Formulations

Vitamin C is a strong anti-oxidant which prevents oxidative damage. Using L-Ascorbic acid is bit tricky and difficult. Instead Vitamin C derivatives like MAP can be used which work great as an anti-oxidant and help in reducing pigmentation.

This is a simple serum yet effective as a day serum.

Allantoin, Green tea extracts are soothing for the skin. They help in reducing inflammation.

Glycerin and HA are humectants which keep skin hydrated and plump.

Lactic acid is added to reduce the pH to 6 since MAP works effectively above 6 which is okay for skin too.

Preservative Eco is a natural preservative.

Ingredients required: 50g

Phase A: (Heated water)

MAP (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) - 1.5g

Sodium Gluconate- 0.05g

Procedure:

• Add Phase B ingredients once the beaker is off the heat and is at room temperature.
• Sprinkle HA powder in the last. Leave it for 3-4 hours or overnight to hydrate.
• HA forms lumps initially but it will be dissolved in sometime.
• If it is not dissolved even after 4 hours, you can break the lumps with stirring rod or use blender.

• Test the pH, it should be around 6. If it is higher, add few drops of lactic acid, if it is lower add few drops of TEA (Triethanolamine).
• Once HA is hydrated and it has a nice gel texture, pour into a dropper bottle

Substitutions:

• Rose water can be replaced with another hydrosol or distilled water
• Extracts can be of your choice.
• EDTA can be used in place of sodium gluconate and propanediol 1,3 instead of glycerine.

Weighing scale (that measures upto 0.01g)

Cups to measure ingredients

Procedure:

• Measure all the heated phase ingredients using a scale and add in a beaker. Scale used here measures up to 0.01g.

• Heat on a double boiler or in oven checking every 10 seconds.
• Double boiler or Bain Marie: Put the beaker with ingredients in a steel pot of water. Direct heat on stove can degrade the quality of ingredients and can burn them. Double boiler increases the heat slowly and melts the solid ingredients.
• If you are using oven, heat for 60 seconds or until ingredients are melted. Be aware that continuous heat can cause glass to break and it can blast. Keep checking every 10 seconds by opening the oven and stirring the ingredients.

• Once the ingredients are melted and removed off heat, rest it for few minutes until it comes to room temperature.
• Stir it and add granulated sugar slowly.
• Add Lemon E.O, Vitamin E and Preservative eco.
• Spirulina can be added to the entire mixture or add in half to create two color layers.

• Leave it for 2-3 hours or over-night to set and pour in jars. Leaving it for few hours will make it hard since we have the thickeners.

Substitutions:

• Butters, Oils, Essential oils, Extracts can be swapped with the ones that you like. We have a wide range of ingredients, check out our site. Just a note, different essential oils have different usage rates, check out the usage rate before direct swap.
