Incompatible Formulation for Oily, Dehydrated, Acne-Prone Skin (Missing Emulsifier)
คำถาม
I have oily, dehydrated skin with acne, dark spots, and acne scars. I tried to create a skincare formulation using ingredients like Distilled Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Soy Lecithin, Bisabolol, and Allantoin. However, the ingredients are not mixing together properly. Can you advise on how to formulate a product for these skin concerns and explain why my current mix isn't working?

Formulation Feedback and Next Steps
Hello! I understand you're concerned about your skin condition, which is oily but dehydrated, with acne, dark spots, and acne scars. You've proposed a formulation to address these issues.
As the staff correctly pointed out, the formulation you've proposed is not compatible. It contains both water-based ingredients (like Distilled Water and Hyaluronic Acid) and ingredients that are oil-soluble or require an emulsifier (like Soy Lecithin). Without an "emulsifier," which helps oil and water mix and stay together, the ingredients will separate, and the product will not be stable or effective.
The staff's recommendation to study the [url=http://www.myskinrecipes.com/topic174.html:swi86fgh]cosmetic mixing methods for beginners[/url:swi86fgh] is an excellent starting point. Understanding the basic principles of formulation, especially how to combine water and oil phases using emulsifiers, is crucial for creating stable and effective products.
Some of the ingredients you selected do have properties that could be beneficial for your skin type:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its ability to hydrate the skin, which can help with dehydration.
- Bisabolol: Helps to reduce skin irritation and soothe the skin.
- Allantoin: Also helps to reduce irritation and supports the regeneration of skin tissue.
Once you have a better understanding of basic formulation principles, feel free to ask for more specific guidance on selecting ingredients suitable for your skin concerns (oily, dehydrated, acne, dark spots, acne scars) or to learn more about the properties of specific ingredients you are interested in. I'm here to help!
