Serum Formulation for Lifting

Hello,

Regarding your serum formulation for skin lifting using Silky Serum Base Plus and the ingredients you listed:

Most of the active ingredients you selected, including Lift-Now™, Repair Activator™, DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid, and Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), can generally be incorporated into a serum base like Silky Serum Base Plus.

However, there is a critical point regarding Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum. Based on the product information and the staff's previous reply, this specific Vitamin C product is designed to be used as a ready-made serum at 100% concentration and is not suitable for mixing with other ingredients as it can affect its stability and effectiveness. Therefore, including it at 11% in your proposed formula is not recommended. If you wish to include Vitamin C in your serum, you would need to select a different form of Vitamin C that is stable and suitable for mixing into formulations.

For mixing with Silky Serum Base Plus, it is important to use a stirring or blending tool to ensure the ingredients are properly incorporated and the desired serum texture is achieved. Manual stirring may not be sufficient.

Let's look at your proposed formula:

• Silky Serum Base Plus 65%
• Lift-Now™ 1%
• Repair Activator™ 10%
• Full&Lift™ 5%
• Stabilized Vitamin C 11%
• DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid 5%
• Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) 3%

As mentioned, the Stabilized Vitamin C should not be mixed into this formula. Also, the Silky Serum Base Plus is designed to be mixed with a water phase (recommended at least 60-70% water for stability), and your formula does not explicitly include added water. You would need to adjust the percentages to include the necessary water phase and follow the mixing instructions for the base, which typically involves mixing the oil phase (if any) with the base first, then gradually adding the water phase while stirring.

Regarding the percentages of other actives:

• Lift-Now™ is typically recommended at 5% for noticeable instant results, although 1% is within the general usage range.
• Repair Activator™ at 10% is within its recommended usage range (5-100%).
• DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid at 5% is at the higher end of the recommended range (1-10%, 3% recommended) and might cause skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Using it with Panthenol can help enhance the tightening effect.
• Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) at 3% is within the recommended range (0.5-10%, 1-3% recommended) and is unlikely to cause stickiness at this level.
• We could not identify a product named "Full&Lift™" in our database to provide specific information on its compatibility or recommended usage.

In summary, while most of your chosen active ingredients are compatible with a serum base, the Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum cannot be used in this mixed formula. You would need to reformulate, potentially replacing the Stabilized Vitamin C with a different, mixable Vitamin C form and ensuring you include the required water phase for the Silky Serum Base Plus, using a proper stirring tool for mixing.

Please note that the suitability of the final product for your skin depends on your individual skin type and sensitivities.
