Cosmetic Recipe: Calming & Balancing Facial Serum

Instructions:

1. Prepare Phase A: In a clean, sanitized beaker, combine the distilled water and glycerin. Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum over the surface of the water while continuously stirring with a whisk or stick blender to prevent clumping. Mix well until the gum is fully hydrated and a smooth gel forms. This may take several minutes.
2. Add Phase B: Once Phase A is fully hydrated, add the Bidens Tripartita Glycolic Extract and hyaluronic acid solution to the gel. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is homogeneous.
3. Incorporate Phase C: Add Panthenol, Allantoin, and your chosen preservative to the mixture. Stir well to ensure complete dissolution and even distribution of all ingredients.
4. Optional Fragrance (Phase D): If using essential oils, first mix them with Polysorbate 20 in a separate small container. Then, slowly add this solubilized essential oil blend to the main serum mixture, stirring constantly.
5. Final Checks: Check the pH of the finished serum. For facial products, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally recommended for optimal skin compatibility. Adjust with a few drops of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH) if necessary.
6. Bottle: Transfer the finished serum into a clean, sterilized serum bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Application Recommendations:

Apply 2-3 drops of the Calming & Balancing Facial Serum to clean, slightly damp skin on your face and neck twice daily, in the morning and evening, before applying your moisturizer. Gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed. This serum is particularly beneficial for soothing irritated skin, reducing redness, and balancing oil production. Store in a cool, dark place. Perform a patch test before first full application.
