Systems and methods for skin rejuvenation are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a skin rejuvenation system includes a unit dose of a booster product that includes active ingredients of ferulic acid and phloretin; a unit dose of at least one exfoliating product that includes active ingredients of ferulic acid and phloretin in combination with fruit acids or alpha hydroxyacids; and a unit dose of a nano-additive product for enhancing penetration of the active ingredients. A method for skin rejuvenation includes applying topically, to a skin surface to be treated, a booster product including active ingredients of ferulic acid and phloretin; applying topically, to the skin surface, at least one exfoliating product including active ingredients of ferulic acid and phloretin in combination with one of fruit acids or alpha hydroxyacids; and applying topically, to the skin surface, a nano-additive product for enhancing penetration of the active ingredients.

A method for producing a functional lubricant includes mixing particulate sodium polyacrylate alone with water, adding a particulate carbonate which is any one or more of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and calcium carbonate and a particulate carboxylic acid which is any one or more of citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid to the water containing the sodium polyacrylate to produce carbon dioxide, and allowing the sodium polyacrylate to disperse without stirring the water to produce a functional lubricant containing the sodium polyacrylate serving as a sole lubricant base. The weight ratio of the sodium polyacrylate to the carbonate and to the carboxylic acid is from 5:1:1 to 8:1:1.
