Oil & water are generally not a good combination in skincare, but Rainne Skincare has been able to take the active ingredients we use i.e. salicylic acid & niacinamide, that normally in the skincare industry are dissolved in distilled water and we have found a medium that is NOT water based to dissolve these ingredients that works very well with essential & carrier oils.
Water-based carriers are more vulnerable to bacteria, so they have shorter shelf lives than other products and therefore need extra preservative ingredients for protection. They also have extra ingredients to pitch the pH up and down to achieve the correct pH for its intended purpose otherwise the formulation will not be effective. This is why you will see a myriad of ingredients in water based products.
What is pH? pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in an aqueous(water) solution. There is no water in our oil, therefore no free hydrogen ions, therefore no pH.
We are therefore able to provide skincare products with fantastic benefits from only
6/7 powerful & effective ingredients. The active ingredient in our products DO SEPARATE from the carrier & essential oils but a quick vigorous shake before use and the serum is ready for action.
