Formulation Analysis and Suggestions

Based on the formulation you provided and your skin concerns (combination, rough, dehydrated, wrinkles, melasma, sagging, age 42), here is an analysis and suggested adjustments.

Compatibility Issue

The primary issue is the incompatibility between Aloe Vera Gel Lite and Natto Gum. According to the product information for Aloe Vera Gel Lite, it is incompatible with Natto Gum and other gelling agents. Combining these two ingredients in the same formula will likely result in instability, preventing the mixture from forming a uniform gel or potentially causing separation.

Suggested Adjustments

To resolve this incompatibility and create a stable formulation, you should choose either Aloe Vera Gel Lite or Natto Gum, but not both.

Option 1: Remove Aloe Vera Gel Lite

If you prefer to keep Natto Gum for its strong moisturizing properties (even more effective than Hyaluronic Acid according to its description) and gentle whitening effect, you can remove the Aloe Vera Gel Lite. The percentage of water would then need to be increased to compensate.

• Natto Gum 5%
• Wakame Extract 3%
• Rosa Hybrid gel 2%
• Seamollient 30%
• HydroAlgae 2%
• White Caviar Extract 3%
• Snail Secretion 5%
• Mineral Ready 3%
• Safe B3 7%
• Aqua 40% (Adjusted from 20% to reach 100% total)

This formula would still have a significant gelling/thickening effect from Seamollient and Natto Gum.

Option 2: Remove Natto Gum

If you prefer to use Aloe Vera Gel Lite as your primary base for its light feel and soothing properties, you can remove the Natto Gum. The percentage of water would also need adjustment.

• Wakame Extract 3%
• Rosa Hybrid gel 2%
• Seamollient 30%
• HydroAlgae 2%
• White Caviar Extract 3%
• Snail Secretion 5%
• Aloe Vera Gel Lite 20%
• Mineral Ready 3%
• Safe B3 7%
• Aqua 25% (Adjusted from 20% to reach 100% total)

This formula uses Aloe Vera Gel Lite and Seamollient as the main base components.

Choose the option that best suits your desired texture and preference for the specific benefits offered by Natto Gum versus Aloe Vera Gel Lite.

Other Ingredients

The other ingredients in your formulation are well-suited for your skin concerns:

• Wakame Extract and Rosa Hybrid gel are excellent for anti-aging, helping to lift and firm the skin and stimulate collagen production, addressing wrinkles and sagging.
• Seamollient, HydroAlgae, and Snail Secretion provide significant hydration and help improve skin texture and barrier function, beneficial for dehydrated and rough skin. Snail Secretion also aids in skin regeneration and soothing.
• White Caviar Extract offers a rich profile of nutrients beneficial for overall skin health.
• Mineral Ready supports skin oxygenation and metabolism, contributing to reduced roughness and wrinkle depth.
• Safe B3 (Niacinamide) is a versatile ingredient that helps reduce wrinkles, improve hyperpigmentation (melasma), strengthen the skin barrier, and control oiliness, addressing multiple concerns for combination skin.

Mixing Method Considerations

For the ingredients that are sensitive to heat (Wakame Extract, Rosa Hybrid gel, Seamollient, HydroAlgae, White Caviar Extract, Snail Secretion), ensure they are added in the final step after the base mixture has cooled to below 40°C. Mineral Ready should be dissolved in the water phase. Safe B3 can be mixed in the water phase but avoid prolonged heating.

By addressing the incompatibility between Aloe Vera Gel Lite and Natto Gum, your formulation can be a potent serum/gel targeting hydration, anti-aging, and skin texture improvement for your skin type and concerns.
