Collagen creams are very popular nowadays, particularly for the fairer sex, as our skin is constantly battered by everyday stresses and urban pollution. These creams delay the aging process through collagen production and repair damaged skin caused by acne or laser hair removal.
This recipe from the Bulk Actives site is adapted from the formulation of Carol Demas, the author of Make Your Own Effective Cosmetic Treatments and Sunscreens. Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, an anionic, nonsulfated glycosaminoglycan that reduces fine lines and wrinkles while brightens
skin complexion. Hyaluronic acid is coupled with ferulic acid, which is an antioxidant and offers broad spectrum sun protection. For ferulic acid to be dissolved easily, fragrance grade dipropylene glycol is included as a solvent. Dipropylene glycol also benefits the recipe for its emollient property. Vitamins to nourish the skin are also added like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and tocopherol (Vitamin B). This recipe is specifically formulated for sensitive skin types.
Ingredients:
Phase A Weight (in %) For 100 gm./3.6 oz
