This light weighted serum is a very lovely good summer product. The Idea was inspired from my tropical trip to Thailand where coconut water and oil are widely use for their refreshing hydrating and highly moisturizing properties, and of course the added papaya extract provides lightening and soothing effect for your delicate skin.
In here we are using MCT oil, which is medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil, it has the same scientific name of Fractionated coconut oil (Capric /Caprylic Triglycerides) but it is not the same, MCT oil is an ester rather than normal oil and it has low comedogenicity profile for oily skin. substitution with fractionated coconut oil is ok though
Sodium Alginate, our thickening agent in this recipe is derived from seaweed, Sodium Alginate has been used in the medical field, in the food industry, and more recently in cosmetics as a skincare ingredient. Sodium Alginate is used as a thickener, gelling agent, stabilizer and emulsifier.Sodium Alginate also helps to hydrate, soothe, and soften skin.
I am quietly sure you will love this product experience, so come on, grab your ingredients and lets make it with a lot of fun :)
