Formulation Modification, Ingredient Substitution, Preservatives, and Sunscreen Silicones

Based on the staff's response, here is the analysis of your proposed formula and answers to your questions:

• Proposed Formula Feasibility: The staff confirms that your proposed modified formula is feasible. They suggest replacing PEG-90 with Propylene Glycol (Product ID 138).
• MOIST24 (Product ID 1053) vs. Cetearyl Alcohol (Product ID 480): These ingredients have different functions. Cetearyl Alcohol helps create the cream texture of the product, so MOIST24 cannot directly replace it if you want to maintain the texture.
• Phenoxyethanol SA (Product ID 928) as a Preservative: The staff states that using Phenoxyethanol SA alone is sufficient for preservation. They did not compare its mildness to Methylparaben, Propylparaben, and Butylparaben, but confirmed it can be used by itself.
• Silicones in Sunscreen: According to the staff, silicones used to disperse sunscreen in waterproof formulas generally have similar film-forming and water-resistant properties. Proper cleansing is important to prevent clogged pores.
