Using Sesaflash and DMAE Bitartrate

Regarding your questions about using Sesaflash and DMAE Bitartrate together for a skin-tightening and anti-wrinkle cream, especially with a limited budget:

• Compatibility: Sesaflash and DMAE Bitartrate can be used together. However, DMAE Bitartrate is acidic, which will likely lower the pH of your formulation.
• pH Adjustment: Yes, you might need to adjust the pH when using DMAE Bitartrate, especially if combining it with other ingredients like Sesaflash or incorporating it into an existing cream base. The pH might need to be raised to above 5, depending on the sensitivity of other ingredients in your base to low pH.
• Low Budget Recommendation: For a limited budget, it is recommended to start by using DMAE Bitartrate alone. DMAE is known to be effective for skin lifting and wrinkle reduction by itself. Using just one active ingredient simplifies the formulation process and helps avoid potential pH issues that can arise when combining multiple ingredients.

Mixing DMAE Bitartrate into a 500g Cream Base

If you have a 500g cream base and want to add DMAE Bitartrate (which contains approximately 40% DMAE) to achieve a certain concentration (like 4% DMAE in the final product, which corresponds to about 10% DMAE Bitartrate), you can add the required amount of DMAE Bitartrate directly to the base.

To achieve approximately 10% DMAE Bitartrate in a 500g final product (assuming the base is the remaining part), you would add around 10.20 grams of DMAE Bitartrate to your 500g cream base and mix well until it dissolves. DMAE Bitartrate dissolves easily. The main consideration here is how the acidity of DMAE Bitartrate will affect the pH of your existing cream base and whether that lower pH will impact the stability or effectiveness of other ingredients already in the base.
