Vitamin B6 is effective in nourishing the skin in many ways. with a distinctive feature of oil control and tighten pores
*The tightening of pores is caused by a mechanism that reduces skin oiliness. therefore yielding results Only on highly oily skin. If it is normal or dry skin, Vitamin B6 will not give any effect. To tighten pores*
In summary, the main functions of vitamin B6 are as follows:
- balance the oiliness of the skin by reducing it in areas that are too oily and increase moisture in dry areas
- Tighten pores For larger pores than usual from excess oil
- Reduce inflammation of the skin by inhibiting Interleukin 6 and Interleukin 8
Precautions for using Vitamin B6 in the formula
-Vitamin B6 has a low pH (between 2-3), which when used in formulas affects the pH of the formula, lowering the pH of the formula.
-Vitamin B6 will lose quality quickly. If heated or exposed to light in the mixing process Do not use heat above 40 degrees and try to avoid light.
-Vitamin B6 is stable only in the pH range 2-6, if the pH is higher, it will deteriorate.
-Vitamin B6 is an electrolyte, which may cause gelling. or cream, softening to create a gel or cream texture Increase the ratio of Cream Maker or Gel Maker to compensate for the softening of the formula.
