Formulation Guidance for Night Repair Serum/Cream and Q10 Cream

Thank you for your interest in creating your own cosmetic formulations. While I cannot provide exact formulas with specific percentages, I can offer guidance on key ingredients and their benefits for Night Repair Serum/Cream and Q10 Cream, based on the ingredients available in our database.

Q10 Cream

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage and supports skin repair, particularly from UV light exposure (photo-aging). It can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and accelerate skin cell renewal.

We have different forms of CoQ10 available:

• Coenzyme Q10 (98%, Powder, Oil-Soluble): This is a dark yellow powder that dissolves in oil. It is typically used at a rate of 0.01-0.5% and should be mixed in the final step below 60°C. Products containing this should be packaged in light-protective containers.
• Coenzyme Q10 (10%, Encapsulate Powder, Water-Soluble): This is a yellow powder that disperses in water, creating a cloudy liquid. It is used at a rate of 0.1-1% and should be mixed in the final step below 40°C. For long-term stability, it is recommended to use it with ActiveProtec™ UV + ActiveProtec™ OX.

When formulating a Q10 cream, you would incorporate one of these forms of CoQ10 into your cream base. The choice between oil-soluble and water-soluble depends on your desired formulation type (e.g., an oil-based cream or a water-based emulsion).

Night Repair Serum or Cream

Night repair products often focus on supporting the skin's natural regeneration process that occurs overnight. Key ingredients aim to repair damage, strengthen the skin barrier, and provide anti-aging benefits.

Ingredients like Bifida Ferment Lysate are popular in night repair formulations, known for their ability to help repair skin DNA damaged by UV light, enhance the skin barrier, and provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These are similar to ingredients found in well-known night repair serums.

We offer several ingredients containing Bifida Ferment Lysate:

• Bifida Repair Complex™ (Bifida Ferment Lysate, High Conc): A highly concentrated form recommended for its efficacy in enhancing the skin barrier and resisting damage.
• Repair Activator™ BG (Bifida Ferment Lysate, Butylene Glycol Base): A liquid form that dissolves in water.
• Repair Activator™ WS (Bifida Ferment Lysate, Water Base): Another water-soluble liquid form, free of glycols, glycerin, and preservatives.

These ingredients can be incorporated into serum or cream bases. They are typically mixed into the water phase below 40°C.

For a comprehensive night repair product, you would combine ingredients like CoQ10 and Bifida Ferment Lysate with other beneficial components such as hydrators (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid), emollients, and other antioxidants, depending on the desired texture and benefits of your final serum or cream.

Remember to always follow the specific mixing instructions and usage rates for each ingredient you choose to use.
