Typically, l-ascorbic acid has a shelf life of 2 years whether or not is in powder form or crystals. L-ascorbic acid can oxidize over time and lose its activity.

I have clients that suffer of blemishes, hyperpigmentation in black woman and would love to see more videos with a combo of how to blend kojic acid, licorice, b3 in a serum or adding to an existing cream. I'd love to start sending them home with home routines. thank you!

Criminally underrated channel! Do DIY retinol next! Question: if I add a germicide like phenoxyethanol it wouldn't do a thing to its shelf life since its the oxidation of ascorbic acid in aqueous solution that is the limiter of effectiveness for this particular DIY, right? So about 10 days seems right AA to have oxidized 50%? Cheers!! pd: this type of channel can explode nowadays, just up the video game for competitiveness and you'll be golden

Thanks for the compliments. As for your question: it takes much longer than just 10 days until AA has oxidized 50%. To the best of my knowledge about 3 months. Phenoxyethanol should still be effective even AA starts oxidizing. A limiting factor could be a decreasing pH.

Yes, MAP works as well but l-ascorbic acid is more potent (has better antioxidant activity)

Thank you for sharing this gold receipt! What can i use to make it thicker? It's more pleasure if it is thicker... Thank you!😘

Thank you for your video. Is this a possibility? : jojoba, lascorbic acid(liquid), vit e, and georgard 221 ? whats the shelflife or how do i mix vitc into the jojoba? thank you so much again

Why not just use MAP? I have just purchased my second jar of it from you guys and it works great to even my skin. I add to it my finished lotion. Can I substitute that for the L ascrbic acid in this?

Quality content, thank you so much for educating us ❤

It's not specifically made to treat acne, but it contains a high amount of antioxidants which is good for acneic skin.

High-molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) does not readily dissolve in water and more than 2% will not dissolve. HA needs to be carefully sprinkled into the water under constant high-speed stirring (preferably with a hand mixer or vortex mixer). Typical concentration is at 0.1 - 2% of HA (1g of HA and 100ml of water). The mixture starts then thickening quickly and becomes a gel. At that point no additional HA can be added as there is no water left for HA to be dissolved in (additional HA would only form lumps).

nsana lush I did some research and it seems like we’ll have to replace the typical l ascorbic acid with ascorbyl palmitate which is fat soluble. And use that in anhydrous products like butters (not just oil cuz it’ll be unstable but I’m not giving up on a vit c oil recipe 😂)and emulsions for it to work like a water soluble vit c serum while hving a longer shelf life. So for now I’ll probably do both or just the vit c butter/cream with ascorbyl palmitate. I’ll leave the link: formulabotanica.com/best-form-vitamin-c-in-natural-skincare/ Hope it helps lol

Please would you confirm ... If I were to use Hyaluronic Acid powder and no glycerol then how much water and how much hyaluronic acid powder do I need to put in it to keep the 10% strength of the serum?

can one replace the water and used aloe vera juice instead? thanks

Having sensitive skin, I'm always careful about trying new skincare products. However, after hearing great things about littleexttera riceberry vit C serum, I decided to give it a shot. I've been using it for about 3 months now, and I'm very happy with the results. The serum has a mild formula that hasn't caused any redness on my sensitive skin. It is quickly absorbed and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and smooth. I've noticed improvements in the overall tone and texture of my skin-it looks more even and radiant. I use the serum every morning as part of my skincare routine, and it works beautifully under my rice berry sunscreen and makeup. The packaging is basic yet functional, though I do wish it gave more product per pump. Despite that small concern, I would suggest this serum to those with sensitive skin looking to add Vitamin C to their skincare routine. It's been a gentle yet powerful addition to my skincare regimen so far.

What is the most suitabl preservative can I add?

Thanks.

How much of the Ascorbic acid shud be added to the moisturiser instead of the serum..? Thank u!! And then shud it b used at night only..?

hello, if you add a preservative will it prolong shelf life??

Does it do the trick for the expensive products like La Roche and the like?

Does it work same way when it’s dissolved with propylene glycol alone to be used? And I have also observed that when I use any form of vit c on my skin I break out but not on my face . Please why is that?

Do I need to test the ph on this one? That is the thing that confuses me about making it at home. I don't really understand how to. Also, can you add this to other products ok? THanks so much for this video and detailed information in the description area. YES!

Hello Thanks for information when will use it day or night

can i make this serum with SAP ( sodium asc. phosp.) and asc. palmitate? and will be necessary the use or preservative? thank you !

Which type of emulsifier should I use if I added oil Plllz reply to me ❤❤❤ Thank you so much

Will it give same results as that of we bought from outside ??

how many mg of vitamin c product can i add to 1 liter of water? You said... about 50-100g of vitamin C per 1L of water. Is it safe to drink after the procedure?

Nice video!

Can we use 1-3 propanediol instead of water? Similar to the ordinary ingredients. While l ascorbic acid dilude in 1-3 propanediol?

i noticed that you weighed everything for the serum, but for mixing the vitamin c powder into the lotion you just mixed unmeasured amounts together. is there a guideline there, or does it just not matter for that method of delivery?

Also, I have L absorbic acid crystals that have been sitting around long enough that I cant read it anymore. Since they are just crystals that haven't turned into liquid are they are ok to use?

How to keep the shelf life, which preservative and percentage is best for vit C serum.

You can add hyaluronic acid, but not essential oils and vitamin E because these two ingredients are oil-soluble.

I need to purchase some more of this stuff. i ran out pretty quickly.lol thank you for the video demonstrations. i have a question, i have gone back and forth ordering from your website, and also amazon because it seems to ship faster. But i was wondering if the products you sell on amazon are the exact same as what you sell on your website? i only ask because your skin tight on amazon says its chicory root and the one on the video says its algea extract.

The products are the same on our website and Amazon. Just make sure you order our "vitamin c" for example, to get the same great quality. We offer two SkinTight products. One is Skintight AP ( Algae extract, pullulan, water, ethanol) and the other one is Skintight C-Root (Oligosccarides (sugars) obtained from chicory root (Cichorium intybus).

Yes, you can make this serum also with SAP and any other vitamins as long as it is water-soluble. If you want to preserve it we recommend to use phenoxyethanol-SA (www.makingcosmetics.com/Phenoxyethanol-SA_p_243.html) or also a natural antimicrobial (www.makingcosmetics.com/Natural-Antimicrobials_c_135.html)

But when you apply the mixture on your skin, vitamin C recrystallizes. Crystallized vitamin C can’t penetrate skin. And if it can’t do that, it won’t work as an antioxidant.

Hi, mi ascrbic acid is 99% pure, how much should I use?

You have not added ph adjuster.

does it need no preservative

If the entire water portion was replaced with glycerin would it last longer just using vitamin c and glycerin? Can Aloe vera juice be used to replace the water? And if so, does it destabilize as quickly? The serum in the video looks very thin, what can be used to thicken? Can this mixture be added to a base as an active ingredient? Thank you!

@Makingcosmetics

You can replace the water by glycerin. When added directly to the skin the glycerin will feel a bit tacky. You can also use it as a mix, and add few drops to a dose of moisturizer as an active, mix it in the palm of your hand and then apply to the skin. This way you apply it fresh and it not degrading. Aloe Vera contains water and will also degrade the vitamin c.

You could use xanthan gum (www.makingcosmetics.com/Xanthan-Gum-Prehydrated_p_316.html) as thickener. It needs to be sprinkled slowly into the water under constant high speed stirring.
