Activated Resorcinol™: 1.00%Ume Extract(Anti-Glycation): 2.00%Licorice Extract(Glabridin 90%): 0.05%Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate(aka.Pitera): 50.00%Beta Glucan(Saccharomyces cerevisiaeextract): 5.00%Yeast Radiance™: 3.00%Pal-GHK,Pal-GQPR(Matrixyl 3000): 5.00%Repair Activator™: 10.00%- น้ำกลั่น ปราศจากเชื้อ: 20.95%
Total: 100.00%
Answer
Based on the ingredients and their concentrations in your essence formulation:
- The high percentage of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (50%) forms a significant part of the liquid base.
- However, the inclusion of Beta Glucan at 5% and Repair Activator™ (Bifida Ferment Lysate) at 10% will significantly increase the viscosity.
- Beta Glucan, in particular, is known to create a thicker texture and can sometimes feel slightly heavy or form a film on the skin at this concentration.
- The peptides (Matrixyl 3000 and Pep®-Coll) will add some slip and body as well.
Therefore, the texture of this formulation is likely to be more viscous than a very light, watery essence. It will probably feel more like a serum or a slightly thicker essence, and due to the Beta Glucan, it might feel a bit heavy or leave a slight film, depending on the specific grades of ingredients used.
