I want to make a Vitamin C serum. Can I use `Pro Polymer™` as a gelling agent to thicken the formula? What is the recommended usage percentage for `Pro Polymer™` to achieve a gel texture?

Answer

Using Pro Polymer™ as a Gelling Agent in Vitamin C Serum

Yes, you can use a gelling agent like Pro Polymer™ instead of Hyaluronic Acid to thicken your Vitamin C serum formulation and prevent it from being too liquid.

Based on the staff's recommendation and product information, Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker) is a suitable option.

  • Recommended Usage Rate: You can start with 0.5-1%. The product description suggests 0.8% for a general gel texture. You can adjust the percentage within this range to achieve your desired viscosity. If the formula contains electrolytes, you might need a higher percentage (up to 2-3%).

Pro Polymer™ helps create a gel texture without making the skin sticky after drying. It is mixed into the water phase of your formulation.
