Using DMAE Powder in Skin Tightening Gel Formulation

Hello, Regarding your question about using DMAE powder in the DMAE Skin Tightening Gel formula and based on the information provided by chalermlap, here is a summary of the answers:

1. Adjusting Proportions: That is correct. If you are using DMAE powder instead of the liquid form in the DMAE Skin Tightening Gel formula (which normally uses 20% liquid DMAE), you should use 10% DMAE powder and increase the distilled water to 79%.
2. pH Adjustment: Yes, pH adjustment is necessary.
3. Steps for Adding DMAE Powder: Chalermlap recommended the following steps for preparing the formula using DMAE powder:
   • Prepare the 10% DMAE powder by dissolving it in a portion of the distilled water (approximately 10-20% of the total water) and adjust the pH to be within the range of 4-6.
   • Use 2% Pro Polymer dissolved in the remaining distilled water to form the gel base.
   • Add 5% Vitamin B3 to the prepared gel base and stir until completely dissolved.
   • Add the dissolved DMAE solution prepared in the first step, followed by 3% Pep®-Coll.
   • Add 1% Phenoxyethanol.

Hope this information is helpful for preparing your formula.
