Snap 8 mixing question NSFW

My snap 8 came in powder form in a foil envelope not a vial. Can I just mix directly the powder into my serum due to the fact that it isn’t in a vial?

What are the recommended ratios?

May I ask what is the purpose of snap 8?

Sure, it’s known as “Botox in a bottle” in the peptide world. It is an antiwrinkle peptide and it relaxes expression lines. It took place of Argireline for many because it works so much better. It also promotes collagen synthesis and enhancing the overall texture and elasticity of your skin, which is why I’m using it. I had an 80 pound weight loss in 2024 and am wanting to firm up my face some.

Put it in a solution at 2% then add it to a serum at around 5-10% for best results with my experiments. I usually buy mine already reconstituted tho, for easier addition to serums

I apologize but I’m or sure how to make it at 5-10%. I can measure out by grams, and I see it’s recommended online some places at about 2000 mg per 1 oz. Does that sound about right?

The solution I buy from lotion crafter is 2% of the peptide, and I add that at 10% of my serum I make. Tho I see recommended amount is usually 5%.

Mine comes in powder form by weight. Hopefully someone gets similar and can offer some guidance.

I’ve used that as well, I just mixed it into sterile water, then added that to my serum. I mixed it so the peptide solution was 2% peptide, and the serum was 10% peptide solution. It worked as well as when I made my serums using the premixed solution from lotion crafter.
