Question

I have a few questions regarding Hya Gel Base:

  • What is the pH value of the Hya Gel Base?
  • Can I mix Safe B3 directly into the base?

Answer

The Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base and Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3) are compatible and can be mixed together. Here are the details regarding your questions:

1. pH of Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base

The Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base typically has a pH in the range of 5.0–7.0, which is a skin-friendly range and suitable for most active ingredients.

2. Mixing Safe-B3™ into the Base

You can mix Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3) directly into the gel base. Since Safe-B3™ is a water-soluble powder, it will dissolve into the gel.

  • Recommended Usage: 1–10% (5% is the standard effective concentration).
  • Mixing Method: Gradually add the Safe-B3™ powder into the gel base and stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved and the gel becomes clear.
  • Compatibility: Safe-B3™ is highly stable at a pH of 3.0–8.0, so it works perfectly with this gel base.

Important Recommendations:

  • Preservation: Since the Hyaluronic Acid Gel Base is "Preservative Free," if you mix ingredients and intend to store the product for an extended period, it is highly recommended to add a broad-spectrum preservative to prevent microbial growth.
  • Dissolution: If you find it difficult to stir the powder directly into a thick gel, you can pre-dissolve the Safe-B3™ in a very small amount of clean water before blending it into the gel base.
