Question

I have a serum formulation and would like to know if the ingredients are compatible. Also, what is the purpose of adding Silicone Gel Base in this serum formula, and how should it be used to adjust the viscosity?

Answer

Hello,

Regarding the formula provided, all ingredients are compatible.

For the Silicone Gel Base, it is not always necessary. It is used only if you want to increase the viscosity of the serum. You can add it gradually and stir until you achieve the desired viscosity.

Thank you.
