Hello Gabriella, We recommend arginine, which is an alkalizing agent, compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. Gradually add small amounts of arginine by thorough mixing to the prepared gel and measure the pH of the product until you reach the pH indicated in the recipe. Have a sunny day!

Hello Claudia, By eliminating essential oils, anti-cellulite gel can be used effectively with radiofrequency and ultrasound machines. Good luck!

Hello, You can use dermosoft complex 4% for the preservation of the composition. Regarding the pH value it is important that it does not exceed 5.5. If the prepared gel has a pH of 5-5.5, then it's ok. Have a nice day!

Hello! Pineapple powder is not an auxiliary ingredient, but you can practically eliminate it from the recipe. You can enrich the formula with red vine extract, no more than 10%. Adjust the dosage of plain water accordingly. Good luck!

Hello! Indeed the pineapple powder is not completely soluble, but the small fibers that remain undissolved are also removed from the skin upon massage application.
