  Ascorbic acid solution creates white cast

  Posted by GMP on April 26, 2023 at 4:33 am

  I have been formulating a 15% Ascorbic acid solution with no issues for personal use.

  I use

  A :Propylene glycol : 10%

  A: Ferulic acid 0.5%

  A: hyaluronic 1% stock : 15%

  A: aqua: 34.7%

  A: d-l panthenol: 0.5%

  B: ethoxydiglycol : 15%

  B: mixed tocopherol: 1%

  B: Laureth23: 3%

  C: Lascorbic acid : 15%

  C: liquid germall: 0.3%

  I’m not sure why, but lately when I have been making it, there is a white cast that forms when it dries.

  Why is this happening?

  Like anyone else would do…. do a couple of knock outs.

  I’d start with dl Panth, and follow it up with the HA.

  Good luck.
