Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Viscosity and Thickening

Regarding your questions about Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) liquid form:

1. Viscosity Comparison to CE Ferulic: Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) is a liquid serum base. The viscosity compared to a specific CE Ferulic product can vary, as different brands formulate their CE Ferulic serums differently. However, Natural-C Glycol™ itself is described as a light yellow clear liquid.

2. Thickening with HA or Pro Polymer: The Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) serum base is designed to be used as is and is not suitable for mixing additional ingredients, including thickeners like Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or Pro Polymer. Adding other ingredients can affect the stability of the vitamin C in the base. If you need to adjust the viscosity or add other components, it would require formulating from individual ingredients rather than using this ready-made base.

3. Comparison with L-Ascorbic Acid (Ultra-Fine) (like in CE Ferulic type formulas): Comparing the effectiveness between Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) and formulas using L-Ascorbic Acid (Ultra-Fine) is difficult as results can vary depending on the individual's skin. However, the key difference lies in their form and ease of use. L-Ascorbic Acid (Ultra-Fine) is a highly effective form of Vitamin C but is less stable and requires careful formulation (like adjusting pH) to be effective and stable. Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) is a stable liquid base that is easier to use (as a base) but cannot be modified by adding other ingredients.

In summary, if you are looking for a stable, easy-to-use Vitamin C liquid base, Natural-C Glycol™ is an option, but you cannot thicken it or add other ingredients. If you need to customize your serum with thickeners or other actives, you would need to formulate using individual ingredients like L-Ascorbic Acid powder and appropriate thickeners.
