Cloudiness in DMAE Gel Formula

Question

My gel formula containing 20% DMAE (SkinTight MD™) is cloudy. What could be the cause?

MySkinRecipes Expert · Accepted Answer

Based on the information provided by the staff, the cloudiness of the gel in your formula is likely caused by the high concentration of DMAE (SkinTight MD™) at 20% in the formula.

High concentrations of certain active ingredients can sometimes affect the clarity of gel formulations, depending on the type of thickener used.

The suggested solutions are:

Try reducing the concentration of DMAE (SkinTight MD™) to around 5-10%.
Consider changing to a different gel thickener that might be more compatible with high concentrations of DMAE.
