How to add Hyaluronic Acid
Hello, I am incorporating Hyaluronic Acid in a face cream but am struggling with it. I have pre-mixed it with water but it goes all gloopy and then won’t blend with the rest of the formula.
Any tips please? Thanks.

Why don’t you just add it directly to the main formula? How much are you adding?

It’s in powder form. Can I just sprinkle it on then? I am adding 0.5%.

I make a 1% solution and just keep a bunch on hand….and add as needed to formulas. It usually takes a few hours to hydrate properly. Since I am storing it (in the fridge)… I also add Optiphen to that solution. When it is time to make a recipe…I use the 1% solution in lieu of some of the water…depending on the formula. My HA….always looks awesome…12 hours after making it. Right after making it….not so much.

So can I just mix it with some water and keep it in the fridge?

It can be a bad batch/supplier. I’ve never had problems mixing it.

Yes…however, note I said with preservative (Optiphen or others).
