Description and Key Features

AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL (INCI: Glycerin, Water, Trigonella Foenum-Graecum Seed Extract) is a cutting-edge cosmetic active ingredient derived from the potent fenugreek seed (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum). This unique complex, also known as Fenugreek Extract in Glycerin or Anti-sagging complex, is specifically formulated to address age-related skin concerns, particularly skin laxity and loss of definition. Its effectiveness stems from its rich composition, which includes beneficial compounds from fenugreek that work synergistically to revitalize the skin's architecture.

Key features and benefits:

• Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid Synthesis Boost: AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL actively stimulates the production of collagen, essential for skin firmness, and hyaluronic acid, crucial for deep hydration and plumpness.
• Connective Tissue Matrix Strengthening: It fortifies the skin's underlying support structure, leading to enhanced resilience and a more robust appearance.
• Anti-Sagging & Contouring: By reinforcing the skin's matrix, it effectively reduces skin sagging and helps to visibly sculpt and define facial contours, restoring a more youthful silhouette.
• Phytoestrogenic Activity: Its unique phytoestrogenic properties contribute to improved skin elasticity and firmness, making it particularly beneficial for mature skin undergoing hormonal changes.
• Enhanced Elasticity & Firmness: Regular use results in noticeably more elastic and firm skin, contributing to a smoother, more toned complexion.
• Oil and Fat Soluble: This characteristic makes it highly versatile for incorporation into a wide range of oil-based and emulsified cosmetic formulations. It is insoluble in water.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Ageless Contour" Overnight Lifting Face Mask

Create a rich, deeply nourishing overnight face mask designed to intensely lift, firm, and restore skin elasticity while you sleep, featuring AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, containers for the mask) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Aqueous Phase): In a heat-resistant beaker, combine distilled water and glycerin. Disperse xanthan gum into the glycerin first, then add water while stirring well to avoid clumps. Heat this phase to 70-75°C (158-167°F) on a hot plate or in a double boiler.
3. Prepare Phase B (Oil Phase): In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine emulsifying wax, shea butter, jojoba oil, and squalane. Heat this phase to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are fully melted and homogeneous.
4. Emulsification: Slowly pour the heated aqueous phase (Phase A) into the heated oil phase (Phase B) while continuously mixing with a hand blender or stick blender on low to medium speed. Blend for 2-3 minutes until a thick, homogeneous emulsion forms.
5. Cool Down: Continue stirring occasionally as the emulsion cools down. This helps create a smooth texture. Once the temperature drops below 40°C (104°F), proceed to Phase C.
6. Add Phase C (Cool Down Phase): Add AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL, Vitamin E, Allantoin, fragrance oil (if using), and preservative to the cooled emulsion. Stir thoroughly for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
7. Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished mask. For a face mask, an ideal pH range is typically 5.0-6.0. Adjust if necessary by adding a tiny drop of diluted lactic acid to lower pH or diluted baking soda solution to raise pH.
8. Package: Transfer the finished overnight mask into a clean, sterile jar or airless pump bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL Dosage: Using 5% AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL in this overnight mask provides a powerful anti-aging treatment. Ensure it is added in the cool-down phase as it is a sensitive active ingredient.
• Solubility: Remember AKOSKY™ ETHERNAL is oil-soluble and insoluble in water. It integrates seamlessly into emulsified systems like creams and masks.
• Application: Apply a generous layer of the mask to a clean face, neck, and décolleté before bedtime, once or twice a week. Allow it to absorb overnight. Rinse off any residue in the morning.
• Storage: Store the finished mask in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its efficacy and extend shelf life. The preservative is crucial for product stability.
• Texture: The mask will have a rich, creamy texture. If you prefer a lighter consistency, slightly reduce the percentage of emulsifying wax and butters.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to an ingredient.
