Body Cream Formulation and Mixing Instructions

Thank you for your question regarding your body cream formulation. Based on the previous discussion with the staff, the combination of Glycolic Acid and Light Cream Maker can lead to instability in the cream. To create a stable formulation, you have two recommended options:

Understanding Percentage Calculation for 200 ml

The percentages you provided are based on the total volume (200 ml) of the final product. To calculate the amount of each ingredient, multiply the total volume by the percentage (as a decimal). For example, 3% of 200 ml is 0.03 * 200 ml = 6 ml (or approximately 6 grams).

Option 1: Keep Glycolic Acid (2%) and use Satin Cream Maker (2%)

This option replaces Light Cream Maker with Satin Cream Maker, which is compatible with Glycolic Acid.

Ingredients for 200 ml:

• Safe-B3™: 6 ml (or 6 g)
• L-Carnitine: 6 ml (or 6 g)
• Glycolic Acid Powder: 4 ml (or 4 g)
• Activated Resorcinol™: 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Alpha Arbutin: 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Olive Oil (Extra Virgin): 10 ml (or 10 g)
• NaturalProfile™ Grape Seed Oil: 10 ml (or 10 g)
• Satin Cream Maker™: 4 ml (or 4 g)
• Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure): 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Purified Water: 154 ml (or 154 g)

Option 2: Remove Glycolic Acid and use Light Cream Maker (1%)

This option removes Glycolic Acid to maintain stability with Light Cream Maker.

Ingredients for 200 ml:

• Safe-B3™: 6 ml (or 6 g)
• L-Carnitine: 6 ml (or 6 g)
• Activated Resorcinol™: 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Alpha Arbutin: 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Olive Oil (Extra Virgin): 10 ml (or 10 g)
• NaturalProfile™ Grape Seed Oil: 10 ml (or 10 g)
• Light Cream Maker™: 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure): 2 ml (or 2 g)
• Purified Water: 160 ml (or 160 g)

General Mixing Instructions

1. Water Phase: Heat purified water to 70-80°C. Add water-soluble ingredients (Safe-B3™, L-Carnitine, Glycolic Acid if using, Activated Resorcinol™, Alpha Arbutin) and stir to dissolve.
2. Oil Phase: In a separate container, combine oils (Olive Oil, Grape Seed Oil) and the chosen cream maker (Satin Cream Maker™ or Light Cream Maker™). Heat to 70-80°C.
3. Combine: Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while mixing continuously. Mix until the cream thickens upon cooling.
4. Cool Down: Once cooled below 40°C, add Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure) and mix well.
5. pH Adjustment (Option 1): If using Glycolic Acid, check and adjust the pH to 4.5-5.5.
6. Final Mix: Stir gently until uniform.
7. Package: Fill into clean containers.

Always weigh ingredients for accuracy and ensure clean equipment.
