Ascorbyl Glucoside Serum Formula

Phase A


Phase B


Phase C


Directions;

  • In a heat safe container combine all ingredients in phase A and mix until dissolved.

  • In a separate sanitized container combine all ingredients in phase B and mix.

  • Pour phase B into Phase A while mixing.

  • In another sanitized container combine all ingredients in phase C and mix then pour into phase A/B and mix until everything is well combined and smooth.

  • Natural pH was 2.93 and I raised the pH to 5.5 using Triethanolamine. But in order to keep your Ecocert compliant you can use a pH buffer solution of 10% Sodium Hydroxide dissolved in 90% distilled water. Learn how to create a pH buffer solution and raise the pH HERE.

  • I used this bottle to store my serum. Since Ascorbyl Glucoside is not light or oxygen sensitive you don’t need to use a dark bottle or an airless pump.



How to use Serum;

Massage on to clean dry skin, let dry and follow with your moisturizer. Use AM & PM for best results.


Final thoughts: 

I really like this vitamin C ester. It’s super easy to formulate with, other than having to raise the pH. I also love that it has research to back up it’s claims and it’s popular in K Beauty and J Beauty Skincare. Also since it’s Ecocert that makes it even better. Definitely recommend trying it. Just be sure you raise the pH or you will burn your skin.
