Question

I am looking for a formulation for a "Nam Tob" (toner/essence) serum.

I would like to use Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera) as the main base liquid.

The serum should aim to provide the following benefits:

  • Deep skin nourishment
  • Fast absorption and non-sticky feel
  • Reduce acne and rashes
  • Diminish wrinkles and promote youthful, bouncy skin
  • Tighten pores
  • Provide instant brightening and hydration

Could you provide a sample formulation and mixing instructions for such a serum, including suggestions for key ingredients that achieve these effects?

Answer

Comprehensive "Nam Tob" Serum Formulation

This "Nam Tob" (toner/essence) serum formulation focuses on deep skin nourishment, fast absorption, and a non-sticky feel. It helps reduce acne and rashes, diminish wrinkles, promote youthful and bouncy skin, tighten pores, and provide instant brightening and hydration.

Key Ingredients

  • Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera): Acts as the main base, helping to revitalize the skin, leaving it smooth, hydrated, and balanced.
  • Dragon Blood Extract (Spain): A red sap extract with potent antioxidant properties, helping to reduce wrinkles and soothe the skin, reducing inflammation associated with acne and rashes.
  • Plankton Extracts:
    • GP4G EX™: Extracted from Artemia Salina plankton, it helps stimulate skin cell renewal, energize the skin, and protect against environmental stress.
    • Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening): A marine plankton extract that provides lifting and tightening effects, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and refining pores for smoother-looking skin.
  • QD-365 Anti-Acne Complex: A blend of ingredients that helps reduce acne, inhibit acne-causing bacteria, decrease inflammation, and fade acne marks, leading to brighter-looking skin.
  • Pep®-Acne (Oligopeptide-10): An antimicrobial peptide effective in reducing and preventing acne breakouts.
  • Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR (eq Matrixyl 3000): Peptides that stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity and firmness for a more youthful appearance.
  • Pep®-Replex: Peptides Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 work to rebuild skin structure, reduce roughness, and minimize deep wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
  • PoreNin™ (Natural Extracted Tannic Acid): An extract from green tea that helps tighten pores and provides antioxidant benefits.
  • AminoMatte™ (Sarcosine): Helps reduce excess skin oil, which contributes to acne and enlarged pores.
  • MOIST72™: A highly effective moisturizer providing hydration for up to 72 hours, keeping the skin plump and reducing dryness and flaking.
  • UltraMild Aquaporin™: A special grade of Glyceryl Glucoside that enhances water channels (Aquaporins) in the skin, maintaining optimal hydration without stickiness and improving absorption.
  • TransMoist™: Facilitates better penetration of active ingredients into the skin, resulting in faster absorption and enhancing the moisturizing effect of the formula.

Mixing Instructions (Example)

  1. Prepare purified water (Distilled Water). You can also use Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate as the primary base liquid if desired.
  2. Add water-soluble ingredients that can withstand heat first (if any). However, in this formula, most actives are sensitive to high temperatures.
  3. Add Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Dragon Blood Extract, Plankton Extracts (GP4G EX™, Marine Plankton), QD-365 Anti-Acne Complex, Pep®-Acne, Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR, Pep®-Replex, PoreNin™, AminoMatte™, MOIST72™, UltraMild Aquaporin™, and TransMoist™ to the prepared water. Avoid high heat (mix in the final step below 40°C as recommended for most ingredients).
  4. Stir well until all ingredients are fully dissolved and mixed.
  5. Adjust the pH of the formula to be suitable for most active ingredients (typically between 4-6.5).
  6. Add a suitable preservative at the recommended usage rate.
  7. Stir again and package into appropriate containers.
  • Note: The usage percentage for each ingredient depends on the desired efficacy and supplier recommendations. Always consult the specific product information before use.*
