Question
I want to mix DMAE and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) for use in my skincare formulation. How should I mix them, what will the resulting pH be, and how can I adjust the pH using pH paper?
Answer
Mixing DMAE and Vitamin B5
Regarding your question about mixing DMAE and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) for use in your skincare formulation, here is the recommended procedure:
- Mix both ingredients together first: Begin by combining both DMAE and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) in your formulation.
- Measure the pH of the mixture: Use your pH paper to check the pH level of the resulting mixture.
- The resulting mixture is likely to have a pH that is more acidic than alkaline.
- Adjust pH if necessary: If the measured pH is not suitable for your skincare product, you may need to adjust it further. You can gradually add a small amount of an alkaline substance, such as Triethanolamine, while continuously measuring the pH until the desired level is reached.
Following these steps will help you properly control the pH of your formulation.
