I have two serum formulations with the following general ingredients: Formula 1: - Moringa Extract - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/45-argireline-acetyl-hexapeptide-8-%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9B%E0%B9%8B%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%8C.html:6s29kh2l]Argireline[/url:6s29kh2l] ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/45-argireline-acetyl-hexapeptide-8-%E0%B9%80%E0%8B%9B%E0%B9%8B%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%8C.html:6s29kh2l]Acetyl Hexapeptide-8[/url:6s29kh2l]) - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%8B%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/74-vitamin-b3-niacinamide-%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B53.html:6s29kh2l]Niacinamide[/url:6s29kh2l] [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/74-vitamin-b3-niacinamide-%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B53.html:6s29kh2l]Vitamin B3[/url:6s29kh2l] - Hydrolyzed [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%8B%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C/105-hyaluronic-acid-nano-low-molecule.html:6s29kh2l]Sodium Hyaluronate[/url:6s29kh2l] Formula 2: - Moringa Extract - Melazero - Russian Mushroom Extract - [url=https://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/search?search_query=Licorice+Extract&orderby=position&orderway=desc:6s29kh2l]Licorice Extract[/url:6s29kh2l] - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%8B%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C/105-hyaluronic-acid-nano-low-molecule.html:6s29kh2l]Sodium Hyaluronate[/url:6s29kh2l] - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/74-vitamin-b3-niacinamide-%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B53.html:6s29kh2l]Vitamin B3[/url:6s29kh2l] ([url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/74-vitamin-b3-niacinamide-%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B53.html:6s29kh2l]Niacinamide[/url:6s29kh2l]) - Neossance [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4/128-squalane-olive-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%99-%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81.html:6s29kh2l]Squalane[/url:6s29kh2l] - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2/45-argireline-acetyl-hexapeptide-8-%E0%B9%80%E0%B9%8B%E0%B9%8B%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%8C.html:6s29kh2l]Argireline[/url:6s29kh2l] - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/whitening-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%AB%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A7/499-ascorbyl-tetraisopalmitate-tetrahexyldecyl-ascorbate.html:6s29kh2l]Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate[/url:6s29kh2l] - [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/shop/%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%8B%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C/75-allantoin-%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99-%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%9E%E0%B9%89-%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A7%E0%B9%81%E0%B8%9E%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2.html:6s29kh2l]Allantoin[/url:6s29kh2l] Without knowing the exact percentages, based on the ingredients alone, which formula would be better for achieving results related to wrinkle reduction, moisturization, and brightening?

Hello, I would like to know: 1. When making a serum with the same percentage of L-ascorbic acid, are the efficacy of Fine and Ultra-Fine grades equivalent? 2. For L-ascorbic acid, is adding ActiveUV 1% and ActiveOX 1% sufficient to maintain the efficacy of vitamin C? Or should I also add Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E? 3. If mixing L-ascorbic acid in Glycol, which type of Glycol and what percentage should be used? 4. For a formula approximately like this: L-ascorbic acid 15% + ActiveRelease Retinal 0.5% + Niacinamide 5% + Tranexamic Acid 1% + soothing agents + thickeners, would it be too harsh for achieving whitening and spots correction results? 5. Can L-ascorbic acid be included as an active at 20% in a serum formula? 6. Can ActiveRelease Retinal 0.5% concentration be used as an active for an Every Day Serum? Or what percentage is recommended?
