Recipe for a soothing skin serum with Uncaryl

Purified water 74 ml
Uncaryl 5 ml
Glycerin 5 ml
Gelling agent 2 g
Preservative 1 g

To prepare the serum purified water is placed into a clean container and the gelling agent is evenly dispersed over the surface, allowing full hydration. After gel formation the mixture is gently stirred until uniform. Glycerin is then added and mixed thoroughly. Uncaryl is gradually incorporated with gentle stirring until evenly distributed. Finally the preservative is added and the formulation is mixed carefully before allowing the product to stabilize prior to filling or use.

Uncaryl is intended for B2B formulation development ensuring stable and reproducible cosmetic products with versatile application.
