Question
I want to add the following ingredients to a gel base:
- DMAE
- Pepha-Tight
- Syn-Ake
Please advise on how to mix them into the gel base, what effects they provide (specifically DMAE, Pepha-Tight, and Syn-Ake), and if Pepha-Tight and Syn-Ake can be used together. Also, are there any important considerations like pH adjustment or usage rates?
Answer
Based on the information provided, you can add DMAE, Pepha-Tight, and Syn-Ake to your gel base.
Here's how to mix them and what results to expect:
- DMAE: This is water-soluble. Dissolve the DMAE powder in a minimal amount of water first, just enough to dissolve it completely. Then, add this solution to your gel base and mix well. Important: DMAE Biartrate is highly acidic, so you must adjust the pH of the final mixture to a skin-friendly range of 5.5-6 using an alkali like Triethanolamine. DMAE helps to reduce wrinkles and has been shown to be effective.
- Pepha-Tight or Syn-Ake: These are liquids and easily water-soluble. You can add them directly to your gel base according to the recommended percentage by weight and mix.
- Pepha-Tight and Syn-Ake provide a skin tightening effect. You might feel a temporary tightening sensation after application.
- Note: It is recommended not to use Pepha-Tight and Syn-Ake together, as combining them might result in excessive or uncomfortable skin tightness.
Important Caution: Always adhere to the recommended usage rates for each ingredient. Using too much of any ingredient can be harmful.
