Cream Formulation and Mixing for Dry, Problematic Skin

Based on your skin concerns, including psoriasis, dryness, uneven skin tone, occasional itching, dark spots, and wrinkles, the staff has provided a recommended cream formulation using the ingredients you selected.

Here is the suggested formula:

Water Phase

• Aloe Vera Extract (10:1 FullAssay™): 3%
• Hyaluronic Acid Elastomer: 10%
• Ectoine: 2%
• Ceramide Complex (CeraTouch™): 3%
• Vitamin B5: 3%
• Satin Cream Maker: 1%
• Mild Preserved Eco (Preservative): 1%
• Water: Remaining percentage to reach 100%

Oil Phase

• Jojoba Oil (Clear - Deodorized): 10%
• Shea Butter: 10%
• Natural White Beeswax: 5%
• Butter Cream Maker: 3%

The staff mentioned that some of the oils you initially listed were too light for very dry, flaky skin and were excluded from this formulation.

Regarding your questions about the mixing process:

• You can use an electric stove for heating. If using a gas stove, you must use a double boiler method (indirect heat) and not direct flame. Using a thermometer to measure the temperature is recommended.
• Yes, a preservative is necessary. The recommended formula includes Mild Preserved Eco at 1%.

Mixing Instructions:

1. Combine the ingredients for the water phase without heat.
2. Combine the ingredients for the oil phase and heat to 70°C until everything is dissolved and mixed.
3. Gently warm the water phase until it reaches approximately 70°C.
4. Slowly pour the oil phase into the water phase while continuously stirring or using a mixer until fully combined.

For beginners, it is recommended to try making a small batch first to get familiar with the process.
