Primarily developed for the eye area. It has a very light, almost a mousse like texture. Tingly but not irritating, however everyone is different. The serum is based on a few studies.
Chrysin protects epidermal keratinocytes from UVA- and UVB-induced damage.The induction of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 mediated through a distal enhancer module by flavonoids and xenobiotics.

1. Set up equipment and weigh all actives first. Calibrate your pH meter.
3.a. Chrysin needs to go into solution with only just enough 1 N NaOH then is quickly added to the water phase.
3.b. Adjust pH to 6.3.
4. Place the water mix into the ultrasound cleaner. Slowly sprinkle in the egg lecithin while blending.
5. Warm the oils to 40 C and then combine in the beaker in the ultrasound cleaner.
6. Allow to cool, add Vitamin K and Phenoxyethanol.
This method will allow for the creation of liposomes. Egg lecithin allows for a stable emulsion and is exquisite for facial and eye care. It however does have a scent that is readily masked with various essential oils. Neroli and Frankincense are useful.
TEST the serum prior to use, or reduce the key potentially irritating actives. Retinol and Vitamin K and increase with tolerance.
*n.b. Lecithin may clump, this can be most readily avoided by sprinkling the powder into the water phase while blending at the same time. Should clumps occur, filtering the emulsion will result in the removal.
Chrysalis lends itself nicely to the addition of AHYP, as well as sclerotium gum. Using a sclerotium gum 1-2 % base , same can be done using hyaluronic acid , one can easily sub out up to half the Sea Emollient and create an even more silky serum. Make the appropriate adjustments using the batch size calculator.
