2. Take 0.9g of Carbomer 940 and dissolve it evenly with 48.2g of deionized water, so that the Carbomer completely absorbs water and swells without agglomeration or agglomeration, which is marked as component B.

3. Mix A and B fully to react, stir well, and the gel part is ready. It is sufficient to add specific serum when using. If you want to make a different gel serum, you can add other necessary ingredients to solution A, simply replace a part of the water. If 4% of a certain ingredient is added, then 4% of the water is cut off when preparing solution A, which means only 44g.
