Cream Formulation for Dry, Mature Skin: Efficacy, Compatibility, Manufacturing Steps, and Improvement Suggestions

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your cream formulation. This formula includes several interesting ingredients focused on moisture and wrinkle reduction, which are suitable for dry skin and individuals aged 50 and above.

Based on the ingredients and steps you provided, as well as the feedback from the MySkinRecipes staff:

1. Efficacy and Ingredients:

   • The formula contains several moisturizing ingredients such as WaterLock, Double Hyaluron Liquid, MOIST24, Olive Oil, and Shea Butter Light Oil, which will effectively hydrate and soften dry skin.
   • Ingredients targeting wrinkles, such as Soy Extract, Wild Yam Extract, and Oryzanol, have antioxidant properties and may help improve skin elasticity.
   • Overall, this formula has the potential to effectively moisturize the skin and help with wrinkle reduction as you intended.

2. Ingredient Compatibility:

   • The MySkinRecipes staff has confirmed that the ingredients in your original formula are compatible.

3. Manufacturing Steps:

   • The manufacturing steps you provided are correct according to the principles of emulsification (cream making), involving correctly combining the water phase (water-soluble ingredients) with the oil phase (oil-soluble ingredients and emulsifier).

4. Additional Recommendation from Staff:

   • The staff recommended adding 2% Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and 3% Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), while reducing the amount of Soy Extract to 2%.
   • Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): A Pro-Vitamin B5 that helps increase moisture, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier. It is very suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
   • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): Offers various benefits, including strengthening the skin barrier, reducing water loss, increasing skin hydration, reducing redness and inflammation, helping to even out skin tone, and stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles. These benefits are particularly valuable for mature skin and addressing wrinkle concerns.
   • Adding Vitamin B5 and B3 to this formula will enhance its effectiveness in moisturizing, revitalizing the skin, and reducing wrinkles.

Revised Formula and Manufacturing Steps (Including Vitamin B5 and B3):

1. WaterLock 2%
2. Double Hyaluron Liquid 0.5%
3. MOIST24 5%
4. Soy Extract 2% (Reduced)
5. Phenoxyethanol SA 1%
6. Water 64% (Reduced)
7. Wild Yam Extract 3%

11. Light Cream Maker 2%
12. Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) 2% (Added)
13. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 3% (Added)
    Total 100%

Manufacturing Steps (Revised):
A. Prepare the Water Phase: Combine Water (6), WaterLock (1), Double Hyaluron Liquid (2), MOIST24 (3), Vitamin B5 (12), and Vitamin B3 (13) in a container. Stir or mix until the ingredients are dissolved or dispersed well.
B. Prepare the Oil Phase: Combine Wild Yam Extract (7), Oryzanol (8), Olive Oil (9), Shea Butter Light Oil (10), and Light Cream Maker (11) in another container. Stir or mix until combined.
C. Emulsification Step: Slowly pour the Water Phase (A) into the Oil Phase (B) little by little, while continuously stirring or mixing at medium speed until all ingredients are combined into a smooth cream texture.
D. Final Step: Once the cream texture is achieved, allow the cream to cool down (if heat was applied during emulsification, although this formula appears to be Cold Process or Semi-Cold Process). Then add Soy Extract (4) and Phenoxyethanol SA (5). Stir or mix until the final ingredients are well incorporated.

This revised formula should further enhance the effectiveness of moisturizing dry skin and reducing wrinkles for mature skin.
