Hi thank you for this formula and just subbed because your videos are everything! Is it best to stick to one extract or can you add more? Also what is the shelf life for this serum? thank you

[@ziverorganiques]

Hello, thank you so much! You can use as many as extracts you like. Sky is the limit.Just make sure they are water soluble, as this water based formula, and don’t forgot to discount the water amount per extract. For example: if you add additional 2% extract like say green tea, then you can reduce to percentage from the water and so on. As per the shelf life. It depends on the preservative used. If you don’t use preservative a month max. Hope this helps

[@sofiakasimovaisufova7819]

Hi I have low hialuronic acid, can I use csantan gum? For example 0,5 %?

[@ziverorganiques]

Hi Sofia, Low HA doesn’t make that silky touch. Needs to be mixed with high HA. If you don’t have it, you can use it with Xanthan gum . Start even lower than 0.5, something like 0.3, and you can increase it, if you don’t like the texture. Start small Amounts like 30gr. I don’t show this in the video but you can dissolve HA and the gum together in glycerine first before adding to the water. Let me know how you get on!

[@ziverorganiques]

Hello, yes you can use L ascorbic acid. Though it’s not the most stable form vitamin c. Start with low percentage like 0.5-1%, I would highly recommend to get a ph strip or a meter to measure the ph, as I didn’t use l ascorbic in this formula. So I wouldn’t exactly know how the ph will be impacted.

Great video.. HA is so expensive is my country. Do you have any other alternatives that I can use as a gelling agent? And another ingredient to use has similar skin benefits to HA? Thank you in advance

[@ziverorganiques]

Thank you so much. Re: HA alternatives there are a few things you can do 1-) you can make a gel with HA and use that multiples over more economical way, so buy the lowest amount of powder you can afford. Use 1 HA : 10 water ratio and make a long lasting gel 2-) if you can’t afford it at all, HA acts as a humectant so you either increase glycerin ratio or if you can find propenadiol/sodium lactate/sodium pca these should be good alternatives. 3-) as for the gelling agent xanthan gum is a popular choice, you can look for guar gum and experiment too. Hope this helps

[@ziverorganiques]

Also just remembered. Snow fungus mushrooms (tramella) is very good alternative to HA. It draws moisture to the skin. If you can find in powder form, you can add to your formulation and experiment
