Mixing and Dissolving Instructions for ANR and B5 Serum Bases

Both ANR Serum Base (Compare to Estee) and Hyalu B5 Serum (Compare Roche-Posay) are ready-to-use serum bases. They are water-based and designed for easy customization. Here are the instructions for mixing or "dissolving" them with other ingredients:

1. Mixing with Water-Soluble Ingredients

If you want to add active ingredients that are water-soluble (e.g., Vitamin B3, certain extracts):

• You can add them directly into the serum base.
• Stir or mix thoroughly until the ingredients are completely dissolved and the texture is uniform.
• No heat is required.

2. Mixing with Oil-Soluble Ingredients or Fragrances

• ANR Serum Base: You can add approximately 1-2% of oil-based ingredients or perfumes. Adding more than this may cause the formula to separate.
• Hyalu B5 Serum: Similarly, it is best to keep oil-based additions to a minimum. If you need to add a significant amount of oil, you may need a solubilizer to help blend them into the water-based gel.

3. Mixing the Two Bases Together

Since both are water-based gels, you can mix ANR Serum Base and Hyalu B5 Serum together in any proportion you like. Simply combine them in a clean container and stir until they are well-blended.

4. Usage Rates

• ANR Serum Base: Typically used at 90-100% of the formula.
• Hyalu B5 Serum: Typically used at 95-100% of the formula.

Storage Recommendations

• ANR Serum Base: Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Hyalu B5 Serum: Can be stored in the refrigerator (approx. 4°C) to help preserve the active ingredients and provide a cooling sensation upon application. Keep the bottle tightly closed.

Note: Adding a large volume of additional ingredients may change the viscosity (thickness) or the pH of the final serum.
