How to make 15% PHA Gel

Based on the formula provided, you can create a 15% PHA gel using the following ingredients and steps:

Formula:

• Natural PHA (Gluconolactone): 15%
• AnyGel: 1.5%
• Mild Preserved Eco: 1%
• Water: The remaining percentage

Instructions:

1. Start by dissolving the Natural PHA (Gluconolactone) in the water portion of your formula. According to the product information, PHA can take about 2 hours to fully dissolve in water at room temperature (20-25°C), so it is recommended to wait for complete dissolution.
2. Once the PHA is fully dissolved, add the AnyGel to the water phase. Blend or stir the mixture until the AnyGel is completely dissolved and a gel texture is formed.
3. Finally, add the Mild Preserved Eco to the gel. Mix until evenly incorporated. Mild Preserved Eco can be dissolved in water by blending for about 5 minutes and is best added in the final step when the formula is already a gel or cream.

Important Considerations:

• Natural PHA has an acidic nature. For optimal exfoliation efficiency, the final pH of your formula should be in the range of 3.4-4.5. You should measure and adjust the pH after the PHA is fully dissolved and the gel is formed.
• Mild Preserved Eco works in a pH range of 4-9 and can withstand heat up to 80°C for no more than 5 minutes, making it suitable for this type of formulation.

By following these steps and using the specified ingredients and percentages, you can create your 15% PHA gel.
