Mixing Ingredients with Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base

You asked if you can mix Perfect-C and Betaglucan with a Hyaluronic Acid gel base. Here's a breakdown based on the properties of these ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base: This is a water-based gel designed to add moisture. It is suitable for mixing with other water-soluble ingredients.
• Betaglucan: We found several types of Betaglucan, including Beta Glucan from yeast extract and Beta Glucan from oat extract (70% and 90% purity). These types are water-soluble or dispersible in water. Therefore, you can mix Betaglucan into the Hyaluronic Acid gel base.
• Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate): This is an oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. The Hyaluronic Acid gel base is water-based. Mixing an oil-soluble ingredient directly into a water-based gel without an emulsifier will likely cause the ingredients to separate. You cannot directly mix Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) into the Hyaluronic Acid gel base and maintain a stable, homogenous product. To incorporate an oil-soluble ingredient like Perfect-C™ into a water-based system, you would typically need to create an emulsion (like a cream or lotion) using appropriate emulsifiers.

In summary, Betaglucan can be mixed with the Hyaluronic Acid gel base, but Perfect-C™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) cannot be directly mixed into it.
