Formulation Assessment and Additional Extracts

Thank you for providing your list of ingredients and asking about the possibility of creating this formulation and adding more extracts.

Based on the ingredients you've listed, it appears to be a comprehensive formulation aiming for moisturizing, anti-aging, and skin-conditioning benefits. The percentages you've indicated for the initial ingredients seem generally within the typical recommended usage rates for each component based on their descriptions.

Initial Formulation Feasibility

The combination of ingredients like Soft Cream Maker™, Cetyl Alcohol, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Silicone Gel, and Cyclopentasiloxane suggests a cream or lotion type of emulsion. Ingredients like Safe-B3™, DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid, Panthenol, Vitamin E, Allantoin, Orange Peel Extract, Apple Stem Cell Extract, and Ume Extract provide various skin benefits such as anti-aging, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The inclusion of 1,2-Hexanediol, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, and Natural Betaine contributes to hydration, solvency, and potentially preservative boosting (in the case of 1,2-Hexanediol and Propanediol). Triethanolamine is likely included for pH adjustment, which is a standard practice.

The preservative system using Phenoxyethanol (at <=0.3%) and Caprylhydroxamic Acid (0.2%), potentially boosted by 1,2-Hexanediol (3%) and Propanediol (1%), seems plausible based on the descriptions, although the effectiveness of this specific combination and concentration would require challenge testing.

While the individual ingredients appear compatible based on their descriptions and typical uses in cosmetic formulations, the stability and final texture of the complete formula depend heavily on the precise interaction of all components and the manufacturing process. Therefore, while the list is a good starting point, some adjustments might be necessary during the formulation development phase to achieve optimal stability, texture, and performance.

Regarding your question about adjusting percentages during custom production, yes, absolutely. When you proceed with custom manufacturing, formulation experts will work with you to fine-tune the percentages, ensure stability, and optimize the formula based on your specific goals and desired product characteristics.

Adding Additional Extracts

You can certainly consider adding the additional extracts you mentioned:

• Plankton Artemia Extract: This extract offers anti-pollution benefits and can help protect skin cells, increase collagen production, and reduce UV-induced DNA damage. The recommended usage rate is typically 0.5-5%, with 2% being a common recommendation. Using higher amounts might result in a sticky texture.
• Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening): Known for its immediate lifting and tightening effects, this ingredient can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The recommended usage rate is 1-2%.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Madecassoside 90%): This highly concentrated extract is excellent for stimulating collagen, reducing wrinkles, tightening skin, and reducing inflammation and redness. The recommended usage rate is typically 0.1-2%, with 1% being a common recommendation.

These extracts are generally water-soluble or dispersible and can likely be incorporated into your formulation. When adding these, the percentage of Aqua (water) in your formula would need to be reduced accordingly to keep the total at 100%.

Next Steps

To move forward with this formulation and incorporate the additional extracts, it is highly recommended to consult with the custom production team. They have the expertise to evaluate the complete formula, perform necessary stability and compatibility tests, and determine the optimal percentages for all ingredients, including the new extracts, to create a safe, stable, and effective final product tailored to your needs.
