This clear to light-yellow liquid, with its powerful blend of natural amino acids and humectants, closely mimics the skin's own Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). With proven ability to deeply hydrate, restore amino acid balance, enhance elasticity, and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), PRODEW 600 is your go-to ingredient for superior cosmetic formulations.

Its unique composition of amino acids and other moisturizing components is specifically formulated to be highly analogous to the human skin's NMF, making it exceptionally effective at boosting natural hydration mechanisms.

Key properties:

• Deep Hydration: Provides intense, long-lasting moisture by drawing and retaining water in the skin and hair.
• Amino Acid Balance Restoration: Replenishes the skin's essential amino acids, crucial for maintaining its barrier function and overall health.
• Increased Skin Elasticity: Improves the skin's suppleness and resilience, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
• Reduced Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL): Strengthens the skin barrier, minimizing moisture evaporation and preventing dehydration.
• Softening Effect: Leaves skin feeling smoother and more supple, alleviating dryness and flakiness.
• Improved Hair Texture and Strength: Enhances the feel and durability of hair, reducing breakage and improving manageability.
• Reduced Irritation from Surfactants: Helps to mitigate the potential dryness or irritation caused by cleansing agents in shampoos and shower gels, making formulas gentler.
• Water Soluble: Easily integrates into water-based formulations without affecting clarity or stability.
• Optimal pH: Maintains a stable pH range of 4.5–6.0, compatible with most skin and hair formulations.
• Transparent to Light Yellow Liquid: Does not significantly alter the color of the final product.

Important Note: PRODEW 600 is a water-soluble liquid and should be incorporated into the water phase of your formulations. It is typically added in the cool-down phase (below 40°C/104°F) to preserve the integrity of its amino acid complex. It is not suitable for candle making.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Hydra-Balance" Deep Hydrating Facial Serum

Create a lightweight, deeply hydrating facial serum that balances amino acids and enhances skin elasticity, perfect for daily use.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottles, pipettes) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Water Phase): In a clean beaker, disperse the xanthan gum into the glycerin. Stir well to create a smooth slurry without clumps.
3. Hydrate Xanthan Gum: Gradually add the distilled water to the glycerin/xanthan gum slurry while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk. Continue mixing until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and a clear, uniform gel forms. This may take several minutes.
4. Add Active Ingredients (Phase B - Cool Down): Once the gel is fully formed and at room temperature (below 40°C/104°F), add the PRODEW 600, 1% hyaluronic acid solution, and panthenol. Mix thoroughly after each addition to ensure even distribution.
5. Add Preservative: Incorporate the chosen preservative into the mixture and stir well for at least one minute.
6. pH Adjustment (Phase C): Check the pH of the serum using a pH meter or pH strips. The ideal pH for facial serums is typically between 5.0 and 6.0. If needed, add a drop or two of diluted lactic acid (or a 10% citric acid solution) to slowly adjust the pH down to the desired range. Mix well after each adjustment.
7. Bottle the Serum: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sanitized dropper bottle or airless pump bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosage: A 5% concentration of PRODEW 600 in a facial serum provides significant hydrating and barrier-restoring benefits without making the product sticky or heavy.
• Cool-Down Phase Addition: Always add PRODEW 600 to the cool-down phase (below 40°C/104°F) of your formulations to preserve the integrity and efficacy of its delicate amino acid complex.
• Compatibility: PRODEW 600 is water-soluble, making it ideal for clear serums, toners, and water-based creams. It integrates seamlessly into most aqueous cosmetic formulations.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
• Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin after toning, before your moisturizer. Gently pat onto the face, neck, and décolletage until absorbed. Use twice daily, morning and evening.
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full facial application to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
