Creating a "Cream Essence" Texture like Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence and Adding Hyaluronic Acid

The term "cream essence" is often used in marketing to describe a product with a light, watery texture that still provides the benefits of a cream or essence. To achieve a texture similar to Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence, which is a watery gel-cream sunscreen, you would typically use a combination of specific gelling agents and emulsifiers that can create a stable emulsion with a high water content and a non-greasy feel.

The staff previously provided a link to a recipe for a hybrid sunscreen similar to Biore and Shiseido. This recipe is an excellent starting point as it is designed to achieve a similar light texture while incorporating sunscreen agents like DHHB and Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, which were identified in the Biore product.

To incorporate Hyaluronic Acid (which is typically Sodium Hyaluronate) into this type of formulation, you would generally add it to the water phase of your recipe. Sodium Hyaluronate is a humectant that helps to hydrate the skin and can also contribute to the gel-like texture of the product. The percentage to use depends on the desired viscosity and the specific type of Sodium Hyaluronate, but it is usually used at concentrations between 0.1% and 2%.

General steps based on the provided recipe:

1. Follow the provided recipe for the hybrid sunscreen base, paying close attention to the recommended gelling agents and emulsifiers, as these are key to achieving the desired light texture.
2. Prepare the water phase according to the recipe.
3. Disperse the Sodium Hyaluronate powder into the water phase and allow it to hydrate fully. This may take some time, and stirring or gentle heating can help speed up the process.
4. Combine the water phase (now containing the hydrated Sodium Hyaluronate) with the oil phase and emulsify according to the recipe instructions.
5. Add any remaining ingredients, such as preservatives or fragrances, during the cooling phase as directed by the recipe.

Achieving the exact texture of a commercial product often requires some experimentation with the percentages of gelling agents, emulsifiers, and emollients. However, starting with the provided recipe and incorporating Sodium Hyaluronate into the water phase is the recommended approach to create a similar "cream essence" sunscreen.

Remember to always follow good manufacturing practices and test the stability and SPF of your final product if making a sunscreen formulation.
