Description and Key Features

PRODEW 600 (INCI: Betaine, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, PCA, Serine, Alanine, Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Lysine HCl, Threonine, Arginine, Proline, Water) is an advanced amino acid complex designed to mimic the natural hydrating components found in healthy skin. This intelligent blend works synergistically to replenish essential amino acids, improve moisture retention, and fortify the skin's natural barrier.

Key features:

• Deep Hydration: PRODEW 600 provides intense, long-lasting moisture by attracting and retaining water, effectively addressing dehydration at a cellular level.
• Amino Acid Balance Restoration: It replenishes the skin's natural amino acid reserves, crucial for healthy skin function, protein synthesis, and maintaining cellular integrity.
• Enhanced Skin Elasticity: By supporting collagen and elastin production and improving skin's overall moisture content, it visibly boosts skin elasticity and suppleness.
• Reduced Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL): It strengthens the skin barrier, minimizing moisture evaporation and protecting against environmental aggressors.
• Skin Softening and Flake Reduction: Effectively soothes and softens rough, dry skin, diminishing flakiness and promoting a smoother complexion.
• Improved Hair Texture and Strength: For hair, PRODEW 600 penetrates the hair shaft, reinforcing its structure, improving texture, and enhancing overall strength and resilience.
• Reduced Surfactant Irritation: Its unique composition helps to mitigate the potential irritation caused by surfactants in cleansing products, making formulations milder and more comfortable for sensitive skin and scalp.
• Water Soluble: Easily incorporated into aqueous phases of various cosmetic formulations, ensuring seamless integration and stability.
• Optimal pH: With a pH of 4.5-6.0, it is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic products and skin's natural acidic mantle.

Note: PRODEW 600 is a water-soluble liquid and should be incorporated into the water phase of your formulations. For optimal stability and effectiveness, it's generally best to add it to the cool-down phase (below 40°C) of emulsions. It is not intended for use in candles.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Aqua Rejuvenate" Hydrating Face Serum

Create a lightweight, intensely hydrating face serum featuring PRODEW 600 to deeply moisturize, improve elasticity, and reduce TEWL.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, bottles, pipettes) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A (Gelling): In a clean beaker, mix glycerin with xanthan gum until a smooth slurry forms (this helps prevent clumping). Slowly add distilled water to this slurry while continuously stirring with a mini-mixer or whisk until the xanthan gum is fully hydrated and a clear, uniform gel forms. This may take several minutes.
3. Prepare Phase B (Cool Down): Once Phase A is completely gelled and at room temperature (below 40°C), begin adding the ingredients for Phase B one by one, ensuring thorough mixing after each addition.
   • First, add PRODEW 600. Mix well.
   • Next, add the Hyaluronic Acid Solution. Mix until fully incorporated.
   • Then, add Allantoin. Stir until dissolved.
   • Finally, add the preservative and optional fragrance oil. Mix thoroughly.
4. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your finished serum using pH strips or a pH meter. For a face serum, an ideal pH is typically between 5.0 and 5.5. If needed, adjust the pH using a drop-by-drop addition of a diluted lactic acid solution (to lower pH) or a diluted sodium bicarbonate solution (to raise pH), mixing well after each addition.
5. Packaging: Carefully transfer the finished serum into a clean, sanitized airless pump bottle or dropper bottle.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Dosage: The 5% dosage of PRODEW 600 in this serum provides significant hydration and active benefits. For very dry or compromised skin, you can increase the dosage up to 10% in a mask or more intensive treatment.
• Adding to Cool-Down Phase: Always add PRODEW 600 to the cool-down phase (below 40°C) of your formulations to preserve its active properties and ensure maximum efficacy.
• Solubility: As PRODEW 600 is water-soluble, it integrates seamlessly into water-based products like serums, toners, and gels. It is not suitable for oil-only formulations.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its stability and active ingredient potency.
• Application: Apply a few drops of the serum to clean, damp skin on the face and neck morning and evening before applying moisturizer.
• Benefits: Regular use will lead to deeply hydrated, plumper, more elastic skin with a smoother texture and reduced flakiness.
