Achieving a Clear Serum Texture

The white, cream-like texture of your serum is likely due to the formation of an emulsion. This happens when ingredients that don't naturally mix, like oil/silicones and water, are combined using an emulsifying agent.

In your formula, the Silky Serum Base Plus acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend the Cyclomethicone (a silicone) and any silicones or oils within the base itself with the water phase (Water and Double Hyaluron Liquid).

To make your serum clearer, you can try adjusting the proportions of your ingredients. Specifically, reducing the amount of Silky Serum Base Plus and Cyclomethicone relative to the amount of water in your formula may help to decrease the opacity and make the serum more transparent.

Keep in mind that Silky Serum Base Plus is designed to create a serum or cream texture by emulsifying oils and silicones. Achieving a completely crystal-clear serum might be challenging with this specific base and the inclusion of silicones. A truly clear serum is typically a water-based formulation that uses water-soluble thickeners instead of emulsifying bases.

Experimenting with the ratios of your current ingredients is the best first step to see if you can achieve a clearer texture while maintaining stability.
