Hand Cream Formulations for Dry Airplane Air

Based on the previous recommendations, here are two approaches for hand cream formulations suitable for the dry environment on an airplane:

1. Light Gel Formulation (for those who dislike stickiness)

This formula focuses on providing moisture that is easily absorbed without feeling heavy on the skin.

• Pro Polymer™ (Gel Maker) 1%: Helps create a light gel texture that is non-sticky and effectively holds other ingredients.
• MOIST72™ 3%: A highly effective moisturizer that helps maintain skin hydration for up to 72 hours.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) 5%: Helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce water loss, increase elasticity, and soothe the skin, reducing inflammation.
• Purified Water Balance to 100%

2. Slightly Richer Cream Formulation

This formula provides more intense hydration, suitable for very dry conditions.

• Light Cream Maker™ 1%: An easy-to-use Oil-in-Water emulsifier that creates a light, easily absorbed cream texture.
• Jojoba Oil (Golden - Deodorized) 5%: A natural oil with a structure similar to skin sebum, providing natural moisture without clogging pores.
• MOIST72™ (Percentage as needed, can be the same as the first formula or adjusted): Helps maintain long-lasting skin hydration.
• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) (Percentage as needed, can be the same as the first formula or adjusted): Helps strengthen the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and soothe the skin.
• WaterLock™ (Polyquaternium-51) 2%: Creates a thin film on the skin to effectively prevent water loss (Trans-Epidermal Water Loss) and helps reduce irritation.
• Purified Water Balance to 100%

You can adjust the percentages of the moisturizing ingredients (MOIST72™, Panthenol, WaterLock™) as needed to achieve the desired level of hydration for your skin.
