1. Sanitization: Ensure all mixing tools and containers are sterilized.

2. Measurement: Weigh the required amount of Face Serum Base 92.

3. Incorporate Actives: Add your concentrated actives (e.g., 2% Niacinamide, 1% Hyaluronic Acid, etc.).

4. Scenting: If desired, add water-soluble fragrance or essential oils (Recommended: 0.1% to 0.5%).

5. Blending: Stir gently using a glass rod or low-speed mixer. Avoid vigorous shaking to prevent air bubbles from clouding the serum.

6. Final Check: Verify the clarity and pH. If the actives have shifted the pH significantly, adjust back to 5.5 using a dilute citric acid solution.

7. Bottling: Fill into glass dropper bottles or airless pumps.
