Formulation Advice for a Water-Free Cream

Subject: Formulation advice for a water-free cream

Thank you for your question regarding creating a formulation similar to the one you provided, but without using water as a solvent.

The ingredients you listed are:

• Citrus limon fruit extract
• Aspergillus ferment filtrate
• Lactobecillus/citrus limonum peel ferment
• Niacinamide
• Ascorbyl palmitate
• Saccharide isomerate
• Biosaccharide gum2
• Allantoin
• D-Panthenol
• Inositol-B complex

You are asking for advice on how to modify the formula and what alternatives to water can be used.

My current capabilities are focused on searching and retrieving information about existing products from a database. I do not have the ability to provide specific cosmetic formulation advice or recommend alternative solvents for creating a water-free product.

Water is a very common solvent in cosmetic formulations because it can dissolve many ingredients, helps create desired textures, and provides hydration. Creating a stable and effective formulation without water requires a deep understanding of cosmetic chemistry, including the properties of each ingredient and the compatibility and characteristics of various non-aqueous solvents (such as oils, silicones, esters, glycols, etc.).

Therefore, I am unable to provide you with a modified formula or specific recommendations for alternative solvents. For detailed formulation guidance, it is best to consult with a cosmetic chemist or a formulator who specializes in anhydrous or water-free products.
