This nearly colorless, transparent liquid is a highly effective water-soluble blend of essential minerals, specifically designed to revitalize and re-energize skin, especially when it's stressed or fatigued. Supplied in a convenient 100ml transport container, Physiogenyl is your go-to solution for creating advanced skincare formulations that truly make a difference.

Description and Key Features

Physiogenyl (INCI: Water, Sodium PCA, Magnesium PCA, Zinc PCA, Manganese PCA) is a unique PCA Mineral Complex that delivers a potent blend of electrolytes and trace elements directly to the skin. PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) is a naturally occurring component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), which plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration. By chelating essential minerals with PCA, Physiogenyl ensures optimal absorption and bioavailability, maximizing their beneficial effects on skin metabolism and health.

Key features:

• Cellular Metabolism Booster: Directly fuels cellular activity, enhancing skin's natural renewal processes and energy levels.
• Microelement Enrichment: Delivers vital minerals (Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, and Sodium) essential for countless biological functions within the skin.
• Barrier Reinforcement: Strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier, making it more resilient against environmental aggressors and moisture loss.
• Enhanced Moisture Retention: Significantly improves the skin's ability to hold onto water, leading to deep and long-lasting hydration.
• Antioxidant and Restorative Action: Offers protective benefits against free radical damage and aids in the skin's natural repair mechanisms.
• Increased Stress Resistance: Boosts the skin's ability to withstand various forms of stress, including environmental pollution and fatigue, promoting a healthier, more vibrant appearance.
• Optimal pH Range: With a pH of 5.0–7.0, it is well-suited for a wide range of cosmetic formulations without significantly altering the final product's pH.
• Excellent Solubility: Being water-soluble, it integrates seamlessly into aqueous phases of cosmetic formulations.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Urban Glow" Revitalizing Face Serum

Create a lightweight, hydrating, and anti-stress face serum with Physiogenyl to energize and protect skin from daily aggressors.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and let them air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Aqueous Gel):
   • In a clean beaker, mix glycerin with xanthan gum until a smooth paste forms. This helps prevent lumps when adding water.
   • Gradually add distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum paste while stirring continuously with a mini-mixer or whisk until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and a clear, uniform gel forms. This may take a few minutes.
3. Add Phase B (Cooling/Active Ingredients):
   • Once the gel base is formed and has cooled to below 40°C (104°F), add Physiogenyl, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, and your chosen preservative.
   • Stir well after each addition to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly dispersed and dissolved.
4. Check pH (Optional, but Recommended):
   • Test the pH of your finished serum. For a face serum, an ideal pH range is typically 5.0-6.0.
   • If needed, adjust the pH by adding a single drop of diluted lactic acid (to lower pH) or a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution (to raise pH), mixing well after each addition until the desired pH is reached.
5. Packaging: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sterile serum bottle with a dropper or pump.

Recommendations for Use:

• Dosage Precision: This recipe uses a 2% concentration of Physiogenyl, ideal for a facial serum designed for daily use to enhance hydration and energy. Always adhere to recommended dosage guidelines.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Remember to add Physiogenyl and other heat-sensitive actives (like panthenol and sodium hyaluronate) to the cooling phase of your formulation, after the main emulsification or gelling process and when the product temperature is below 40°C (104°F).
• Solubility: Since Physiogenyl is water-soluble, ensure it's fully dissolved in the aqueous phase of your formula.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability and efficacy of the active ingredients. The "Good until" date of 09.2026 for the raw material means your finished product will have a long shelf life if properly preserved.
• Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the "Urban Glow" serum to clean, dry skin on the face and neck morning and night before your moisturizer. Gently pat into the skin until absorbed.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner elbow) before full application to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions, especially with new ingredients.
