Cosmetic Recipe: "Youthful Glow" Revitalizing Facial Serum

Create a lightweight, hydrating, and rejuvenating facial serum designed to improve skin tone, elasticity, and provide antioxidant protection, featuring the Vitamin B5, PP, C & Hyaluronic Acid Complex.

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. Combine Phase A: In a clean glass beaker, measure out the distilled water and glycerin. Stir gently until fully mixed.
3. Prepare Phase B (if pre-mixing actives): In a separate small container, you can optionally combine the Vitamin B5, PP, C & Hyaluronic Acid Complex and Green Tea Extract. This is not strictly necessary as they are water-soluble but can ensure good dispersion.
4. Add Actives to Water Phase: Add the pre-mixed Phase B (or individual components) to Phase A. Stir the mixture thoroughly for several minutes until all ingredients are uniformly dispersed.
5. Add Preservative: Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the serum mixture. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution throughout the liquid.
6. Add Essential Oil/Fragrance Oil (Optional): If using, add your desired essential oil or water-soluble fragrance oil. Stir again to ensure it is well dispersed.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your serum. For facial serums, a pH between 5.0 and 5.5 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. 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.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper or pump dispenser.

Recommendations for Use:

• Optimal Dosing: The recommended usage rate of 3-8% for this complex in serums makes it highly effective. Our recipe uses 5% for a balanced approach.
• Cold Process/Cool-Down Addition: Since the complex contains temperature-sensitive vitamins and hyaluronic acid, always add it to your formulation during the cool-down phase (below 40°C/104°F) if you are making an emulsion or heated product. For water-based serums as in this recipe, it's a simple cold process addition.
• pH Stability: The complex itself has a broad pH range (3.0-6.0), but always confirm the final product's pH is within the optimal range for skin and for the efficacy of other active ingredients and preservatives.
• Synergistic Blending: This complex is already rich in active ingredients. When adding other actives, ensure they are compatible and do not counteract the benefits of the complex.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the vitamins and other ingredients.
• Patch Test: Before widespread use, always perform a patch test on a small area of skin to ensure no sensitivity or allergic reactions occur.
• Skin & Hair Benefits: Highlight the dual benefits of this complex for both skin and hair in your product descriptions, appealing to a broader audience.
