Gel Formulation for Normal Skin: Texture and Ingredient Percentages
Question
I want to create a gel formulation for normal skin to be used at night, focusing on anti-aging and strengthening. I plan to use the following ingredients:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
- Repair Activator
- Niacinamide (Safe-B3) 5%
- Pro Polymer
- PE-1 Aqua
- Distilled Water (adjusting to 74.8% for a total of 100%)
Could you please confirm if this formulation can be mixed into a gel using Pro Polymer? What kind of texture should I expect, especially regarding clarity, considering the inclusion of PE-1 Aqua? Is this formula suitable for a night gel for normal skin with the intended benefits?
Answer
Based on your final list of ingredients, the formula can be mixed to create a gel using Pro Polymer. As discussed previously, the inclusion of PE-1 Aqua will likely result in a cloudy white gel rather than a clear one.
Please note that the percentages you listed add up to 101%. To make the total 100%, the percentage of Distilled Water should be adjusted to 74.8% (100 - 25.2).
This formula includes ingredients like Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Repair Activator, and Niacinamide, which are beneficial for anti-aging and skin strengthening, suitable for a night gel for normal skin.
