How to make Skin Brightening vitamin C Serum at home?

We have often heard just two types of serums (Oil-based and Water-based). But, did you know there are 5 types of facial serums. Let us take you through them:

1. Oil Based Serum

This is the easiest formulation which mainly comprises of cold-pressed oils, essential oils and botanical extracts. Best of all? This type of formulation does not need a preservative because it does not contain water. A serum will provide moisturizing and barrier strengthening properties to the skin, as well as offering antioxidant properties.

2. Gel Based Serum

The biggest challenge of making a gel serum will be to find the right thickness and consistency so that you can dispense the serum properly. Gel serums impart that ‘tightening’ feeling on the skin and allow your customer to feel that their skin is being temporarily lifted or tightened in certain areas of the face. Because this formulation is water-based, the gel serum gives you the opportunity to incorporate some wonderful water-based (hydrophilic) botanical extracts.

3. Water Based Serum

Water-based serums are similar to gel serums, although will contain fewer gums and thickeners (or none at all!). A facial serum will contain a foundation that consists of water-based ingredients such as hydrosols which can have soothing, skin toning and balancing properties.

4. Emulsion Based Serum

A facial serum that consists of an emulsion is a moisturizer which delivers high performance ingredients into the skin, as well as acting to strengthen the skin’s barrier function. An emulsion has the greatest potential for delivering high performance actives deep down into the skin’s tissues

5. Balm Based Serum

A balm serum has a typical balm foundation, consisting of butters, waxes and oils, but then contains oil-soluble (lipophilic) active ingredients that can offer benefits to the skin. The butters and waxes create an occlusive layer on the skin which moisturizes and nourishes, whilst giving the active ingredients of the pressed serum the opportunity to work their magic on the skin.
