Discover the ingredient that is thought to improve skin flexibility, elasticity, dryness, and so much more! Research speaks for itself—once you learn about what hyaluronic acid is capable of, you will want to use it every day (in everything!) This simple hyaluronic acid serum can be used directly on the skin or as an ingredient to supercharge any of your water-based recipes.
NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.
On a scale, pour 493 g distilled water into a glass measuring cup (note: the larger the surface area of the bowl or cup, the better).
Add 2 g Preservative – Water Soluble PF to distilled water and mix well.
In separate measuring cup, add 5 g hyaluronic acid.
To distilled water mixture, lightly sprinkle hyaluronic acid over surface so that the powder is evenly distributed. Do not stir.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit. Periodically check bowl until all hyaluronic acid is ‘hydrated’ (no longer in powder form). This may take several hours.
Once hyaluronic acid is fully hydrated (a transparent ‘skin’ should be visible at the surface of the water), use stick blender or stand mixer to fully incorporate product into water.
Fill glass bottles to 50 g by weight.
To Use: As a face serum: Apply to face twice a day (morning and night) after cleansing and applying toner (optional). Follow serum with water-based moisturizer to optimize absorption.
As an ingredient: Use hyaluronic acid stock in water phase of recipe.
