Vitamin C E Ferulic Serum Formulation: Troubleshooting Cloudiness

Hello,

Achieving a clear and stable Vitamin C E Ferulic formulation requires correct techniques and mixing steps. The cloudiness in your second attempt could be due to several reasons, such as incomplete dissolution of some ingredients or incorrect mixing steps when combining the water and oil phases, leading to separation or small precipitates that appear cloudy.

Based on the staff's recommendation providing a link to an example formulation and mixing steps for Skinceuticals C E Ferulic (which is the original formula for Vitamin C E Ferulic), we recommend that you study and follow the mixing steps in that link carefully again. Generally, to mix high-concentration Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and other ingredients to be clear and stable, it is necessary to dissolve each ingredient in the appropriate solvent first, and there may be a specific order of addition to achieve a clear and stable texture.

Following the recommended steps in the link should help resolve the cloudiness issue and result in a clear product texture similar to the one you purchased.
