Answer
Serum Formulation with Aloe Vera Gel Heavy Base
Regarding your question about formulating a serum using Aloe Vera Gel Heavy base with the listed ingredients for acne and brightening:
- All the ingredients you mentioned are compatible with the Aloe Vera Gel Heavy base.
- There is no fixed maximum total percentage of extracts you can add. The theoretical limit is based on solubility, but the practical limit depends on the desired texture of your serum. Adding too many ingredients can make the serum feel sticky.
- Crucially, you must check the recommended maximum usage rate for each individual ingredient on its product page on the website. Do not exceed the maximum percentage specified for any single ingredient.
The total percentage of all added ingredients should be kept at a level that results in a pleasant texture for your serum, while strictly adhering to the individual maximum usage rates of each component.
Here are the ingredients you listed:
- Yeast Radiance
- Calendula Extract (Lutein)
- BaicaVital (Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract)
- Acne Bee (Royal Jelly Extract)
- Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3 Niacinamide)
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- WhiteCumin 2x (Tetrahydrocurcuminoids)
- Blueberry Pterostilbene
- Hi-EGCG (Green Tea Extract Catechin)
Please check the usage rate for each of these on their respective product pages.
