Mixing MYFerment™ Barrier and Skin Barrier Cream Base at 50:50 Ratio
คำถาม
I am planning to create a skin barrier repair formulation in a 100g batch by mixing the following two components in a 50:50 ratio:
- MYFerment™ Barrier (
Lactococcus Ferment Extract, ID 35562) - 50% - Skin Barrier Cream Base (
Emulsifier Free, ID 9673) - 50%
I would like to clarify the following points regarding this formulation:
- Feasibility: Is it technically possible to mix these two products directly at this high ratio?
- Efficacy: Will this 50:50 concentration significantly enhance skin barrier recovery, or is it considered excessive (overkill) for a personal use cream?
- Mixing Procedure: What is the correct method for mixing these components, and are there any specific temperature constraints or equipment needed?
- Stability & Storage: How stable will the final mixture be, and are there any specific storage conditions or safety precautions (such as patch testing) I should follow?
คำตอบ
Mixing MYFerment™ Barrier (Lactococcus Ferment Extract, ID 35562) and Skin Barrier Cream Base (Emulsifier Free, ID 9673) at a 50:50 ratio is technically feasible and will create a highly concentrated product for intensive skin barrier repair.
1. Feasibility and Concentration
- Skin Barrier Cream Base (ID 9673) is a highly concentrated base recommended for use at a maximum rate of 50%, with the remaining 50% being water or other water-based ingredients.
- MYFerment™ Barrier (ID 35562) is a water-soluble active ingredient (postbiotic) that can be used up to 100%.
- Conclusion: The 50:50 ratio is acceptable as the MYFerment™ Barrier acts as the water-based component for dilution.
2. Efficacy and Necessity (Overkill)
While this ratio is technically possible, it results in an extremely high concentration of active ingredients (including 5% Niacinamide, 4% Panthenol, Ceramides, and 50% Lactococcus Ferment Extract).
- For General Use: This concentration is likely excessive (overkill) for daily maintenance. A lower, more balanced concentration (e.g., 20-30% Cream Base and 5-10% MYFerment™ Barrier, with the rest being a simple base or water) is usually sufficient for excellent barrier repair.
- For Severely Compromised Skin: If your skin is severely dry, irritated, or compromised, this maximum concentration formula can be used for intensive, short-term treatment.
3. Mixing Method (100g Batch)
Since MYFerment™ Barrier is heat-sensitive (avoid temperatures above 40°C), a cold mixing process is required.
- Weigh: Measure 50g of Skin Barrier Cream Base (ID 9673) and 50g of MYFerment™ Barrier (ID 35562) into a clean container.
- Mix: Stir or use a mini-mixer to thoroughly blend the two components until a completely homogeneous cream/lotion is formed. The final texture will be thinner than the original cream base.
4. Stability and Precautions
- Stability: The final product should be stable. Both products contain effective preservative systems, and the cold mixing method preserves the integrity of the active ingredients.
- Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place. Since MYFerment™ Barrier is recommended for long-term storage at 5-15°C, refrigerating the final cream is advisable to maintain maximum efficacy.
- Precaution: Due to the high concentration, always perform a patch test before applying the product to your entire face.
