Answer
Making a Serum with Witch Hazel Plus Allantoin and Small Molecule Hyaluronic Acid
Yes, you can dissolve Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule) powder directly into the Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin base.
Here's why and how:
- The Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin base is a water-based liquid, which is the correct medium for dissolving Hyaluronic Acid powder.
- The pH of the Witch Hazel base (3.8-4.5) is within the recommended range (3.0-9.0) for Hyaluronic Acid stability.
To dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid powder effectively, follow the recommended method for dissolving Hyaluronic Acid powder in water:
- Add the Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule) powder gradually to the surface of the Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin base.
- You can use a blender at a minimum speed or shake the mixture vigorously for 1-3 minutes.
- For complete dissolution, it is recommended to cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours (or until the powder is fully dissolved with no sediment).
Keep in mind that Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule) is absorbed deeply into the skin but does not create a gel texture. The Witch Hazel (Alcohol Free, Paraben Free) Plus Allantoin base already contains a preservative (Benzoic Acid), which helps maintain the stability of the Hyaluronic Acid solution.
