Formula Evaluation and Usage Guide

Based on your skin type (dry, peeling, sensitive, prone to irritation and acne marks) and the ingredients you've chosen, this formula is well-suited to address your concerns, particularly dryness, peeling, and sensitivity.

• Suitability: The combination of Ceramide Complex, MOIST72, Aloe Vera Extract, and Avocado Oil provides excellent moisturizing and skin barrier support, which is crucial for dry and sensitive skin. Repair Activator offers anti-aging and skin repair benefits, while Vitamin B12 helps soothe irritation and supports skin regeneration, potentially helping with acne marks. The percentages of the active ingredients are within the recommended ranges for effectiveness. Light Cream Maker is suitable for emulsifying the oil content in your formula using a cold process.
• Potential Enhancements: For enhanced skin barrier repair, especially given your sensitive skin, you could consider incorporating Cholesterol and Phospholipid alongside the Ceramide Complex, as recommended for the Ceramide Complex you've chosen. However, note that Cholesterol requires high heat for mixing, which might complicate the process with heat-sensitive ingredients like Vitamin B12. Alternatively, using a different type of Ceramide Complex product that already includes these components or is easier to incorporate might be simpler.

Mixing Instructions

This formula can be mixed using a cold process method with Light Cream Maker.

1. Combine all water-soluble ingredients (Water, Repair Activator, Ceramide Complex, Aloe Vera Extract, MOIST72, Vitamin B12) in a container. Stir gently until everything is dissolved or dispersed evenly.
2. In a separate container, combine the oil-soluble ingredient (Avocado Oil) and Light Cream Maker. Stir to mix them together.
3. Slowly add the oil mixture from step 2 into the water mixture from step 1 while stirring continuously.
4. Continue stirring until a homogeneous cream texture is formed. Avoid using very high-speed blending, as this can affect the stability of the cream created by Light Cream Maker.
5. Check the pH of the final product. For optimal stability of Vitamin B12, the pH should ideally be between 4.0 and 6.5. Adjust if necessary.
6. Ensure your formula has an adequate preservative system for stability and safety, especially with the high water content.

Storage Recommendations

For Leftover Raw Materials:

• Ceramide Complex: Store in the refrigerator at 6-8°C. Do not freeze. Keep the container tightly sealed.
• Repair Activator: Store in the refrigerator at 6-8°C. Keep the container tightly sealed and protected from sunlight and heat.
• Aloe Vera Extract: Store in a cool place, ideally around 4°C, away from sunlight. Close the lid tightly after each use.
• MOIST72: For long-term storage, keep in the refrigerator at 6-8°C.
• Vitamin B12: For long-term storage, keep in the refrigerator at 6-8°C. It is highly sensitive to light, so store it in a completely opaque container and avoid light exposure.
• Avocado Oil: Store at room temperature, away from heat, direct sunlight, and extreme weather conditions.
• Light Cream Maker: Store at room temperature in a tightly closed container, protected from sunlight or heat.
• Cholesterol & Phosphatidylcholine (if purchased): Follow the specific storage instructions for these ingredients, which typically involve cool, dark storage and protection from moisture.

For the Finished Product:

Due to the presence of sensitive ingredients like Ceramide Complex, Repair Activator, MOIST72, and Vitamin B12, the finished cream should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain their efficacy and the overall stability of the product. Store it in an opaque container to protect Vitamin B12 from light degradation.
