Description and Key Properties

Our Natural Pea Peptide (INCI: Water, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Seed Extract), also known as Pea Peptide Complex, Hydrolyzed Pea Protein, or Pea Seed Active, contains short peptides extracted from green pea proteins. These short-chain peptides are easily absorbed and utilized by the skin and hair, offering a broad spectrum of benefits thanks to their unique molecular structure. It is completely water-soluble and has a pH range of 5.0–7.0, making it highly compatible with most water-based cosmetic formulations. It is insoluble in oils.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Ageless Radiance" Firming Face Serum

Create a powerful, anti-aging and firming face serum that leverages the remarkable properties of Natural Pea Peptide for a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: 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 prevents 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 may 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 (Cool Down Phase): Once the gel has cooled, slowly add the Natural Pea Peptide, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and your chosen preservative. Stir thoroughly after each addition to ensure complete dissolution and even distribution. If using an optional essential oil, add it last and stir gently.
6. Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished serum. For a face serum, an ideal pH range is typically 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.
7. Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sterile serum bottle with a dropper or pump.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: The 5% concentration of Natural Pea Peptide in this serum recipe is at the higher end of the recommended range for face serums, providing a potent anti-aging and firming effect. You can adjust this down to 1-3% for maintenance.
• Integration: As Natural Pea Peptide is a water-soluble liquid, it should be incorporated into the cool-down phase of your formulations (below 40°C) to preserve its delicate peptide structure and ensure maximum efficacy.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its stability and active properties. The preservative is vital for extending the product's shelf life.
• Application: Apply a few drops of the serum to clean face and neck after cleansing and toning, both morning and evening, before applying heavier creams or lotions. Focus on areas prone to wrinkles or loss of firmness.
• Compatibility: Due to its water solubility, Natural Pea Peptide is ideal for water-based serums, gels, toners, and emulsions.
• 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 an ingredient.
