Regarding Silky Serum Base Mixing Issues

Thank you for your question regarding the Silky Serum Base. You observed that when mixing the base with water manually, the texture was not as clear as expected and it broke into water droplets when spread on the skin.

Based on the product information and common practices for this type of base, manual mixing is indeed the reason for the issues you encountered. Silky Serum Base requires proper blending to effectively incorporate the water into the base structure. When mixed manually, the water molecules are not dispersed finely enough, leading to:

• A texture that may not be as clear or smooth as intended.
• The "water-breaking" effect you observed, where water separates upon spreading.
• Potential long-term instability and separation of the mixture.

Therefore, while the mixture might appear formed initially, the texture and stability are compromised by manual mixing. It is recommended to use a blender (at a minimum speed of 500 rpm for 5-10 minutes) to achieve the correct texture and ensure stability.

Using the mixture obtained from manual mixing is not ideal due to the potential instability and separation over time. For best results and product stability, it is advised to mix the Silky Serum Base using the recommended blending method.

Additional Tip

The product description also suggests adding 1% NaCl (pure salt) or Magnesium Sulfate to the formula in the final step to help increase stability and prevent layer separation, especially when using higher water ratios.
