Adding Ingredients and Electrolyte Compatibility in Melasma Cream Formulation

Subject: Re: cream maker for melasma cream

Hello,

Regarding your questions about using Easy Cream Maker with your proposed active ingredients:

1. Compatibility with Easy Cream Maker: Yes, you can use Easy Cream Maker at 1.5% with the combination of Tranexamic Acid 3%, Gluco Bright 4%, B3 5%, and MSH White 1%. According to the staff, 1% is sufficient, and 1.5% is also fine if you prefer a thicker texture.
2. Electrolytes in the initial ingredients: The staff confirmed that these four ingredients (Tranexamic Acid, Gluco Bright, B3, MSH White) do not contain electrolytes.
3. Adding another ingredient: Yes, you can add one more ingredient from the list (Licorice Extract 0.5%, Mahad Extract 3%, or Glycolic Acid 0.1%). However, the staff advises that if you choose Glycolic Acid, you should use at least 1% for it to be effective, as 0.1% is too low.
4. Finding electrolyte information: Currently, complete information about electrolytes for each ingredient is not fully available on the website. You can ask the staff directly for this information. The staff also mentioned that for ingredients containing electrolytes, you can use Pro Polymer to help build viscosity first, as Pro Polymer is tolerant to electrolytes, before using a cream maker.

Thank you.
