  • HA and peptide serum separating

    Hi all, i’ve been using this formulation and i notice that after about 5 minutes the serum starts separating and has a water layer at the bottom with a froth-like white layer on the top. I also don’t know why this serum is white as opposed to the typical clear HA serums.

    What’s with all those hyaluronate species? Must be one helluva’ hyaluronic salesperson calling on you there. You need to be more specific in your composition. Is that “PGA” polyglutamic acid? If so it is redundant with those many HA’s. What is meant by “betaine”? If it is true betaine (trimethylglycine) that may be your problem as it may be complexing with that HA crosspolymer. Remember “less is more” as Buckminster Fuller said.

    What is the process you used to make this, what is the batch size and the tools used?
