Adjusting Sleeping Mask Formula for Cloudy, Soft, Smooth Gel Texture

Question

I am looking for a sleeping mask formula that results in a cloudy, soft, and smooth gel texture. The formula should be based on ingredients available from MySkinRecipes, potentially simplifying or replacing ingredients from an existing product's list.

Could you provide a recommended formula and mixing instructions?

Additionally, I would like to inquire about the possibility of creating a tester batch (500g - 1kg) and the estimated cost for this quantity.

The recommended formula provided is:

Water Phase:
- Water: Remaining percentage
- Butylene Glycol: 5%
- Glycerin: 5%
- Trehalose: 2%
- Sodium Hyaluronate: 3%
- Beta-Glucan: 5%
Texture Enhancer:
- Satin Cream Maker: 1.5%
Oil Phase / Silicone:
- Perfect-C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate): 5%
- Silicone Gel Ultra-Clear (Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer): 5%
- Cyclopentasiloxane: 10%
Final Addition:
- Mild Preserved Eco (Preservative): 1%

Mixing Instructions:

Mix the water phase ingredients together. Stir or blend until well combined.
Add Satin Cream Maker to the water phase and stir or blend until a cloudy gel texture is formed.
Mix the oil phase ingredients together. Add the oil phase to the cloudy gel from the previous step. Stir or blend until a good cream texture is achieved.
Add the preservative (Mild Preserved Eco) in the final step.

Thank you for your questions regarding adjusting the sleeping mask formula.

Regarding whether all ingredients listed on the original product are actually included: Cosmetic regulations require manufacturers to list all ingredients. However, the exact concentration of each ingredient and the presence of trace amounts or contaminants are details of the manufacturing process that cannot be verified from the ingredient list alone.

Regarding removing unnecessary ingredients or using alternatives: The formula proposed by the staff is an adjusted version based on the original ingredient list, using ingredients available from MySkinRecipes. This proposed formula aims to achieve a similar texture and efficacy while simplifying the original list and suggesting suitable replacements for ingredients not available.

Here is the proposed formula from the staff:

Water Phase:
- Water: Remaining percentage
- Butylene Glycol: 5%
- Glycerin: 5%
- Trehalose: 2%
- Sodium Hyaluronate: 3%
- Beta-Glucan: 5%

Regarding getting a tester made and the estimated cost for 500g - 1kg: I do not have information on the procedures for creating custom testers or the current pricing of ingredients to calculate the total cost. Please contact the MySkinRecipes staff directly for information on tester services and to inquire about the cost based on the proposed formula and desired quantity. You can also check the prices of individual ingredients on the MySkinRecipes website to estimate the cost yourself.
