Cosmetic Recipe: "Ageless Elixir" Instant Smoothing Peptide Serum

Create a lightweight, fast-absorbing face serum featuring DermaTide Smooth to visibly smooth wrinkles and improve skin density, leaving a more youthful complexion.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Aqueous Phase): In a clean beaker, disperse xanthan gum into glycerin, stirring well to form a lump-free slurry. This helps prevent clumping when adding to water.
3. Form the Gel (Phase A): Slowly add the distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum slurry while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk until a clear, homogeneous gel forms. This might take a few minutes.
4. Cool Down: Allow the gel to cool to below 40°C (104°F). This is crucial for adding heat-sensitive active ingredients.
5. Add Phase B (Active Phase): Once the gel has cooled, slowly add the DermaTide Smooth, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to the gel, stirring well after each addition to ensure complete dissolution and even distribution.
6. Add Preservative: Finally, add your chosen preservative. Stir thoroughly for at least 1-2 minutes to ensure it is fully incorporated.
7. Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished serum. For optimal efficacy of DermaTide Smooth, the pH should be within its recommended range of 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. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sterile serum bottle with a dropper or pump.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: The 2% concentration of DermaTide Smooth in this serum provides a powerful smoothing and anti-aging effect. You can adjust the dosage based on your product's intensity and purpose, staying within the recommended 0.5-4% range.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Always add DermaTide Smooth to the cooled aqueous phase (below 40°C) to preserve its peptide structure and efficacy.
• Compatibility: This peptide is highly compatible with other popular actives like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, allowing for comprehensive formulations.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its stability and effectiveness. The preservative ensures microbial safety.
• Application: Apply a few drops of the serum to clean face and neck after cleansing and toning, both morning and evening. Focus on areas with expression lines or wrinkles. Follow with your preferred moisturizer.
• Consistency: For sustained anti-aging benefits and visible reduction of wrinkles, use this serum consistently over time. You may notice an instant smoothing effect upon initial application.
• 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 peptide-containing products.
