Beginner-Friendly Facial Serum Formula for Brightening and Anti-Aging

Facial Serum Formula for Brightening and Anti-Aging for Beginners

For beginners who want to make their own skincare products, focusing on skin brightening, reducing wrinkles, and addressing sun spots, uneven skin tone, and early wrinkles on combination-to-dry skin, here is a simple gel serum formula that is easy to make and uses effective ingredients suitable for your skin type.

This formula focuses on ingredients that help even out skin tone, reduce sun spots, and support skin function to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

Ingredients:

• Water - 80.5%
• Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, smooth texture) - 1% (Helps create a clear gel texture with a pleasant feel)
• Glycerin (USP/Food Grade) - 5% (Provides moisture and helps disperse Xanthan Gum)
• GlyciWhite™ - 5% (Helps inhibit melanin production for brighter skin)
• SclareoWhite™ (Sclareolide, Pure) - 0.2% (Effective in reducing dark spots caused by sun exposure)
• Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (eq. SNAP-8) - 5% (A peptide that helps reduce wrinkles caused by muscle movement)
• Pep®-Mican (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9) - 2% (A peptide that helps strengthen the skin and stimulate collagen)
• Mild Preserved Eco™ (Preservative-Free) - 1.3% (A gentle preservative that inhibits microbial growth in the formula)

Simple Instructions:

1. In a clean container, gradually sprinkle Xanthan Gum powder into Glycerin. Stir or use a small blender to help disperse the powder evenly (this step prevents Xanthan Gum from clumping when it contacts water).
2. Add Water and stir or blend at medium speed until all ingredients are dissolved and a clear gel forms.
3. Add GlyciWhite™ and stir until completely dissolved.
4. Add SclareoWhite™, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, and Pep®-Mican. Stir to combine well.
5. Add Mild Preserved Eco™ and stir to combine as the final step.
6. Pour into a clean, airtight container.

Additional Recommendations:

• This is a basic formula focusing on the key ingredients you requested. You can adjust the percentage of active ingredients according to the recommended usage rate for each product (refer to the product information for details).
• Accurate weighing of ingredients is recommended for the best results.
• Store the finished product in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Before applying to your face, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of your forearm to check for any allergic reactions.

This formula is designed to be easy for beginners, primarily using water-soluble ingredients to avoid complex emulsification steps.
