Adding Pure-Phloretin™ to Vitamin C E Ferulic Base

Yes, adding 2% Pure-Phloretin™ to the Vitamin C E Ferulic base is possible and aligns with the concept of products like Skinceuticals Phloretin CF. The description for Pure-Phloretin™ specifically mentions that its whitening efficiency is observed when used together with Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid, referencing the Skinceuticals formula which contains 2% Phloretin, 10% L-Ascorbic Acid, and 0.5% Ferulic Acid. The Vitamin C E Ferulic base already contains L-Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E, and Ferulic Acid, providing the necessary components for Phloretin to exert its synergistic effects.

Keep in mind that Pure-Phloretin™ is a powder that disperses in formulas but does not dissolve in water or oil. You will need to ensure it is well dispersed in the base.

Formulating a stable serum with L-Ascorbic Acid requires careful consideration of the vehicle and pH (typically low, around 2.5-3.5) to ensure stability and efficacy. You would need to create a suitable base that can keep L-Ascorbic Acid stable and allow for the dispersion of Phloretin.
