Pure #LAscorbicAcid (the most common form of #VitaminC in skincare) works best at a low pH (around 3.0 to 3.5). But there’s a challenge—Vitamin C is quite sensitive! It can degrade when exposed to air, light, and heat, losing its effectiveness quickly. Mixing it with other active ingredients, like certain acids, can speed up this process if it’s not properly stabilized. Looking for more flexibility in your formulations? Especially for those with #SensitiveSkin or if you need to keep a neutral pH? Check out these stable Vitamin C derivatives: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP): Stable at a higher pH (6-7), SAP may be less potent than pure L-ascorbic acid but still delivers great #Antioxidant benefits. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP): Also stable at a higher pH, MAP is a gentler option—perfect for reducing irritation. These derivatives give you more freedom to work with Vitamin C without the worry of it breaking down, plus they mix well with other ingredients. #SkincareScience #CosmeticFormulation #SkinCareTips #NaturalBeauty #BeautyProducts #SkincareIngredients #CleanBeauty

𝟲𝟰% of our clients have never tried lash extensions before! The current US market for eyelash extension services is 💲𝟰.𝟲 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻, and of course we are wondering if we can expand that market by elevating the experience to a new level. At our Ulta Beauty pilot, we've been finding that a large majority of our clients are those that have been sitting on the sidelines until now. 64% say that they've never tried it before. Expand we will. We're in the largest unstudied market you'll ever find. In fact, though the services side of the business in the US is at least $4.6B, you'll never find a study on the services side of the market. What you'll find is a bunch of studies on the market for artificial eyelashes: the products like strip lashes, cluster lashes, etc. that are sold in beauty supply stores and drug stores. That $1.8B product market includes the extensions that are used in the service we provide, but the extensions themselves only represent about $2 of a $200 service! I have potential investors tell me all the time they think that our market is $1.8B because of the bad terminology used in these reports, and I get frustrated. However, then I remember that this is just another reason that technologists completely ignored this jewel of a market before we arrived. 🤣😂🤣 #beauty #machinelearning #technology #robotics #startup #Robots #angelinvesting #artificialintelligence #chatgpt

Indie Beauty Brands! July 1, 2024 Is Fast Approaching! If you are selling cosmetic products in the US - ARE YOU MoCRA COMPLIANT? (1) The FDA will commence enforcement of the Cosmetic Product Registration and Facility Registration mandates of MoCRA on July 1, 2024. (2) The FDA is slated by June 29, 2024 to publish its proposed list of Fragrance Allergens that must appear on your product labels by December 29, 2024. (3) Walmart is now requiring proof of MoCRA compliance for cosmetic products to be sold in their stores and website. Other cosmetic product retailers are almost certain to follow Walmart's lead as a liability mitigation strategy. Retailers do not want to be part of the liability chain of companies selling cosmetic products that are not MoCRA compliant, particularly on Safety Substantiation. We provide a comprehensive range of MoCRA compliance services to cosmetic firms and contract manufacturers, both domestic and non US-based, from complete outsourced MoCRA Compliance Officer to individual services to meet your MoCRA compliance needs including: - US Agent (for non US-based cosmetics companies) - Cosmetic Product Registration - Cosmetic Facility Registration (obtain an FEI and register your facility) - Cosmetic Product Safety Substantiation > Preservative Challenge Testing > Cosmetic Ingredient Safety Report modeled on EU CPSR - Adverse Event & Serious Adverse Event Standard Operating Procedure & Reporting - Cosmetic Product Label Review We can ensure you are in full compliance with MoCRA!

Uneven skin tone and dark spots can affect anyone, but understanding the causes and solutions can help you achieve a more radiant complexion. Dark spots and discoloration often occur due to overexposure to the sun, acne scars, and even hormonal changes. These factors increase melanin production in certain areas, leading to an uneven skin tone. But nature offers a powerful solution—Dead Sea minerals. Packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, Dead Sea minerals help detoxify and exfoliate the skin, promoting a balanced, even skin tone. They work by accelerating skin cell renewal and reducing hyperpigmentation, giving you a brighter, more uniform complexion. Unlock the secret to smoother, more radiant skin with the healing power of nature. www.rivagecare.com #SkinBrightening #EvenSkinTone #DarkSpotTreatment #DeadSeaMinerals #RadiantSkin #GlowingSkin #SkinCareRoutine #NaturalSkincare #Hyperpigmentation
