Correct Usage Percentage for Snail Secretion Extract in Serum Formulation
Question
I am formulating a serum and planning to use Snail Secretion Extract at a very high percentage, either 98% or 96%. Is this usage rate correct?
If not, what is the correct usage percentage for Snail Secretion Extract in a serum formulation? Additionally, how can I thicken the serum using ingredients like Gum Arabic and Popen?
Answer
Regarding the formulation you inquired about, using Snail Secretion Extract at 98% or 96% is incorrect and significantly exceeds the recommended rate.
Based on the information provided, the recommended usage rate for Snail Secretion Extract is only 1-8%. Using excessively high amounts may not be safe and will not yield the desired results.
Regarding thickening with Gum Arabic, it is possible. However, you must still use Snail Secretion Extract within the recommended range (1-8%) and add other ingredients like Popen and Gum Arabic (at their recommended rates for those specific ingredients) to achieve the desired serum texture.
Recommendation:
- Please check the recommended usage rates for all ingredients (Snail Secretion, Popen, Gum Arabic) on the product pages on the website before formulating, for accuracy and safety.
- Start your formulation by using Snail Secretion Extract within the recommended amount (1-8%) and then add other ingredients at appropriate percentages.