Hello! Could you please review my lipstick (stick lip balm) formula? I'm making a vegan lip stick using homemade natural color powder from fresh beetroot, which I baked until crisp and then ground into a powder. I've tested it, and it dissolves in water, but there might be some sediment left, so I plan to filter it before adding it to the lip balm. I've chosen the following ingredients and ratios for my lip balm formula (100% is 16g, making approximately 3 sticks): Carnauba Wax 9% Candelilla Wax 13% Shea Butter 18% Jojoba Oil 12% Rose Hip Oil 11% Fractionated Coconut Oil 8% Castor Oil 11% Homemade Natural Color Powder (Beetroot) 17% Vitamin E Acetate 1% Total: 100% 1. Is this approximate ratio suitable for making a stick lipstick? Could you please advise if I should increase or decrease any ingredients? 2. I'm concerned about the homemade natural color powder. Will this type of natural color mix well into the lipstick base to become a homogeneous texture? Is it necessary to use Water Balm? Will the color be clear and visible? 3. Are there any other ingredients from your shop that you recommend to improve the performance of the lipstick in terms of formulation, texture, color payoff, nourishment, and color longevity? Please recommend ingredients that are vegan or suitable for vegans, as I plan to use this for my senior project. Thank you very much!
I have an oil-based serum formula with the following ingredients: Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 0.1% Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) 10% Bakuchiol (Natural Retinol) 1% Tocotrienols 5% Squalane (Olive) 81.9% Laurocapram (Oil Soluble) 2% 1. If Retinaldehyde is in an oil base formula with no water, will it be stable? 2. Based on the formula above, are there any additional improvements needed?
Hello, I would like to ask for consultation regarding formulating a face cream (1 formula) with the goal of reducing wrinkles and brightening the skin, intended for storage and use for about 2 years. I am interested in the following ingredients: Anti-aging group: 1. ActiveRelease Retinal™ 2. Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) 3. GlucoBright™ (Acetyl glucosamine) 4. Madecassoside-80 (Centella Asiatica Extract) Whitening group: 5. Alpha Arbutin (Switzerland grade and China grade) I have the following questions: 1. Some ingredients specify a required pH range for mixing. Where can I find the pre-mixing pH value for each ingredient? 2. Could you please advise if these ingredients should be used together or if any should be substituted, to ensure their properties are synergistic and cost-effective for the desired results? 3. Can these ingredients be mixed manually by stirring (without a mixing machine)? 4. I cannot find RETINAT™ (Starfish Extract) in the system. Is it still available?
I made a cream formulation with the following ingredients and volumes: Glycerin 30 ml, Water 700ml, novemer 40ml, lex 50ml, Mild Preserved 1ml, MOIST24 6ml, Z-White 1.5 ml, Sodium Lactate Plus 3ml, Sodium Lactate 4ml, Urea 5ml, sodium pax50 3ml. The texture absorbs well for some people, but for others, the cream pills/flakes when applied. What could be causing this pilling issue?
I would like to create a night serum and a day serum. The day serum needs to be light and compatible with light makeup. The target skin type is normal skin with fine wrinkles and concerns about whitening. I currently use The Ordinary's Buffet and like the feel but it hasn't helped with reducing fine wrinkles. I have drafted the following formulas and would like your review and advice: **Night Serum Formula:** * Water: 52% * Matrixyl 3000: 3% * Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite: 3% * DMAE (SkinTight) Liquid: 5% * Glycerin 99.5%: 5% * Safe B3: % * Wrinkle-Fill: 2% * Adenosine Liposome: 3% * Ectoin: 2% * Ume Extract: 3% * Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu): 3% * Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI): 3% * Satin Cream Maker: 2% * Skin mimic: 1% * Mild Preserved Eco: 1% * *Regarding the Night Serum formula:* * Is there any advantage to using both Wrinkle-Fill (2%) and Adenosine Liposome (3%)? I prefer to choose one, please advise which would be better. * Do you recommend any other products which contain Copper Peptide? **Day Serum Formula:** * Water: 73% * Pitera Ex: 2% * Water lock: 2% * Skin mimic: 5% * Matrixyl 3000: 5% * Ume Extract: 3% * Safe B3: 5% * Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite: 1% * Pure-EGCG: 1% * Quick-Coll: 1% * Satin Cream Maker: 2% * Mild Preserved Eco: 1% **General Questions:** * Please also advise if any ingredients in these formulas (at the specified percentages) may clog up pores. * I am interested in making a separate serum for freckles to be applied before using the night serum. What would be the most simple formulation with as few ingredients as possible for this purpose?
