.01% to .10% ; takes a little bit to go into soln, unless you got the aq version, so in teaspoons, I guess it’s like the very very tip of the spoon like a grain on sand haha
-
no not .10% …. 1% or 2% solution?
-
Im saying in your formula .01%-.10% w/w
-
ok..it’s just when you said a grain of sand I figured you meant less … I put a 1/8 of a tsp in 1 oz …we’ll see what that gives

This clearly demonstrates why volumetric measurements (tsps, ounces) are flawed and not used by serious Formulators. Use wt/wt% and you won’t have this issue.

Small scales are very cheap, there is no reason not to use one and every reason why you should.

Exactly what he just said ^^^^

Hyaluronic Acid at !% is going to be quite viscous and at 2% will be so viscous that you won’t be able to pull it out of the bottle with a dropper. And, it is quite expensive. HA at 0.7% will give you a nice serum.
If you want to increase the amount of HA, use Cassia Angustifolia Extract … Hyalsmooth from BASF which is water thin at 1.3% with 0.7% HA powder. That will give you a nice serum.
But, you must measure with a scale … the “tip of a spoon” is fine if you are making it for your own use and you really don’t care exactly what % your using.

I’ve been testing with Hyalurosmooth for a while, in a gel at 3%. Not impressed.
