DIY Skin Care SEA Lab: SEAKinNiaNAG serum

SeaKiNiaNAG is based on the effective combination of 5% niacinamide/ vitamin B3 and N-acetyl-D glucosamine 2%. Kinetin is a potent antioxidant and signal peptide with anti aging benefits. The following is using lecithin as the emulsifier.

Another version of KinNiaNAG using Ewax can be found at Dempeaux.com KinNiaNAG with E wax
If you don't have the time or interest to DIY, another option : SeaKinNiaNAG Serum is available here.

*n.b. If you are using the SeaKNN kit, you will start at #3. Measure 0.3 grams of the solution. It is best to use a syringe. The Kit is pH adjusted to 5.6. You will not need citric acid. Follow the kit instructions and weights. The tutorial is the guide to help you, one ingredient has been added based on personal preference. The procedure remains the same.

SkinCare forum is available to ask and answer questions. SEA has been invited to participate at that venue.

1.a. Kinetin must first go into solution, to do so, you need 0.39 grams of NaOH [ sodium hydroxide] and 10 mls of distilled water. Place the NaOH in a glass or stainless steel container, then add the 10 mls of H20. This will cause the NaOH to give off noxious fumes. Don't breathe it . It will also generate heat. Keep this off to the side until it cools down.

1.b. As a 1 N NaOH solution was made previously, the solvent is ready for use. One less step.

2. Measure 0.03 grams of Kinetin into a small glass. Add sufficient amount to cover your crystals and stir. Set aside, and check periodically. Stir. It will go into solution.

3.a. Weigh and combine Niacinamide , NAG , Vitamin E acetate and H20 , stir until dissolved.

If using the SeaKNN kit, you will measure out 0.3 grams of the Kinetin 10% solution at this point and add to the B3/NAG/H20.

3.b. If using Dexpanthenol / glycerin, add that now. Stir until all is in solution.

4. Add Kinetin solution. Check the pH and adjust to pH 7.0

5. Add Sea emollient blend. Add your preservative and blend.

6. Oil/s of choice 10.50 grams and E- wax or Lecithin powder 2.20 grams combined, and heated till the lecithin melts in a double boiler.Alternatively, heat the oil.and slowly add lecithin while blending.
