In April 2017, we offered a limited run of our Hyaluronic Acid Serum with EGF as a Bonus and we received tons of great feedback. Although we are unable to add this to our line-up of great products, we think you’ll find that it’s super easy to make for yourself! If you are just looking for an anti-aging product that contains both Hyaluronic Acid and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), then we still recommend our Collagen Serum. Collagen Serum is our best anti-aging product and contains these ingredients and many more to help promote healthy skin. However, those of you who are looking for a light, water-based moisturizing serum with some added benefits should look no further. All of…

What did I learn from my mother that I apply in my work? What did I learn as a scientist that I apply in my work? The same thing expressed in different words. From my mother 9and my aunts, all great cooks): for a cake to be good has to have good ingredients in it. It is more important than “presentation”.

From my work as a scientists: what matter is the quality of the data, not how colorful the slides…

I made 100 grams of she butter “mousse” like this. I added 50 grams of refined shea butter into a plastic cup compatible with my electric beater with the whip attachment.

Took a long bath (this is important for the success of the recipe!). When I came out it was still liquid. When it started to thicken I used the whip attachment and whipped the mix. If nothing happens, let it cool a bit…

Forum user Donna has found a great alternative way to use her SAS products. Ingredients: 2/3 part SAS Sea Kelp 1/3 part SAS Canvas Base Cream Usage: Mix the Sea Kelp and Canvas in the appropriate ratios until a gel-like consistency is achieved. Apply and use cotton wool or a towel to remove. Rinse well. If there is some make-up left-over, try some Every Lipid Serum (it will strengthen skin and eyelashes).
