Thank you. I am certain I used to take the tablets to prevent heavy bleeding. I see that we do not have it available here for formulating, so Azelaic acid then! Thank you!

I'm interested in the TXA! I was surprised to see this on the list! I'm a Critical Care Paramedic and we actually use this as a medication to stop major hemorrhaging! I had no idea it had other important benefits!!

I use transeximic acid to stop my months long bleeding and no way would I ever take it for anything else. It does so much bad to the body. I can't imagine using it for a beauty ingredient

👩🔬Time to open up the lab for a little ingredient exploration again!
There are a few actives I’ve never Formulated with...

✨ Azelaic Acid
✨ Mandelic Acid
Drop your vote below, which one do you want me to deep dive into next? 🧪
✨Tranexamic Acid
treats uneven skin tone
helps treat melasma or stubborn dark spots
helps create a more overall brighter complexion.
Skin type:
Generally okay for all skin types, including sensitive skin, but could cause dryness for some. But should be okay for most people.
✨Azelaic Acid
Can help clear Acne by killing acne causing bacteria.
Can help treat Redness prone or rosacea prone skin
Can help with uneven skintone or mild hyperpigmentation
Skin type:
Great for sensitive, combination, and acne-prone skin. It shouldn't be irritating like glycolic or lactic acid although some people may experience mild dryness or tingling/burning/stinging.
✨Mandelic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. It penetrates the skin more slowly and is more gentle on the skin due to it's larger structure. It doesn't penetrate the skin as much as glycolic or lactic acid.

Brighten dull skin. Make an overall more brighter complexion.

Great for sensitive skin that may not tolerate stronger AHAs like glycolic acid. Also well suited for acne prone skin due to its antibacterial action.
