Cream Base for Adding Volume to Existing Cream

To increase the volume of your existing whitening cream while maintaining its properties, you can use a neutral cream base. Keep in mind that adding a base will dilute the concentration of the active whitening ingredients in your original cream, which may reduce the whitening effect proportionally to the amount of base added.

Here are a couple of options for cream bases that can be mixed with existing creams:

• Absolue Soft Cream Base (compare to Lancome): This is a neutral cream base (preservative-free, fragrance-free, no added color) designed to be mixed with various active ingredients. You can mix this base directly into your existing cream to increase its volume. It is typically used at a high percentage (90-100%) when creating a formula from scratch, but can be added to an existing cream as needed for volume.
• Skin Barrier Cream Base (Emulsifier Free): While primarily designed for skin barrier repair, this base can also be mixed with other creams or base gels. However, it is a concentrated base and is typically recommended for use at a lower rate (5-10% for general nourishment, up to 50% for problematic skin) when diluting with other bases or water. If using this option, start with a small amount and mix thoroughly to ensure compatibility and desired texture.

When mixing, start with a small amount of the cream base and gradually add it to your existing cream, stirring well until you achieve the desired consistency and volume. Ensure thorough mixing to get a homogeneous product.
