Difficulty in Formulating Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum
Question
I would like to know if it is possible to mix the following ingredients myself to create a stabilized Vitamin C serum similar to Natural-C Glycol™:
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Butylene Glycol
- L-ascorbic acid
- Phenoxyethanol
Will these ingredients combine properly and remain stable, or is a special process required?
Answer
Regarding your interest in the Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum and your question about mixing the listed ingredients yourself (Ethoxydiglycol, Butylene Glycol, L-ascorbic acid, Phenoxyethanol):
Based on the information provided by the staff, this specific serum formulation requires a special manufacturing process that is not publicly known. Using standard mixing methods with these ingredients, particularly L-ascorbic acid, would likely result in instability and precipitation of the Vitamin C over time.
Therefore, we cannot provide a formula for self-mixing this specific serum as it relies on a non-standard process to achieve its stability.
