Pudding Cream Formula with Vitamin C & B3: Stability Issue with Reshape Gel

Based on the discussion, there are two types of pudding cream bases:

• Non-returning type: Uses Pro Polymer (Acrylate Crosspolymer) at around 4-5%.
• Korean-style returning type: Uses Reshape Gel Maker at around 4-5%.

You are interested in the returning type with Vitamin C for skin brightening. Here is an example formula provided:

Vitamin C + Reshape Gel Pudding Cream Formula

1. Perfect-C TransDerm™ (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) - 10%
2. Vitamin B3 - 5%
3. Reshape Gel - 5%
4. Water - 79%
5. Phenoxyethanol (Preservative) - 1%

Instructions:

1. Mix ingredients 2 (Vitamin B3), 4 (Water), and 5 (Phenoxyethanol) until clear.
2. Add ingredient 3 (Reshape Gel) and gently heat to approximately 50°C. Avoid high heat as it can damage the gel texture. Blend until a uniform, cloudy texture is achieved (different from when Reshape Gel is first added to water, where it won't mix easily).
3. Add ingredient 1 (Perfect-C TransDerm™) to the cloudy gel base. Turn off the heat and continue blending for about 5 minutes. Let it cool.

Important Correction: The staff noted on 27/10/2015 that the combination of Perfect-C and Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3) in this specific formula has stability issues. The formula may darken and its effectiveness may decrease after about 4 weeks of storage. This does not cause harm to the skin but reduces the formula's potency. If you used this formula and your ingredients were damaged, you can contact customer service to claim a replacement (mention case #CA13126).
