Question
I would like to make a skin cream base using Beeswax. I have a couple of questions:
- What non-paraben preservative should I use?
- Do you have a rough formula I could follow? I plan to include the following components:
- Water
- Beeswax
- mineral oil
- Essential Oil
- Preservative
- Tween 20
- stearic acid
- Gms
Answer
Okay, I understand you're looking to create a skin cream base using Beeswax and need advice on preservatives and a basic formula.
Regarding your questions:
- The best choice for a non-paraben preservative depends heavily on the final characteristics of your cream formula, particularly its pH level. Different preservatives work effectively at different pH ranges.
- To provide a suitable rough formula and recommend a specific preservative, I need a bit more information about the cream you intend to make.
Could you please tell me:
- What is the main purpose of this cream (e.g., general moisturizer, specific skin concern)?
- What is the skin type of the person who will be using this cream (e.g., dry, oily, sensitive, normal)?
- What kind of texture are you aiming for (e.g., light lotion, rich cream, balm)?
Once I have these details, I can provide a more tailored recommendation for a preservative and a starting point for your formula.
