CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTORER (ENNACOMPLEX 265) is a highly concentrated, clear liquid active ingredient, specifically engineered to combat the visible signs of skin aging. Its effectiveness lies in its unique synergy of five powerful plant extracts:

• Clematis Extract (Clematis Vitalba): Contributes to skin conditioning and helps to improve overall skin tone and texture.

This water-soluble complex seamlessly integrates into a wide variety of aqueous cosmetic formulations, making it incredibly easy to work with. Its potent botanical composition makes it a go-to ingredient for those seeking to create high-performance anti-aging products that deliver visible results.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Youthful Radiance" Firming Facial Serum

Create a lightweight, powerful facial serum designed to visibly firm, tone, and rejuvenate the skin, featuring CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTORER.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Hydrate Hyaluronate (Optional pre-step for better dissolution): In a separate small container, mix the Sodium Hyaluronate powder with a small amount of distilled water (e.g., 10ml from your total distilled water). Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or longer) to fully hydrate and form a gel.
3. Combine Phase A: In a clean beaker, measure out the main portion of distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol. Stir gently until fully mixed.
4. Incorporate Actives (Phase B): Add the pre-hydrated Sodium Hyaluronate gel (if used) to Phase A. If not pre-hydrating, add the powder directly and stir very well until dissolved. Then add the CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTORER (ENNACOMPLEX 265) and liquid green tea extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed and the solution is clear.
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 even distribution.
6. pH Adjustment: Check the pH of your serum using a pH meter or pH strips. For facial serums, a pH between 5.0 and 5.5 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Add diluted lactic acid solution drop by drop, stirring well after each addition, until the 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 Use:

• Inclusion Rate: The recommended 1-10% inclusion rate for CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTORER (ENNACOMPLEX 265) provides flexibility. For a potent facial serum, 5% is an excellent starting point. For body applications, you can go higher, up to 10%.
• Application Method: Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin (face, neck, and décolleté) morning and night. Gently massage in upward motions until fully absorbed. Follow with your preferred moisturizer.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The water-soluble nature of the complex requires a broad-spectrum preservative for product stability and safety.
• Compatibility: This complex is water-soluble and integrates easily into aqueous solutions, gels, and O/W emulsions. Always check for compatibility with other unique ingredients in your formula.
• Consistency is Key: For optimal results, regular and consistent use of products containing CONNECTIVE TISSUE RESTORER is recommended to see visible improvements in skin firmness and elasticity over time.
• For Professional Use: This component is suitable for both professional cosmetic formulations and advanced DIY skincare enthusiasts.
