Cosmetic Recipe: "Morning Dew" Revitalizing Facial Serum

Create a lightweight, hydrating, and protective facial serum designed to give your skin a fresh, revitalized start to the day.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Hydrate Hyaluronate (Optional Pre-step): In a small, separate container, combine the Sodium Hyaluronate powder with about 10-15ml of distilled water from your total amount. Stir well and let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes (or longer) to fully hydrate and form a clear gel. This helps prevent clumping.
3. Combine Phase A: In a clean beaker, measure out the remaining distilled water. Add the glycerin and stir until fully mixed.
4. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Add the pre-hydrated Sodium Hyaluronate gel (or the powder if not pre-hydrating) to Phase A. Stir very well. Then, add the "Breakfast for Skin" Active Complex and cucumber extract. Stir thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed and the solution is clear (or lightly tinted by the complex).
5. Add Preservative (Phase C): Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the serum mixture. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure it's evenly distributed.
6. pH Check & Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your serum. The target pH for this serum, leveraging the complex's natural pH, is between 5.0 and 5.5. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking until desired pH is reached.
7. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: The 10% inclusion of "Breakfast for Skin" Active Complex in this serum provides potent benefits. For other product types, adjust according to the specified inclusion rates (e.g., 5% for cleansers, 10% for body care).
• Adding to Cool Down Phase: If integrating into an emulsion (like a cream or lotion), always add "Breakfast for Skin" Active Complex during the cool-down phase (below 45°C/113°F) to preserve the integrity of its botanical extracts. For gels, it can be added at room temperature.
• pH Management: While the complex has a favorable pH, always check and adjust the final pH of your product. This ensures compatibility with the skin's natural pH and optimizes preservative efficacy.
• Storage: Store the finished product in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the stability and efficacy of the active ingredients. The natural color of the complex may deepen over time but does not affect its performance.
• Color Influence: The "Breakfast for Skin" Active Complex has a natural color range of red to amber, which will impart a slight tint to your final product. This is normal and a sign of its botanical richness.
• Versatility: This serum can be applied daily in the morning after cleansing and toning, before your moisturizer. It's gentle enough for daily use and suitable for most skin types, particularly those seeking hydration, antioxidant protection, and a healthy glow.
