Add Hyaluronic Acid to Serum ?

Posted by Landmark on June 30, 2015 at 5:20 pm

Hi! I will appreciate some advice on the following scenario. I bought 16 oz of Vitamin C Serum with the following formula;

Ingredients: aqua (distilled water), hydroxyethylcellulose, xanthan gum, rosa canina (rosehip) fruit powder extract, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) extract, vitamin C ester, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, colorant, parfum (fragrance), tetrasodium EDTA, pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid, thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin C ester, tocopherol (vitamin E), cobalamin (vitamin B12).

I was wondering if I can add 1% of Hylauronic acid to the formulation. Is there any risk of separation?

Thanks!!! L

Should be OK to add. Hyalauronic is water soluble and your formula is water based.

@Landmark,

Be very careful and use aseptic techniques when adding HA to your serum, or add an additional amount of preservative - the serum looks to be minimally preserved, and probably won’t react well to an infusion of microbes.
