Hi Marie! I commented not to long ago about the silicone gel replacement. I’ve been wanting to try something a little different though. I kinda created my “own” formulation. But want to double check with you :) 5% L ascorbic acid 2% DL pantheol 1% optiphen plus 92% aloe Vera gel I do not have a lightweight liquid water but I figured that aloe Vera gel is already thin and watery. I also thought that since your vitamin C can’t contain water because there is no preservative. I was also thinking instead of aloe Vera gel I could do hyalouronic acid mixture and give the skin more benefits.

@HumblebeeAndMe2 жыл бұрын
Hi Christine! Since vitamin C is not soluble in the base, there will always be some small specks, no matter how finely you grind it. This is why I recommend mixing the suspension with a water-containing product at the moment of use; it should dissolve readily in that and you'll get a smooth application. Have you tried that yet? Are you still encountering gritty vitamin C after mixing it with a hydrous toner or lotion?

@HumblebeeAndMe Жыл бұрын
This formulation is a suspension, not a solution. The L-ascorbic acid is suspended (not dissolved!) in an anhydrous base. L-ascorbic acid is water soluble; in order for it to dissolve, a formulation needs to contain water. The key to the stability of this formulation is the absence of water. L-ascorbic acid will not dissolve in this formulation. It will remain solid and will be noticeable if you rub this suspension directly into the skin without mixing it with some sort of product that contains water first. This is why I encourage grinding and smashing the L-ascorbic acid as finely as possible and mixing it with a product that contains water before application. Please read the free partner blog post if you haven't for more information. Happy making!

@@HumblebeeAndMe Thank you so much for your reply! I read your blog completely and understand this is a non water formula, there are many other vitamin C serums that contain water that will of course need preservatives. I was wondering if I use aloe Vera gel with vitamin C powder and the water plus preservative will vitamin C powder dissolve completely

Wow…..not everyone has time to do this. For those who do, might as well make it a hobby if you love the activity. You learn in the process too. For myself, instead of buying all the separate ingredients that I don’t even have on hand, I’d much rather buy one product with everything already in it.

Silicones are safe, non-irritating, transepidermal water loss reducing, vegan, hypoallergenic, moisturizing, and non-toxic. There's a lot of myths out there about silicones, but they're great ingredients. I highly recommend reading this post from LabMuffin to learn more: labmuffin.com/silicone-mythbusting-with-video/. You certainly don't have to use silicones in your skincare products, but don't avoid them because you believe lies about them :)
