Facial Cream Formulation for Acne, Dryness, Sensitivity, and Dark Spots

Subject: Facial Cream Formula Analysis

Thank you for providing details about your skin concerns (dry, sensitive, clogged pores, dark spots from acne) and goals (treat acne, whiten skin, reduce dark spots).

Based on your needs, the staff has suggested a revised formula that is specifically tailored to address these issues and already includes Safe-B3, which you asked about for reducing dark spots.

Here is the staff's recommended formula:

• Encapsulated Salicylic Acid (Powder, Timed-Release) 4% (for clogged pores)
• Vitamin B5 3% (moisturizer)
• MOIST72 2% (moisturizer)
• Rhamnose 2% (moisturizer)
• SKIN-DEFENSE® V 2% (anti-irritant, skin barrier)
• Ezerrawax™ 3% (anti-irritant, skin barrier)
• Shea Butter 5% (or LipidSoft™ Film 5% and/or Jojoba Oil 5%) (for dry skin)
• Safe-B3 5% (whitening, dark spots)
• GlucoBright 4% (whitening)
• Satin Cream Maker 2% (emulsifier)
• Mild Preserved Eco 1% (preservative)
• Distilled Water to 100%

This formula is designed to help with clogged pores, provide hydration, soothe sensitive skin, and improve skin tone and dark spots.

Here are the general mixing steps for this cream formula (using a hot process):

1. Phase A (Water Phase): Combine Distilled Water, Vitamin B5, MOIST72, Rhamnose, Safe-B3, GlucoBright, and Encapsulated Salicylic Acid in a heat-resistant container. Heat gently to about 70-75°C, stirring until dissolved and dispersed.
2. Phase B (Oil Phase): In a separate heat-resistant container, combine Shea Butter (or your chosen oil/butter), Ezerrawax, SKIN-DEFENSE V, and Satin Cream Maker. Heat gently to about 70-75°C, stirring until melted and combined.
3. Emulsification: Slowly pour Phase B into Phase A while mixing continuously with a homogenizer or high-shear mixer for 3-5 minutes until a stable cream forms.
4. Cooling: Continue stirring while cooling the cream to below 40°C.
5. Phase C (Cooling Phase): Once cooled below 40°C, add Mild Preserved Eco and mix thoroughly.
6. Final Check: Mix well to ensure uniformity. You can check and adjust the pH if needed (typically to 5.0-6.0 for facial creams). Package the cream.
