Formula Review and Mixing Feedback for Cream

Question

I have a formula and plan to follow these steps:

1. Mix parts 1 and 2 together and stir until dissolved. Adjust pH to 5.5.
2. Mix A + B together, stirring continuously until a cream texture is obtained.

Are these steps correct? Is the formula suitable for my skin type?

Thank you for sharing your formula and steps for review.

The staff has reviewed your proposed formula and provided the following feedback:

pH Adjustment: The staff advises that adjusting the pH to 5.5 is not necessary as the formula will naturally have a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Mixing Process: When combining phase A and phase B, the staff recommends adding phase A to phase B gradually, in small amounts at a time, and stirring continuously. Adding a large amount at once can make it difficult to emulsify and require longer stirring.

The staff also confirmed that the formula is suitable for your skin type.

The other steps you outlined are correct.

We hope this feedback is helpful for your first attempt at making your own cosmetic product!
