Beginner-Friendly Cold Process Body Cream for Dry Skin

Hello,

Based on your request for a beginner-friendly, easy-to-mix body cream formulation that is easy to spread, smooth, non-sticky, and fast-absorbing, using the ingredients you have and want to include, the staff has proposed the following formulation which does not require heat:

Formulation:

Water Phase:

• Safe-B3 (Niacinamide): 5%
• GlucoBright (N-Acetyl Glucosamine): 4%
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): 1%
• Glycerin (Vegetable): 5%
• Phenoxyethanol SA (Optiphen Plus): 1%
• Water: to 100%

Oil Phase:

• Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear): 10%
• Light Cream Maker: 1%
• Squalane (Olive): 3%

The staff has included Silicone Gel (Ultra Clear) and Light Cream Maker. Silicone Gel helps provide a smooth, non-greasy, fast-absorbing feel, while Light Cream Maker is an emulsifier that allows for easy mixing without heat, helping to create the desired light cream texture. These ingredients are generally considered non-comedogenic and suitable for body skin, including dry areas.

Mixing Instructions:

1. Mix the ingredients in the Water Phase together until fully dissolved/combined.
2. Mix the ingredients in the Oil Phase together until fully combined.
3. Gradually add the Water Phase mixture into the Oil Phase mixture while continuously stirring or mixing until a homogeneous cream is formed. Add the water phase slowly in small portions, ensuring each addition is well incorporated before adding more.

This formulation is designed to be simple for beginners and achieve the texture and feel you are looking for, addressing the dryness on your legs and arms while being suitable for normal body skin.
