Ceramide Serum Formulation for Sensitive Skin

Here is a sample formulation for a ceramide serum suitable for sensitive skin, including 10% Ceramide Complex (Water/Oil Dispersible Powder):

Ingredient Functions:

• Purified Water: The base of the serum.
• Ceramide Complex (Water/Oil Dispersible Powder): Helps to restore the skin barrier, reduce moisture loss, and soothe sensitive skin.
• Glycerin (USP/Food Grade): A humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
• Sepimax Zen: A thickener that creates a gel texture and is tolerant to various pH levels and salts.
• Allantoin: Provides soothing and anti-irritant properties, helping to reduce redness and promote skin healing.
• Mild Preserved™ COS: A broad-spectrum preservative to prevent microbial growth in the serum.

Mixing Instructions:

1. In a clean container, weigh out the Purified Water.
2. Add the Sepimax Zen to the water and mix until a gel is formed.
3. In a separate container, disperse the Ceramide Complex (Water/Oil Dispersible Powder) in a small amount of Purified Water or Glycerin to help it incorporate better.
4. Add the dispersed Ceramide Complex, Glycerin, and Allantoin to the water-gel phase. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Finally, add the Mild Preserved™ COS and mix gently until fully incorporated.
6. Pour the serum into a clean bottle.

This formulation provides a basic ceramide serum for sensitive skin. You can adjust the percentages of Glycerin, Sepimax Zen, and Allantoin based on your desired texture and level of soothing, while keeping the total percentage at 100%.
