Adjusting Cream Formulation for Matte Finish

Question

I have a cream formulation that leaves a shiny finish after application. The staff suggested removing Hydro Gel (Biosaccharide Gum-1) and Aloe Vera Extract and adding PowderCream at 5% to achieve a matte finish.

Is this the correct approach?

Based on your feedback and the staff's suggestion, the issue of the shiny finish after applying the cream formulation can be addressed by adjusting the ingredients as recommended.

The staff suggested removing Hydro Gel (Biosaccharide Gum-1) and Aloe Vera Extract, and adding PowderCream at 5%.

PowderCream is specifically designed to absorb excess oil on the skin's surface, helping to create a matte finish and reduce shine throughout the day. Adding this ingredient directly targets the problem you are experiencing.
Removing Hydro Gel and Aloe Vera Extract, which are primarily moisturizing and soothing agents, might also contribute to a less dewy or shiny feel, complementing the effect of PowderCream.

Following the staff's advice to add PowderCream and remove the other two ingredients should help achieve the desired non-shiny finish while maintaining hydration. Remember to mix the PowderCream thoroughly as instructed.
