Gel Formulation for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

Your proposed formula using Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide), Pure-EGCG™ (Green Tea Extract), Licorice Extract, and Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) is suitable for addressing oily skin and minor acne concerns. The combination of these ingredients can help nourish the skin, reduce oiliness, and soothe inflammation.

Ingredients and Benefits:

• Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): Known for its ability to help reduce excess oil production, minimize pores, improve skin barrier function, and reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for acne-prone skin.
• Pure-EGCG™ (Green Tea Extract): A powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help calm irritated skin and potentially reduce acne breakouts.
• Licorice Extract: Helps to soothe the skin, reduce redness, and can have brightening effects.
• Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy): Provides a lightweight, hydrating base that is non-greasy and soothing, ideal for oily skin types.

Mixing Method:

The mixing method you described is correct. You can gradually add the powder ingredients (Safe-B3™, Pure-EGCG™, and Licorice Extract) one by one into the Aloe Vera Gel (Heavy) base, stirring well after each addition until fully dissolved and homogeneous. Ensure there are no remaining solid particles.

Optional Addition for Oil Control:

For enhanced oil absorption, especially if you plan to use this gel during the day, you can add 3% SelectSorb™. SelectSorb™ is a powder designed to absorb excess oil on the skin's surface, helping to keep the skin matte throughout the day. To incorporate SelectSorb™, add it to the gel base and mix or blend until it is evenly dispersed.

This formulation provides a good starting point for managing oily and slightly acne-prone skin.
