thanks for your Content

Thank you so much for the info so much very important much love

Thanks, that was very insightful and clear. So many people complain and get dissatisfied about HA, must be due to this couple of issues with high shear and temperature.👍🤩 I am adjusting some of my methods from now on.

Wow! This was very insightful, very detailed information. Thank you

Thank you so much..nice content..

Dropping some gems as usual... THANK U Miss Belinda for my requested video😊😊😊

Hi Belinda, Most recipes I see they include the HA in the heated water phase. Is that wrong and does it affect the formulation? Should we be adding in the cool down phase?

Thankyou for the insight 💖. By the way, i need to know about best non sticky feel polymers/thickeners for creams or gel serum? 😊

I’m adding a Hyaluronic acid solution to my lip balm formula (with an emulsifier) how do I add it? If it can’t be exposed to heat, do I need to add it to the balm formula when fully cooled?

Hi, thank you for the video, it was very informative! I have a question, I saw that in a formulation you made in another video where you guys talk about how to choose the best active you add the HA at the end right after you add the last phase ingredients (vitamin e and preservative) but then in another where you talk about how to formulate with you tool: Create Cosmetic Formulas, the formulation is a Hydrating and Moisturizing Serum, in this formula you add the HA right at the begining in phase A... How can I know when to add it, does it make any difference? I understand now that you cannot heat it but it is still not clear for me when you add it... Is it because in one formula (the first one) you need to heat the water phase to mix it with the heated oil phase and in the second video, you do not have to heat anything at all? is this the difference? In my case I need to heat the phases... I have tried to add it in the last phase after the emulsion is made but I feel that the HA does not mix together with the formula completely, don´t you need to hydrate the HA in order to add it first like it was a gum? If this is the case, can I save some water or glycerin from the water phase and hydrate the HA with it and then add it at the end of everything? Thank you so much for your help! :)

Just as I was thinking about so many questions about a couple formulations with HA (high molecular) and they got answered here, i used high shear with emulsification and now I know I have to add it afterwards :] I was wondering why it got so sticky and got a different texture and suspected the shear level, thanks Belinda :D By the way, if we're using it as a gelling agent, do you reckon it would be better on its own or does it function well with a gum like xanthan smooth? c:

I have a question, if a gel serum has Hyaluronic Acid, is it better to have the skin damp and then apply it or it won’t make a difference? For example, if my skin is dry and I don’t wet it a bit, then apply the H.A, it won’t make my skin drier? I’ve seen dermatologists saying to damp the skin for the H.A to work better and I have seen others say that it doesn’t matter, so I am confused. And thank you for this video! It really helps a lot!

Thank you very much for the information. I thought that low molecular weight HA was associated with skin irritation. My question: How would you mix the different weights of hyaluronic acid in a formula? (Asking for my Mom)

Good information, but I’m a little confused - have purchased from a number of suppliers, and they have all said it has good heat stability, & should be added during the water phase?

I used use the mixer to solubility the hiluronic acid powder, is it wrong? Because it may cause shear. Thanks from Brazil!

is it only good for cold emulsions if you shouldn't expose to heat? do I add to water phase?

You recommend no more than 0.5%, and so does a cosmetic supplier i use, but why do the most famous serums contain 2% ?
