Adjusting Cream Formula: Reduce Stickiness, Increase Thickness

Hello,

Regarding the formula you provided and the issues you encountered (sticky texture, not thick enough), we have analyzed the ingredients and would like to suggest modifications to improve the formula as follows:

Formula Analysis:

• Stickiness: Ingredients that may contribute to a sticky or greasy feel include Glycerin (a humectant), Squalene/Squalane (part of the oil phase), potentially the high amount of Ceramide Complex, and certain types of Silicones depending on their amount and viscosity.
• Thickness: The main ingredients responsible for forming the cream texture and increasing viscosity are Light Cream Maker and Luxury Cream Maker.

Suggested Formula Modifications:

To make the cream thicker and less sticky, you can consider reducing ingredients that contribute to stickiness and increasing ingredients that enhance thickness.

Please try adjusting the formula according to the following proportions (in parts):

• Water: 460
• Rose Water: 70
• Glycerin: 30 (Reduced from 40 parts to decrease stickiness)
• Repair Activator: 10
• Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract: 30
• Squalene/Squalane: 40 (Reduced from 50 parts to reduce heavy/greasy feel)
• Light Cream Maker: 15 (Increased from 10 parts to help increase thickness)
• Luxury Cream Maker: 20 (Increased from 15 parts to help increase thickness)
• Disodium EDTA: 2
• Nano Silver Pure: 10
• Niacinamide: 20
• Panthenol V5: 30
• Full&Lift: 50
• SiliSilk: 20
• Dimethicone: 20
• Cyclomethicone: 10
• Phenoxyethanol SA: 6
• Ceramide Complex: 55
• Grapefruit Oil: 2

Rationale for Changes:

• Reducing the amount of Glycerin and Squalene/Squalane should help decrease the sticky and heavy feel on the skin.
• Increasing the amount of Light Cream Maker and Luxury Cream Maker will help the cream become thicker and more stable.

Additional Recommendations:

• As the staff inquired, please clarify whether you used Squalene or Squalane and if the stickiness is experienced by all skin types who used the cream, including those with dry skin. This information would be helpful.
• We recommend making a small test batch first to check if the adjusted texture meets your preference. If it's still too sticky, you might consider slightly reducing Glycerin or Squalene/Squalane further. If it's still not thick enough, you could slightly increase both Cream Makers.

We hope these suggestions are helpful for improving your formula.
