For 5+ years, Juice Beauty's research and development team, led by founder Karen Behnke, embarked on a scientific journey to achieve a seemingly impossible mission: high-dosage Vitamin C products that adhered to Juice Beauty's stringent standards.
The Hurdle: Balancing Efficacy with Organic Ingredients
The primary challenge for our R&D team was Vitamin C’s oxidation. Traditional formulas often rely on chemical emulsifiers and synthetic dyes, which compromise Juice Beauty's commitment to 70%+ organic content. During this process, all our development attempts resulted in rapid oxidation, rendering the Vitamin C ineffective.
Overcoming Instability: A Race Against Time
To maintain the potency of our new moisturizer, our R&D team rigorously researched various derivatives of Vitamin C. After extensive testing, we selected 3-O-ethyl Ascorbic Acid due to its superior stability, ensuring that our product remains effective from the first application to the last.
The Sensorial Twist: Whipped Luxury without Compromise
The quest for a luxurious, whipped texture presented another hurdle. Juice Beauty ditches many ingredients, including petroleum glycols, silicones, and dimethicones, which are commonly used in beauty products as solvents, thickeners, softeners, and moisture carriers. Multiple attempts were made to get the texture to stand up whipped, which was challenging with our juice base and avoidance of petroleum glycols. Months of experimentation with plant waxes and novel ingredients finally yielded a formulation that achieved the desired texture while maintaining whipped squeeze functionality.
The Birth of a Star
The Meticulous Balancing Act
Formulating a high-performance product with our Bio70+ complex requires a delicate balance. Our R&D team meticulously evaluated each ingredient, ensuring optimal performance of our proprietary 20% Vitamin C Niacinamide Glow Complex. We wanted to ensure this formula hits all our targets - including long-lasting hydration. While we now had our glow and texture evening complex in our formula, we had very little wiggle room to increase emollients that would bring hydration to the skin. After a rigorous search, our team found a plant-based hydration source - wild rosella, clinically proven to increase skin hydration for up to 72 hours.
Star-piping sustainable packaging:
While perfecting our formula, we also looked for innovative packaging inspired by whipped goods. We designed our custom star-shaped packaging – “SuperStar Whipper,” and finally delivered the desired performance.
Now, everyone can feel like a "star" using our C-Boost72 Hydrating Whipped Cream. It's a reminder that achieving your skincare goals can feel like reaching for the stars, but with Juice Beauty by your side, it's a dream within reach.
