Based on the information provided on the Ascorbyl Glucoside product page stating: > If you are unable to prepare Citrate Buffer as recommended above, please use L-Arginine at a ratio of 1:2 (L-Arginine 1 part per AA2G 2 parts). Mix well and dissolve in water together. L-Arginine can help control the pH to prevent AA2G from degrading. Regarding the statement "ratio of 1:2 = L-Arginine 1 part per AA2G 2 parts": 1. If the formula contains Ascorbyl Glucoside 10%, does that mean I need to add L-Arginine 5%? 2. Following up from question (1), the L-Arginine product page states a usage rate of 0.1-1%. I am currently having trouble with formulating 10% Ascorbyl Glucoside using L-Arginine because of this. Can L-Arginine be used at a concentration higher than 1%? Thank you.
I want to make a custom gel for dry, dehydrated skin with wrinkles (age 39) using the following ingredients and quantities: * Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) 100 g * Lemon Peel Bioferment (Lemon Skin™) 3 g * Ume Extract (Anti-Glycation) 2 g * 4D Hyaluronic Acid 10 g * Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka. Pitera) 50 g * Rose Hip Oil (Virgin) 50 g (planning to add 10 g because it's an oil) I have the following questions: 1. What are the recommended quantities to add, as I'm concerned the formula will be too thin? 2. What are the mixing steps? 3. Can I simply stir the ingredients together without blending, and will this ensure the formula mixes well?

I would like to add `Phospholipid` 3% and/or `1,2hex` 3% to an existing light toner or lotion. Can these be added? I usually mix them separately in the water phase when making my own cream. I'm wondering if I can just blend `Phospholipid` directly into existing finished lotion, essence, or toner?

I would like to request formulation ideas and ingredient suggestions for skincare products suitable for individuals with seborrheic dermatitis (seb derm). Specifically, I am looking for guidance on developing: * Serum formulations * Sunscreen formulations Please recommend ingredients and bases that are gentle, non-irritating, non-comedogenic, and help manage seb derm symptoms like fungal overgrowth, inflammation, and excess oil.
Could you please review these formulations for me? I'm looking for a formula with not too much foam and that is gentle on the scalp. 1. **Kaffir Lime Shampoo Formulation** * Kaffir Lime Juice: 81.4% * Plantacare 1200 up: 8% * Amphitol AB 55: 3% * Aminon C-02S: 3% * Polyquaterniium-10: 1.5% * Anthemis Nobilis: 3% * Preservative (Can I use Brodox L?): 0.1% Initially, I tried mixing Kaffir Lime juice with a baby shampoo base, and it worked well. However, I'd like to formulate my own recipe. If the formula is suitable, I plan to proceed with product registration. Could you also explain the mixing procedure? 2. **Baby Shampoo/Liquid Soap Formulation** This formulation uses a shampoo base, distilled water, and preservative. Can I add chamomile fragrance to this, and if so, how much should I add? Could you please consider these formulations? Thank you very much.
I have the following ingredients for a facial essence (`น้ำตบ`). Can these ingredients be dissolved together? Will it cause irritation? Is the amount of Propanediol too much? * Willow Bark 5% * Yeast Resurface 4% * Snail Secretion 8% * Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract 0.5% * 1,3-Propanediol (Natural) 10% * pentylene glycol 3% * DMI 3% * Odor Kill 1% * HydroAlgae 2% * Niacinamide 5% * Moist 72 5% * Palmaria Palmata Extract 5% * Plankton GP4G 3% * Wakame Extract 3% * Alaria Esculenta Extract 1% * Phenoxyethanol SA 1.25% * L-Carnosine 1% * Ume Extract 4% * Fucus Film™ 5% * water 30.25%
I am trying to make a thick, creamy cool wax with the following formula: * CoolTouch™ 1% * Freeze Me™ 3% * Palmitamide MEA 5% * Ezerrawax™ 5% * Wax Cream Maker™ 3% * Oil Blender™ 3% * Laureth-9 3% * Shiso Extract 3% * HydroAlgae™ 2% * Pure-Apigenin™ 0.5% * Phenoxyethanol SA 1.25% * Water 70.25% I have some questions: 1. Is this formula feasible? 2. Could you please explain the mixing steps? Palmitamide MEA seems quite difficult to dissolve. Some formulas I've seen don't include Olive Oil or other solvents like Butylene Glycol but still manage to form a cream, which makes me very curious about the various ways this ingredient can be used. 3. If I want to use Palmitamide MEA at 5%, how much Butylene Glycol should I add? (The description mentions "Butylene Glycol at a concentration not exceeding 5% using 70 degree heat" which I don't quite understand). 4. Is Oil Blender necessary? (I feel the oil phase isn't very diverse). 5. How can Pure Apigenin be mixed in?
Hello, I am planning to order production for a serum based on the public [Hyaluron Serum (Preservative-Free)](http://www.myskinrecipes.com/recipes/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%A3/hyaluron-serum-preservative-free/) formula, but with added ingredients and adjusted percentages. I would like to request that your staff review the formula before I place the production order today to ensure it is viable, as I want to use the exact ingredients and percentages listed below. My proposed formula is: * Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) / 0.30 * Hyaluronic Acid (Large Molecule) / 0.50 * Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule) / 0.30 * HyaCoat Skin / 0.20 * Glycerin 99.5 / 5 * Mild Preserved Eco / 2 * Safe-B3 / 10 * Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) / 1 * Ammonium Lactate / 1 * MOIST72 / 1 * HydroAlgae / 1 * Zinc PCA / 1 * GlucoBright / 4 * น้ำกลั่น / 72.7 I have previously used the public Hyaluron serum formula and liked its moisturizing, non-sticky feel. I want to increase the percentage of B3 and add Zinc PCA, using percentages similar to The Ordinary. I also added GlucoBright to enhance brightening, as the formula already contains B3. Based on this, can this formula be produced? My skin type is dehydrated, with some clogged and inflamed acne, acne marks, and is combination (oily T-zone).
Please advise on how to create a cream texture using Sensitive Cream Maker™.
Regarding Licorice Extract (Glabridin 40%), can it be dissolved in Ethanol or Butylene Glycol without using heat? Between Ethanol and Butylene Glycol, which one is better recommended for dissolution?
Regarding Pure-Phytosterols™: The product description states that it "can be dissolved in oil, recommended to use Octyldodecanol to aid dissolution for good solubility". Can LipidSoft™ CC (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate) be used instead? Regarding Activated Resorcinol™: The product description states that it uses LipidSoft™ for dissolution. Can LipidSoft™ CC (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate) be used instead? In summary, can LipidSoft™ CC (Cetyl Ethylhexanoate) dissolve ingredients that require oil-based solvents?
Pure-Magnolol's description states that the formula must contain at least 3-5% Glycerin to aid dissolution. Can Pure-Magnolol be dissolved if the formula does not contain Glycerin but uses other Glycols instead, such as Ethoxydiglycol or 1,3 Propanediol? Or must it be Glycerin only? If other Glycols can dissolve it, what percentage should be used? Should it be the same percentage as Glycerin (3-5%)?

I usually buy natural oils from the website to make cleansing oil. The product description often mentions that the oil doesn't last long and can easily oxidize and go rancid when exposed to air. I want to know how to extend its shelf life because sometimes there's a lot left and it goes rancid before I can use it all. Do I need to add any substances to the oil? Please provide recommendations for products available on the website.
