Moisturizing Product Ingredients and Formulation Guidance
คำถาม
I have a moisturizing product from a clinic with the following ingredients listed: `Aqua`, `Glyceline`, `ribosome`, `micronized`.
Can you clarify what these ingredients are, especially `ribosome` and `micronized`? How can I create a similar moisturizing formula using ingredients available from MySkin Recipes, particularly focusing on hydration?

Moisturizing Ingredients and Formula Adjustment
Regarding the ingredients from the clinic's moisturizing product:
- Aqua is water, which is the primary base in most liquid cosmetic formulations.
- Glyceline is likely a misspelling of Glycerin. Glycerin is a well-known and widely used humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin, providing hydration.
- As the previous expert noted, ribosome and micronized are not complete or standard cosmetic ingredient names. It's impossible to know exactly what specific ingredients were intended by these terms without more information.
Since the full ingredient list is unclear, it's difficult to replicate the exact formula or suggest precise adjustments. However, if you're looking to create a moisturizing formula using Glycerin, here's some general guidance:
Glycerin Availability on MySkin Recipes:
Yes, Glycerin is available. We have products like:
- Glycerin (USP/Food Grade): This is pure Glycerin, a clear liquid humectant that can be mixed into the water phase of almost any cosmetic product at usage rates typically from 1-100% (though not recommended for direct application at high concentrations).
- Glycerin Gel (Glyceryl Polyacrylate): This is a pre-dispersed gel base that provides moisturizing properties from Glycerin. You can easily mix it with water to create a gel texture and add other water-soluble active ingredients.
Adjusting or Creating a Moisturizing Formula:
If you want to create a simple moisturizing product similar to a light lotion or gel, you could start with a base of water and add Glycerin. A typical starting point for Glycerin in a formula is around 5-10%, but it can be used at higher concentrations depending on the desired feel and hydration level. Be aware that very high concentrations of pure Glycerin can feel sticky.
Alternatively, using Glycerin Gel (Glyceryl Polyacrylate) provides a ready-made gel structure with moisturizing benefits. You can simply dilute it with water and add other desired water-soluble ingredients.
Since the original product's full composition is unknown, experimenting with different concentrations of Glycerin or using a Glycerin-based gel base would be a good starting point to achieve a moisturizing effect.
Remember that achieving a specific texture and feel also depends on other components like thickeners, emulsifiers (if oil is included), and other active ingredients.
