How to use it
Beginner: Add up to half a tube to 4 oz of your favorite base cream or water-based formula.
Advanced: This ingredient is recommended for use at up to 1.5% in formulations. The full 1.5% will form a very thick gel, so less is recommended to acheive a more usable product. For best results, add the powder to room temperature distilled water and allow to hydrate overnight. Once hydrated, mix the solution with a hand mixer and add preservative. This gel can be used as a base serum or added to an emulsion at room temperature.
