Hello! You can use Vitamin C MAP, about 1.5 gr, and in this case remove the bamboo powder so that the composition is not too alkaline.

Unfortunately I only have vit C MAP and ascorbyl palmitate...can it be replaced ?

Hello. Bamboo sap powder imparts an alkaline effect that balances the acidity of vitamin C. We do not have a substitute ingredient in our product range.

Hello, can bamboo sap powder be replaced? If so, what do you recommend and how much. Thank you.

Hello Alexandra. In principle, using Cosgard preservative at 0.8% can preserve the composition for at least 1 month, but the formula contains vitamin C ascorbic acid (also from jujube powder), which loses its effectiveness in a relatively short time.

Hello, If instead of plain water I add aloe vera juice and conserve the composition, do you think I can use the product within 1-3 months?

Hello, We are glad that you are happy with both the products and the responses. Regarding your request, we recommend that you try formula AP3722/2013, an exfoliating, purifying gel. The exfoliating solution can be applied in the evening or in the morning. If you apply it in the morning, then after about 10-15 minutes you can use your suggested day cream. Follow the directions in the recipe: how to prepare, application, etc. Another exfoliating serum you can use is the one in the formula AP35410/2013. We also suggest trying a purifying, absorbing (on the T-zone), soothing, nourishing and vitaminizing mask. You can take inspiration from the formulas: FTB06246/2011, FTB145/2011, 704122/2012.

Hello. First of all thank you for your advice. The recommended products are excellent. Now I would also like you to recommend an exfoliating mask or two. After using this mask can I use my face cream - 30+ hyaluron - or do I need a moisturizing mask? If it is necessary what moisturizing masks do you recommend? I have combination skin and 38 years old. Thanks

G.Krisztina, It is more appropriate to use this mask freshly prepared, but it can be preserved with cosgard - 0.6%.

Dear Elemental! Is it possible to use one of the available products to preserve this mask? Thank you for your answer!

adelina, Green tea extract is a cosmetic active, not used as such on the skin.

I would like to ask if green tea extract can be used simply for the eye area. Or do you need to add some vegetable oil? Thank you!

Raluca, As I said in my previous comment, hyaluronic acid cannot be added to compositions made with oils, whether vegetable or essential.

Elemental, Hello, thank you for your answer. The facial serum I am creating is composed of a blend of essential oils incorporated in apricot kernel oil as a base. In this case could I add hyaluronic acid powder? Would it be effective, would it dissolve? Thank you again, Raluca

Raluca, Hello, Hyaluronic acid, as you may have noticed, is water soluble. It cannot be incorporated into exclusively oily compositions. There is no fat-soluble hyaluronic acid. It is not recommended to use a facial serum composed exclusively of essential oils; they must be diluted in vegetable oil. Find some oily serums to inspire you in our recipe. Have a nice day!

Good evening I would like to incorporate hyaluronic acid in a facial serum composed of an exclusive blend of essential oils. Is this possible? Reading, I saw that hyaluronic acid is only soluble in water. What do you recommend? Or are there oil soluble forms of hyaluronic acid? Thank you in advance Raluca

Elemental, Thank you very much!

Gabriela Cara, I forgot to mention that I have a combination, mature complexion with a slight couperose.

I ordered from you several cosmetic ingredients and preparation utensils for some creams and serums. Maybe you can help me to find something useful for enlarged pores, from what I have read on your site, I have not found anything related to this aspect. I don't know with what ingredients I could prepare a mask to help me. Thank you! I congratulate you for what you offer!

alexandra, You can basically replace the ingredients in masks without any problems. Choose them according to the properties and condition of the complexion.
