Have you tried DIY Vit C? I made one a few days ago ( followed one of Kassy's simplest recipes EXACTLY) and burnt my skin |
Just in case you didn't see my answer in the other thread, I'll cross post it here for ya;

I've made a very simple Vit C serum and it has burned my skin. This is the recipe I was following:
1 tsp LAA
3 tsp distilled water
1 tsp aloe vera gel
1/4 tsp Jojoba oil
step1: LAA + slightly warm water = mix until the crystals are dissolved
step2: Aloe + jojoba = mix
step3: mix the two mixes
I then put the mixture in the fridge.
What possibly went wrong .. What caused the burn? |
The 'burn' is because you didn't use enough liquid, to accomodate the 1 tsp of L-AA.
To have a 15% concentration you must put 1 tsp of L-AA into just about 6 tsp of liquid (1oz).
Math is my weakness, but your formula looks to be in the neighborhood of a 25(ish) % concentration (4 1/4 tsp of fluid, based on what you wrote) |
Just for the record, that's not even close to the recipe I posted though |
