Camu Camu Extract Usage Percentage and Ingredients for Hydrated Skin
Regarding the appropriate percentage of Camu Camu extract for facial application, it is recommended to consult directly with the manufacturer or distributor of the extract. They will be able to provide the most accurate usage guidelines for their specific product.
For ingredients that help the skin appear plump and hydrated, giving a "dewy" look, you can consider incorporating water-soluble moisturizing ingredients along with oils or butters into your cream formulation. Some examples of ingredients known for their hydrating and skin-plumping properties include:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Available in various molecular sizes (e.g., Standard Molecule, Small Molecule, Large Molecule, Nano Molecule, 4D Hyaluronic Acid, 8D Hyaluronic Acid, Super-HYA™, HyaCoat™, HyaOil™). Different sizes offer hydration at different skin depths and can create a moisturizing film on the surface. Snow Mushroom Hyaluron is a natural alternative with excellent water-holding capacity.
- Glycerin: A classic humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
- Ceramides: Essential lipids found naturally in the skin barrier. Replenishing ceramides (e.g., Ceramide Complex, Ceramide 3, Cera-Flux VX) helps strengthen the skin's barrier function, reducing moisture loss and improving hydration.
- Natural Oils and Butters: Ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Squalane, and Shea Butter provide emollience, help prevent water loss from the skin's surface, and contribute to a smooth, supple feel.
Combining these types of ingredients in a well-formulated product can effectively hydrate the skin, making it look plump and radiant.
