1. Combine Distilled Water, dl-Panthenol and Leucidal Liquid and stir until dl-Panthenol is fully dissolved.
2. Sprinkle Hyaluronic Acid on surface of water and mix well with paddle mixer until mixture is smooth and evenly hydrated (this can take up to 45 minutes). Alternately, you can sprinkle the Hyaluronic Acid on top of the water, mix it in and let it sit for up to 3 hours to fully hydrate and then mix it again until the mixture is thick and of a uniform consistency. With either method, white clumps or streaks of Hyaluronic Acid powder will disappear and the mixture will thicken when it is fully hydrated.
Makes approximately 100 grams or 3.5 ounces of serum.
INCI: Water, Panthenol, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Sodium Hyaluronate
