Revised Acne Serum Formula and Mixing Method for Electrolyte Compatibility
Question
I need a formula for an acne treatment product and instructions on how to mix it. I was previously using Satin Cream Maker, but was informed it's not suitable with Vitamin B6 due to it being an electrolyte. Could you provide a revised formula and mixing steps? The desired formula should include:
- Willow Bark Extract
- Salicylic Acid EZ 2%
- Vitamin B6 0.5%
- Safe-B3 5%
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 0.5%
- AnyGel 1%
- Mild Preserved Eco 1%
- Reservoir-Tech 1%
- Distilled water (remaining part)
Please also provide the correct mixing procedure for these ingredients.
Answer
Regarding your acne formula and mixing method:
The staff's comment correctly points out the issue with your original formula. Vitamin B6 is an electrolyte, which is not compatible with Satin Cream Maker. This incompatibility can cause the product to destabilize or not form the desired texture.
The staff has recommended a revised formula and mixing method to address this:
Revised Acne Formula:
- Willow Bark Extract
- Salicylic Acid EZ 2%
- Vitamin B6 0.5%
- Safe-B3 5%
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate 0.5% (Note: The linked product ID 1070 is for PEG4000, which seems incorrect for this ingredient name. Assuming Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is intended for soothing.)
- AnyGel 1% (Thickener/Gelling agent)
- Mild Preserved Eco 1% (Preservative blend)
- Reservoir-Tech 1% (Penetration enhancer/Delivery system)
- Distilled water (remaining part)
This revised formula replaces Satin Cream Maker with AnyGel, which is a suitable gelling agent for formulas containing electrolytes. It also adds Mild Preserved Eco for preservation and Reservoir-Tech to potentially enhance ingredient delivery.
Recommended Mixing Instructions:
- Mix AnyGel (item 6) with distilled water (item 9). Stir or blend until a gel texture is formed.
- Gradually add the other ingredients (items 1-5, 7, and 8) into the gel base.
- Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is homogeneous.
This revised formula and method provide a more stable and effective approach for your acne treatment product.
