I've decided after going crazy trying to find exaclty that maybe I will try doing it myself.

I also thought since I like the look of the ingredients in this serum which has 3% MAP maybe I could add more MAP to make it 10%. How would I know how much to add? Could I add Vitamin E as well? These are the ingredients. It's the Skinactives CHAS serum:

Ingredients
Organic aloe vera juice, sea kelp bioferment, pomegranate extract, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, niacinamide, carnosine, carnitine, tetrahydrocurcuminoids, ferulic acid, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid, hesperidin methyl chalcone, lycopene, glutathione, glutaredoxin, superoxide dismutase, phenoxyethanol (and) methylparaben (and) isopropylparaben (and) isobutylparaben (and) butylparaben.

Thanks!

I'd suggest some additional research on the optimum MAP percentage. From what I've learned, 10% MAP is well beyond the recommended percentages for this ingredient. I believe 5% is considered to be the upper range of MAP in a solution.

Use: Add at the end of the formulation process just before the preservative, by pre-dissolving in little distilled water, usual concentration 0.2-3%.
