The skins pH is between 4.5 and 6. If the acid needs to be at a low pH then the final pH of the product will be 3?. Is that correct?

Hi Belinda I tried making acid (lactic and salicylic) serum, using xanthan gum as a thicker. Unfortunately I find xanthan gum really tacky and unpleasant on the skin. What else natural thickeners would you suggest to thicken up acids and would feel nice, smooth and non tacky on the skin. You mentioned sclerotium gum… how is the skin feeling for that specific gum? Thank you

Sclerotium gum is not very tacky at all, it feels really good and can handle a low pH, you will just need a lot more of it to build viscosity. You will find a variety of choices in this workshop: Can I use a different gum: personalcarescience.com.au/Workshops/GumsandPolymerworkshop-4187/ :)

How about when I buy the liquid form of glycolic ? Is the measurement same?

Liquid form would already be a solution so measurement would not be the same.

To have a bioavailability of approx. 1% the final pH needs to be around 3. You only need a small amount when it is bioavailable; conversely even if you had 10% at pH of 5, it would be doing nothing.

Ma'am, A Question came to my mind. Please suggest. As you mentioned below pH 3 Salicylic acid bioavailability is 50%. So absorption by skin will be up to 50%. So, In case of shampoo 2% salicylic acid in pH range 4.5 to 5.5 skin range the salicylic acid won't work as an anti dandruff??? E.x. I have seen famous brand shampoo with salicylic acid anti dandruff shampoo claim. Also few natural Preservatives containing salicylic acid won't Preserve the formulation when formulating in pH range of 4.5 to 5.5 ??? Thank you Thank you

Can acids be used in clay mask based products upto 5%, specially glycolic acid? What would be the factors which need to be taken care of?
@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401
4 жыл бұрын
Stability would be one factor you'd need to formulate to because you need to keep the pH low, you would need to make sure that all other materials are stable at a low pH and chosen to stabilise the very large clay particles at that low pH. We can consult on this for you as a formulation review (if you have the formula almost ready): personalcarescience.com.au/Advice/cosmeticformulation,brandadvice-797/ or develop the whole product for you from scratch: personalcarescience.com.au/userfiles/files/Formulation%20Development%20Brochure.pdf Hope this helps!

Should i add preservative if the ph 3 or 3.5? Mine gel is still 3.5 after few days with xanthum gum and glycolic acid?

Yes, where the pH is >3 you will still need preservative - broad spectrum - to protect the formula and consumers during use.

Hi Lorisa this is actually one of the biggest problems in this industry - the more is better concept isn't always true, and especially not with acids. First, there are regulatory issues with adding more acids in some cases/some countries. The bigger issue is with the final pH. If you add more acid (if you're allowed from a regulatory standpoint) it just makes it more acid - but if you go much below a pH of 2.85 it become very dangerous to the skin. So what would you do - adjust pH up? If you do that, you are just making a salt out of the acid. ie Acid + Base = salt. So it defeats the purpose. In other words, if you add a suitable amount of acid that is allowed (regulations) and brings your pH down to 3 - 3.5, then it will perform its skin renewal purpose. Adding more acid means extra cost; but it also just means you need to add more base, which means you are just making salt without benefit to the product. I hope this helps. My bigger concern is about ensuring safety though, even without just making expensive salt in the finished product.
