Gel Formulation for Normal Skin: Texture and Ingredient Percentages

Asked by: khonle01 On: April 01, 2016 Product Type: Cosmetics

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.
