Making a Formula an Ingredient and Adding It to an Ingredient File

This option allows the user to make a formula into an ingredient for use in a new formula. This is useful when developing more complicated formulations. The user should already have a formula developed. Note – be sure to save the formula that is to be made into an ingredient. Otherwise, you will have no record of the ingredient contents or when it was created.

To start the procedure in the Formula Development Section:
Click the Formula button and select Make Ingredient.

When prompted enter the new ingredient name.
Press the OK button to proceed or the Cancel button to stop the procedure.

Note: If you have a space at the front of the name then the ingredient will appear at the top of the ingredient file.

When prompted, answer if the ingredient will disperse in water. Click OK when prompted. The formula is now added to the ingredient file as an ingredient.
