Creating a Hyaluronic Acid Gel Lotion

Yes, Pro Polymer is a suitable ingredient for creating a gel texture in a hyaluronic acid lotion. It acts as a gel maker and thickener in water-based formulas.

Based on the information provided, here is an example formula for a hyaluronic acid gel lotion:

• Double Hyaluron Liquid: 3%
  • This provides the hyaluronic acid for moisturizing the skin.
• Pro Polymer: 0.5-1% (adjust based on desired thickness)
  • This is the gel-forming agent that creates the lotion's texture.
• Phenoxyethanol SA: 0.5%
  • This acts as a broad-spectrum preservative to keep the product stable.
• Purified Water: Remaining percentage
  • This is the base of the water-based formula.

Mixing Method for Pro Polymer:

To use Pro Polymer, sprinkle the powder onto the water phase (Purified Water + Double Hyaluron Liquid) while stirring slowly for 3-5 minutes until a smooth gel texture forms. Avoid over-blending at high speeds, as this can damage the polymer. If the formula contains ingredients like glycerin or propylene glycol at over 5%, it's recommended to mix the Pro Polymer with these first before adding to the water.

Adjust the percentage of Pro Polymer within the recommended range (0.5-1% in this formula) to achieve your desired viscosity. Higher percentages will result in a thicker gel.

Remember to always perform a challenge test on your final formulation to ensure the preservative system is effective.
