Cosmetic Recipe: "Radiant Revival" Brightening Face Serum

Create a lightweight, powerful brightening face serum using SkinWhite Ascutin to target hyperpigmentation and enhance overall skin radiance.

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 the xanthan gum into glycerin, stirring well to form a lump-free slurry. This helps prevent 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, light gel forms. This might 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 like SkinWhite Ascutin.
5. Add Phase B (Cool Down Phase): Once the gel has cooled, slowly add SkinWhite Ascutin, sodium hyaluronate, and your chosen preservative. Stir thoroughly after each addition to ensure complete dissolution and even distribution of all ingredients.
6. Check pH (Recommended): Test the pH of your finished serum. SkinWhite Ascutin has an optimal pH range of 4.5-6.0. Aim for your final product pH to be within this range, or suitable for face serums (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 1.5% concentration of SkinWhite Ascutin in this recipe is suitable for daily use as a brightening serum. For more intensive results or specific spot treatment areas, you can increase the dosage up to 4% or 5% (for professional use).
• Temperature Sensitivity: Always add SkinWhite Ascutin to the cool-down phase (below 40°C) of your formulation to preserve its stability and efficacy. Avoid exposing it to high heat.
• Solubility: Since it's water-soluble, ensure thorough mixing into your aqueous phase to prevent separation. It will not dissolve in oil-only formulations.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its potency and extend shelf life. The amber color of SkinWhite Ascutin helps protect the vitamin C component.
• Application: Apply a few drops of the "Radiant Revival" serum to a clean face and neck after cleansing and toning, both morning and evening. Follow with your preferred moisturizer and always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
• Patch Test: As with any new skincare product, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin.
