Based on the formula and the reply you received, the "Anti-irritate Cream" formulation appears feasible to make.

The ingredients and percentages are:

Allantoin: 0.2 %
Phenoxyethanol (Preservative): 1 %
Creatine 100: 1 %
Magnolia Extract (Magnolol, Honokiol): 1 %
Bisabolol (German Chamomile Extract): 1 %
SKIN-DEFENSE® V: 2 %
Calendula Extract (Water Soluble): 2.8 %
Hi-Quercetin® (Onion Extract): 3 %
AminoSilk™: 3 %
Rich Cream Maker™: 4 %
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™: 5 %
DI Water: 76 %

(Note: The total percentage is slightly over 100%, which is a minor discrepancy often adjusted with the water phase.)*

The ingredients listed are commonly used in cosmetic products, particularly those targeting skin irritation and soothing.

As mentioned in the reply you received, the formula looks fine and can be mixed. The suggestion is to use gentle heat (around 50°C) when incorporating Rich Cream Maker™ to achieve a smoother cream texture. For beginners, using Light Cream Maker™ or Satin Cream Maker™ might be easier as they may not require heat, although the resulting texture might be less rich compared to using Rich Cream Maker™.
