Creating a Serum with Resveratrol, Vitamin B5, and Hyaluronic Acid

Yes, it is possible to create your own serum using Active Resveratrol, Vitamin B5 (Panthenol), and Hyaluronic Acid. The feasibility and ease of mixing depend on the specific forms of these ingredients you choose.

Ingredient Considerations:

• Resveratrol: Pure Trans-Resveratrol powder is not water-soluble and requires specific solvents like Ethanol. For a water-based serum, consider using water-soluble forms such as ActiveRelease™ Trans-Resveratrol (10% Water Soluble Powder) or Micromul™ Resveratrol (Resveratrol microemulsion). These forms are designed to be easily incorporated into water-based formulas.
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Panthenol powder is easily water-soluble and can be mixed into the water phase of your serum formulation.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid powder requires careful dissolution in water, which can take time and specific mixing methods to avoid clumping. A simpler option for DIY is using a Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base, which is a ready-to-use base where you can simply add your other active ingredients.

Formulation Approach:

The simplest way to create a serum with these ingredients at home is to use a Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base. You can then incorporate water-soluble forms of Resveratrol and Panthenol into this base.

General Steps (using Gel Base):

1. Measure out the desired amount of Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base.
2. Add the calculated amount of Panthenol (Vitamin B5, DL-Panthenol, Powder). Since it's water-soluble, it should dissolve in the gel base.
3. Add the calculated amount of a water-soluble Resveratrol form, such as ActiveRelease™ Trans-Resveratrol (10% Water Soluble Powder) or Micromul™ Resveratrol (Resveratrol microemulsion). These should be added towards the end of mixing and avoid heat.
4. Gently mix the ingredients until evenly dispersed. Avoid vigorous mixing that could introduce air bubbles.
5. Consider adding a broad-spectrum preservative if you are adding other ingredients or water, even if the base is preservative-free, to ensure stability and safety.

If you choose to use Hyaluronic Acid powder and create the serum from scratch with water, you will need to follow the specific dissolution instructions for the Hyaluronic Acid powder, which typically involves soaking or high-speed blending, and you must include a suitable preservative to prevent microbial growth.

Always research the recommended usage rates for each ingredient and start with lower concentrations if you are new to DIY formulations. Store your finished serum properly, often in a cool, dark place or refrigerator, depending on the ingredients used.
