Mixing Sea Kelp and Aloe Vera Extracts into a Gel Base

• Both Sea Kelp Extract and Aloe Vera Extract are water-soluble and can be easily mixed into a water-based gel like an Aloe Vera gel base.
• Ensure you mix them thoroughly to disperse the extracts evenly throughout the gel.

Recommended Usage Rates

• Sea Kelp Extract: The recommended usage rate for skin care is typically 1-3%, although it can be used up to 10%. Be aware that using a high concentration might result in a fishy smell.
• Aloe Vera Extract: The recommended usage rate is 1-10%.
• Always adhere to the maximum usage rates specified for each product to ensure safety and effectiveness. Using a variety of ingredients at lower concentrations is often more beneficial than using a single ingredient at a very high concentration.

Storage

• Storing the mixture in the refrigerator (around 4°C) is suitable for both extracts and can help maintain their stability for long-term storage, as recommended in their product descriptions.
• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent contamination.

Considerations

• Aloe Vera Extract is an electrolyte and may potentially cause some gels or creams to become softer or more liquid.
• Observe the mixture for any changes in texture, color, or smell over time, especially if storing for an extended period.

By following these guidelines and the specific usage rates for the products you are using, you can create a customized gel for your skin.
