Creating an Oil-in-Water Essence or Serum

To create an Oil-in-Water (O/W) essence or serum using your specified oils (Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Squalane) and water-based ingredients (Safe-B3, Cucumber Extract, Licorice Extract, Galactomyces, Beta Glucan), you will need a suitable O/W emulsifier. An emulsifier helps to bind the oil and water phases together to create a stable, homogenous product like an essence or serum.

Based on your requirements and the available ingredients, here are some O/W emulsifiers you can consider:

• Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate: This is a natural O/W emulsifier that creates a lamellar structure, providing a good texture suitable for sensitive skin. It is mixed into the oil phase.
• Sucrose Cream Maker™: A natural-based, nonionic O/W emulsifier containing sucrose esters. It provides a silky, velvety feel and creates stable emulsions with lamellar structures. It is also mixed into the oil phase.
• Emulsifying Wax 1000: This is an emulsifying wax designed for O/W emulsions, helping to bind water and oil and improve product stability and consistency. It is mixed into the oil phase.
• CreamMaker EG™: While primarily a thickener and stabilizer, it can also function as a binder or emulsifier for O/W formulations. It is added to the water phase and is suitable for cold process formulations.

The choice of emulsifier will depend on the desired texture, stability, and natural origin preference for your final essence or serum. You may need to experiment with different emulsifiers and concentrations to achieve the desired result.
