What's Do It Yourself (DIY) Skin Care?

DIY Skin Care is an emerging trend in the beauty world where consumers are taking control of their skin care regimen and are making their own home-based recipes of skincare products by combining scientifically proven active ingredients inside creams. DIY presents an opportunity to create affordable beauty products at your home and to try different ingredients to arrive at recipes that are the most optimal for your skin needs. You can use DIY to simply copy well-known, expensive creams and make your own cheaper home version, or to combine your favorite cream with an ingredient that you've found to be beneficial.

Directions For Use:
Each tube is enough for 4 fl oz of cream or lotion at just under 5% concentration (5g in 120 mL cream). Do not use at a stronger concentration. Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream or a Sea Kelp Bioferment base. Kojic Acid Dipalmitate dissolves in Canvas Base Cream much better than the basic kojic acid, is more stable, and does not discolor. Protect your Kojic Acid Dipalmitate from light, as it is photosensitive.
