Question

Could you please provide a formula for a body butter cream intended for exfoliation, specifically using AHA at a concentration of 15%? I would like the formula to specify the percentages for each ingredient, including an emulsifier for butter cream texture, an oil phase ingredient (like Fractionated Coconut Oil or Shea Butter), a preservative (like Phenoxyethanol SA), and water.

Answer

Regarding your request for a body exfoliation formula using 15% AHA, the staff advises against using such a high concentration due to the potential for significant irritation.

They recommend a formula with 10% AHA instead, which is still potent and should only be used 1-2 times per week.

Here is the recommended butter cream formula:

Please note that even at 10%, you may experience a tingling sensation. Use this formula cautiously and only as recommended.
