Horse Oil Cream Formulation Inquiry

Question

I have a formula for a horse oil cream and would like to ask about the following points regarding this formulation: Are the ingredients I've chosen suitable and are there any overlaps? Will the texture be too sticky or greasy? Is 5% Mineral Oil sufficient for dissolving oil-soluble ingredients, or is its primary function in this formula moisturizing?

Hello, Regarding your inquiry about making horse oil cream and the ingredients you listed, the MySkinRecipes team has provided the following information:

Are there any overlapping ingredients? The team stated that the ingredients you chose are suitable for the formula's purpose. They suggested considering increasing the amount of Double Hyaluron Liquid to 0.5-1.0%.
Will it be too sticky/greasy? The team mentioned that the feeling of stickiness is subjective and varies for each user, so they cannot confirm definitively. However, based on the formula provided, they believe it is suitable for dry skin. If the skin is very dry, it might not provide sufficient moisture.
Is 5% mineral oil too low for dissolving oil-soluble ingredients? The team clarified that some ingredients in the formula are already in oil form and do not need to be dissolved by mineral oil. Mineral oil in this formula functions to help increase skin moisture by coating the skin to reduce water loss. The amount of 5% is not too low for this role.

Hope this information is helpful.
