Serum Formulation Too Liquid After Adding Gelling Agent (Pro Polymer)
Question
My serum formulation turned out too liquid even after adding Pro Polymer as a gelling agent. I also mentioned adding silicone. Could you please advise on how to adjust the formula and the detailed mixing steps to achieve the correct texture?
Answer
Hello,
I understand that you are currently having trouble with your serum mixture being too liquid, even after adding the gel-forming agent (Pro Polymer).
From the latest message by the Staff (C7), there is some confusion regarding the ingredients you mentioned, specifically adding silicone, as the formula previously recommended by the Staff (the gel formula) did not include silicone.
The effectiveness and usability of the liquid mixture depend on the actual ingredients and amounts you used, as well as the mixing steps you followed. If the ingredients or proportions are incorrect according to the recommendations, or if the mixing steps were flawed, it could affect the product's effectiveness and stability.
To provide accurate advice, please share the exact formula and quantities of all ingredients you actually used in your last attempt that resulted in a liquid texture, along with the detailed mixing steps. This will help us review and suggest a solution.
Thank you.
