Formula Review and Mixing Instructions

Thank you for providing your formula for skin repair and irritation reduction. The combination of GHK-Cu, Ectoin, Licochalcone, and Panthenol is well-suited for these purposes.

Regarding your questions:

1. Can Hyaluronic Acid replace Satin Cream Maker to make a gel?
   Yes, Hyaluronic Acid (Standard Molecule) can replace Satin Cream Maker to create a gel texture. In this water-based formula, Satin Cream Maker likely functions as a thickener or texturizer. Hyaluronic Acid is a gelling agent that can effectively create a gel consistency when dissolved in water. Please note that the optimal percentage of Hyaluronic Acid needed to achieve your desired gel viscosity might differ from the 0.5% of Satin Cream Maker.

2. Mixing instructions without a blender:
   Since most of your ingredients are water-soluble, you can mix this formula effectively using gentle stirring without a blender. Here are the steps:

   • Step 1: Measure the distilled water into a clean container.
   • Step 2: Add the water-soluble ingredients (GHK-Cu, Ectoin, Licochalcone, and Panthenol) to the distilled water. Stir gently until all powders or liquids are fully dissolved and the mixture is clear.
   • Step 3 (Option A: Using Satin Cream Maker): Gradually add the Satin Cream Maker to the mixture while stirring continuously. Continue stirring until the Satin Cream Maker is fully dispersed and the desired texture (light lotion/serum) is achieved.
   • Step 3 (Option B: Using Hyaluronic Acid): If using Hyaluronic Acid powder, slowly sprinkle the powder onto the surface of the water phase while stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Continue stirring until the Hyaluronic Acid is fully hydrated and a smooth, homogeneous gel is formed. If using a pre-made Hyaluronic Acid solution, add it to the water phase and stir to combine.
   • Step 4: Add the Mild Preserved Eco to the mixture and stir gently until it is evenly distributed.

   Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated after each step before moving to the next. Gentle but consistent stirring is key when not using a blender.

This formula appears well-balanced for its intended purpose. Good luck with your formulation!
