Review of Skin Lifting and Anti-Wrinkle Formula

Thank you for sharing your formula. Let's review it.

Here are the ingredients and their percentages:

• Water: 72%
• Satin Mousse: 1%
• Lift-Now (Pullulan): 5%
• Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8): 10%
• Matrixyl 3000: 8%
• Fractionated Coconut Oil: 3%
• Phenoxyethanol: 1%

Total: 100%. The percentages add up correctly.

This formula appears to be designed as an emulsion (like a serum or light cream) containing a water phase, an oil phase (Fractionated Coconut Oil), and an emulsifier (Satin Mousse).

Feasibility and Considerations:

• Emulsion Stability: The ratio of emulsifier (1% Satin Mousse) to the oil phase (3% Fractionated Coconut Oil) seems quite low. This might lead to instability of the emulsion over time, potentially causing separation. It's advisable to perform stability testing (like heat/cold cycles) if you proceed with mixing.
• Active Ingredients:
  • Lift-Now (Pullulan) at 5% is a suitable concentration for an instant lifting effect.
  • Argireline at 10% is a high concentration, often used in targeted anti-wrinkle products, and is within a plausible range for this active.
  • Matrixyl 3000 at 8% is a very high concentration. Typical recommended usage rates for Matrixyl 3000 are often lower (e.g., 3-8%, depending on the supplier's specific product concentration). While using a higher concentration might seem beneficial, it doesn't always translate to increased efficacy and could potentially be unnecessary or costly. It's highly recommended to check the supplier's recommended usage rate for the specific Matrixyl 3000 product you are using.
• Preservation: Phenoxyethanol at 1% is a standard and effective concentration for preservation.

Conclusion:

The formula can be mixed, but you should be aware of the potential stability issues with the emulsion due to the low emulsifier/oil ratio. Also, double-check the recommended usage rate for your specific Matrixyl 3000 product. If you mix it, perform stability tests.
