Hello everyone.
I am very inexperienced towards DIY skincare.. The only DIY products I have ever concocted were carekate's ACV toner and the Aspirin Mask. With the results I have seen in only a week on my Son's skin I must say that I am truly impressed. I really do believe that there is just too much crap in really expensive products.
Anyways,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me the best way to produce an eye cream that contains around 10% Haloxyl (sold on tpf.com). I am very eager to try Haloxyl as it seems that it is being published as the dark circle eraser. (only eyebright has more coverage than haloxyl).
Anyways, if anyone that is a guru or is experience in DIY could tell me how to make an eye cream that incorporates haloxyl at about 10% forumulation that would be wonderful! Thank you soooo much. |

Hello Parentsaver, I have this very very simple recipe to offer. Because I formulate using an Excel spreadsheet and a digital scale (very very cheap off Ebay), my recipes are very precise and don't work in spoonfuls, drops or cups.
Haloxyl is so easy to work with. For 30g of simple DIY eye cream:
Your favourite plain base cream (I use Canvas from skinactives) 70% 21g
Haloxyl 10% 3g
Your favourite oil (I use red raspberry seed oil/rosehip seed oil/ jojoba oil/ squalAne - all available from gardenofwisdom) 10% 3g
Aloe vera gel or seakelp bioferment (herbarie) 10% 3g
Please note when you are dispensing in such small amounts, it is best to use a dropper. On a digital scale, you will see that it is only a matter of drops before you get to 3g!
There are no phases to this, just measure and mix in the one container. I personally find these proportions about right for under eyes, but then skin is so personal. If you find it too drying, just add more oil, or conversely if it is too greasy, just add more base cream or aloe vera or seakelp.
Alternatively, you may choose to apportion ingredients using a set of measuring spoons. I don't like this because of it's lack of precision. You also wind up making more than you would have to, particularly with eyecreams.
The advantage of DIY is you can make up small portions with fresh (and therefore more potent) active ingredients, which you use up within 2 months or so, and then move on to other recipes.
This is the beauty of DIY. Please let me know if this was helpful, or if I can be of anymore assistance. |
