Does anyone know how to make a matrixyl 3000 serum? TIA

10% matrixyl 3000 can be added to anything you already have on hand. It's water soluble, so anything other than oil would work... It can only be mixed with oil, if you have an emulsifier.

What do you have on hand as far as bases go? Do you already have any type of ready made serum you can add it too? Do you have any SKB? Do you want to incorporate any other actives with it? Do you have any base cream or lotion on hand?

Wow! Thanks for your help Kassy_A! As far as bases, I only have lotions. Can a lotion deliver as well as a serum? I do have SKB, but wouldn't that be a little sticky to add the matrixyl to that? I'd like to also had the oat beta glucan as an active and rasberry oil and pomegrant oil.

If you're willing to experiment a little try this;

60% lotion you have on hand (emulsifier is in it more than likely)
10% distilled water (will thin it down)
10% matrixyl 3000
10% SKB
10% divided for the 3 ingredients you mentioned

I would start by adding the 'oils' to the lotion separately, and then add the other ingredients one by one to that.

If you want it more serum like, just reverse the amounts for lotion (10%) + H2O (60%). You might have to adjust it, to incorporate the oils, if 10% isn't working!

ETA: If you have any Emu Oil laying around, a little of that will help boost absorption!

Thank you! I'll try it and see how it works.

Kassy,

I am no mathematician, can you tell me what =s 10% or 20% etc. as far as table measurements?

PM me the final quantity you want to make, and I'll work it out for you......I'd suggest just an ounce or 2, to make sure you like it.. Laughing
