  Xanhtam gum and LAA

  Posted by antmagn on July 4, 2025 at 3:15 am

  Hello,

  I used to make my own vitamin c serum with LAA (l-ascorbic acid) and plain distilled water, geogard 211 preservative (Benzyl alcohol, Dehydroacetic acid), disium EDTA and gse (grapefrtuit seed extract). It used to work fine, I’ve tested the ph and it was low but my skin is fine with it, being doing this for years, the tingling from LAA is there.

  Now I decided to make it a little thicker and add xantham gum to it. It feels more luxury now that is thicker, ph the same but it feels like it does not abosorb by the skin, I do not feel any tingling anymore and it feels like a film and sitting on top. Is this possible? Should I leave it watery as it was?

  Thank you in advance 🙂
