Suggested final pH
pH guide coming soonpH guide coming soon.
Check the finished mixture
Measure after all ingredients, preservative and final water have been incorporated and the HA is fully hydrated. Use a calibrated pH meter suitable for the serum or cream, at room temperature.
If adjustment is needed, use a formula-compatible diluted pH adjuster in small, measured additions; mix and remeasure. Recheck after 24 hours at the same temperature. There is no fixed number of drops that works for every batch.
The target must fit every ingredient and the preservative. Reaching it does not establish safety or shelf life.
Confirm the target and adjuster compatibility before following the guide.
Before preparing this formula
- Source: owner-uploaded recipe cards, read 18 October 2026. Data transcribed into the Recipe Lab format.
- The card claims approximately 35% wrinkle-depth reduction at 10% SNAP-8 over 30 days and approximately 50% at 4% SYN-AKE in 28 days. It supplies no study references or exact tested ingredient forms. These are unverified source claims, not promised results.
- The card describes SNAP-8 effects as moderate-long and SYN-AKE effects as shorter, with high tolerance for SNAP-8 and possible transient stinging for SYN-AKE. These comparisons are not substantiated by the provided card.
- Percentages for a commercial ingredient solution cannot be interpreted as pure-peptide percentages.
- Source reference only: confirm exact material identity, active content, suitable use level, base compatibility and preservation before preparing a batch. The cards do not establish a tested shelf life.
