Recommended Ingredients for Pure Aloe Vera Gel

Based on your skin concerns (melasma, wrinkles, and oily T-zone) and the recommendations provided, here are the ingredients you can add to your Pure Aloe Vera Gel base:

These ingredients are suggested to address your specific needs:

• For strengthening skin:

  • Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide): This ingredient is known for its ability to reduce wrinkles, improve redness and dark spots, boost skin moisture by stimulating collagen and ceramide production, strengthen the skin barrier, and help control facial oil, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it acts as a humectant and moisturizer, helping the skin retain moisture and preventing water loss. It also helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching, aids in wound healing, and supports skin regeneration.

• For balancing oil (for the T-zone):

  • Zinc PCA: Effective in reducing skin oiliness, accelerating wound healing (like acne scars), stimulating collagen production, and can help with issues like dandruff and body odor. It works by reducing DHT production, which contributes to oily skin.
  • Licorice Extract: Specifically the Licochalcone A type, this extract helps reduce skin inflammation, redness from acne, irritation, and controls skin oiliness. It is not for skin whitening but helps with inflammatory skin conditions.

• For whitening (to help reduce melasma):

  • Activated Resorcinol (4-Butyl Resorcinol): This ingredient works by reducing the activity of enzymes responsible for pigment production and preventing pigment transfer in the skin, making it effective against melasma and for skin brightening. Note that results typically appear after at least 4 weeks of continuous use.

• For wrinkles:

  • Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria Japonica Bud Extract): This extract helps enhance the creation of new skin cells, restores skin barrier strength, improves skin hydration and elasticity, and promotes better skin cell turnover. Consistent use for at least 30 days is recommended for visible results.
  • Adenosine Liposome: This form of Adenosine is effective in reducing wrinkles and promoting wound healing. It is considered important for skin cell function and helps the skin repair itself.
  • RETINAT™ (Starfish Extract): This extract has effects similar to Vitamin A derivatives like Retinol in reducing wrinkles without causing significant irritation. It helps increase skin thickness, stimulates collagen production (Type 3 and 4), and improves skin elasticity, firmness, and moisture.

By combining these ingredients with the Pure Aloe Vera Gel base, you can create a formulation tailored to address your specific concerns of melasma, wrinkles, and oily T-zone.
