentages in our formulation. We ALWAYS weigh in grams (for my USA friends, its easy I promise!).
