Question
I am formulating a facial spray for dry skin and wrinkles. I want to mix the following ingredients:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera)
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Rose Water
I have the following questions:
- Can I mix these ingredients together for a facial spray?
- Are Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera) and Hyaluronic Acid considered natural ingredients?
- What is the optimal pH for this mixture?
Answer
Answer based on expert advice:
Regarding mixing ingredients for a facial spray for dry skin and wrinkles:
Mixing with Rose Water, Pitera, or Hyaluronic Acid:
- According to the expert response, rose water is not beneficial and should not be used.
- For dry skin and wrinkles, both Pitera (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) and Hyaluronic Acid are effective for moisturizing.
- You can use either Pitera, Hyaluronic Acid, or a combination of both in your formulation base to help with dryness.
Naturalness:
- Whether these ingredients are considered "natural" depends on your definition.
- Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin, while Pitera does not.
- Both are produced through processes that do not occur naturally (e.g., fermentation).
- Natural extracts might be considered closer to "natural" depending on your perspective, although their extraction also involves processes.
Optimal pH:
- The recommended pH for the mixture is slightly acidic, between 5 and 6.
The expert response did not specify the exact ratio for mixing Pitera or Hyaluronic Acid. The appropriate concentration depends on the desired product type and efficacy. It is generally recommended to follow usage guidelines provided with the specific ingredients or standard formulation practices.
