Question

Can I mix MOIST72™ with ANS serum directly?

Answer

Yes, you can mix MOIST72™ directly into the ANR Serum Base (Compare to Estee). These two products are highly compatible and work well together in a water-based serum formulation.

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Usage Rate: It is recommended to use MOIST72™ at 2-5% of the total formula weight (e.g., if you have 95g of serum base, add 5g of MOIST72™).
  2. Mixing Method: Add MOIST72™ into the ANR Serum Base at room temperature (ensure the temperature is below 40°C) and stir gently until the mixture is homogeneous.
  3. pH Considerations:
    • MOIST72™ is stable within a pH range of 4.0–8.0.
    • ANR Serum Base has a pH range of 3.5–7.0.
    • Recommendation: For optimal stability of the actives (including peptides and ferments in the base), aim for a final product pH between 4.5 and 6.0.

Benefits:

Adding MOIST72™ (Saccharide Isomerate) enhances the serum's ability to provide deep, long-lasting hydration (up to 72 hours) and helps soothe the skin. It complements the Hyaluronate and Ferment Lysates already present in the ANR base for a more comprehensive moisturizing and skin-recovery treatment.

Practical Tips:

  • Check pH: Since MOIST72™ is buffered, it may slightly shift the pH of the base. It is good practice to check the final pH after mixing.
  • Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight.
