Answer

How to Use Natto Gum in Skincare

Natto Gum is an ingredient designed for use in skincare formulations, not for direct application to the skin.

It should be mixed into a water-based cosmetic product or formulation. The recommended usage rate is typically 3-10%, with 5% being a common recommendation. Ensure the pH of the final mixture is within the range of 4-7.

Always mix Natto Gum into a base rather than applying it neat.
