Question

Can Marine Plankton extracts (Lifting, Tightening, Artemia) be mixed into a water-based serum, such as a hyaluronic acid serum? What are the recommended mixing procedures, pH range, and potential texture issues?

Answer

Can Marine Plankton be mixed with a water-based serum?

Yes, Marine Plankton ingredients can generally be mixed with water-based serums, such as hyaluronic acid serums.

Based on the product information for Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening) and Plankton Artemia Extract, both ingredients are water-soluble and suitable for use in serum formulations. The recommended mixing method for both is to dissolve them in water, and the suggested pH ranges (3.5-6.5 for Marine Plankton, 4-6.5 for Plankton Artemia Extract) are compatible with typical water-based serum formulations like hyaluronic acid serums.

When incorporating these ingredients into your serum, ensure the final pH of the formulation is within the recommended range for the specific plankton ingredient you are using. Also, for Plankton Artemia Extract, it is advised to avoid heat during mixing and note that using a high concentration (above the recommended 2%) might result in a sticky or mucous-like feeling on the skin.
