Clarity of Serums Made with Silky Serum Bases (Emulsion System)

Both the Silky Serum Base (Face/Eye) (ID: 498) and the Silky Serum Base Plus (Face/Eye, Oil) (ID: 710) are silicone-based emulsion systems designed to create a light, soft, and quickly-absorbing serum texture.

While the bases themselves are clear or translucent silicone blends, when you mix them with water (and water-soluble ingredients) to form the final serum, the resulting product is an emulsion (specifically, a water-in-silicone emulsion).

• Clarity Expectation: Emulsions, by nature, are typically translucent or opaque (milky), not perfectly clear like a true solution or gel.
• Resulting Texture: The primary benefit of these bases is the exceptional "silky" skin-feel and quick absorption, not clarity. The final serum will be light and non-greasy.

Therefore, you should expect a translucent or milky serum, rather than a perfectly clear one, when using either of these bases to create a water-based formula. The clarity will depend on the specific ratios of water and other ingredients used.
