  Please help! Uncertain about serum formulation (for acneic skin)

  Posted by Wickers on July 15, 2020 at 5:25 am

  Hi everyone! I am trying to formulate a water-based serum for my acneic/oily/dehydrated skin. 

  This serum is meant to encourage certain chains on skin bacteria to ferment naturally-occurring glycerol in the skin into SCFA, which in vitro has shown to kill P. acnes. 

  I included some plant ferments, lysates, prebiotics, and other by-products of fermentation that might encourage a healthier microbiome. 

  Deionised water (28.35%)

  MC-Glucan (9%)

  Dimethyl Isosorbide (9%)

  Lactococcus Ferment Lysate (9%)

  Ophiopogon Japonicus root extract (7%)

  Inulin (6%)

  [Fructooligosaccharides, Beet root extract, Water] (4%)

  Amber Extract (4%)

  Leucidal Liquid (4%)

  ProBioBalance [water, milk proteins, bifida ferment lysate] (4%)

  ECOSKIN [alpha-glucan oligosaccharides, P.S. root juice, maltodextrin, lactobacillus] (4%)

  Gluconolactone (3%)

  Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein (3%)

  Bio Chelate [water, saccharomyces zinc, saccharomyces copper, saccharomyces magnesium, saccharomyces Magnesium, saccharomyces Iron, saccharomyces Silicon] (2%)

  Hydrolyzed hemp protein (2%)

  Sucrose (1%)

  Sodium Phytate (0.5%)

  Silverion [silver citrate, citric acid] (0.15%) 

  Please help! Am I missing anything? Preservatives OK? Chelators (sodium phytate OK)?

  Thank you for all your help!
