Ingredients for Cream Blush

To create a cream blush, you will generally need the following types of ingredients:

1. Colorants: These provide the desired shade. Mica powders are commonly used for this purpose. Examples include Mauve Rose Mica, Luster Pink Mica, and Red Pink Super Sparkle Mica.
2. Emulsifier: This ingredient helps to combine the oil and water phases of the cream, creating a stable texture. Sucrose Cream Maker™ is an example of an emulsifier suitable for cream formulations.
3. Oils/Emollients: These provide the creamy texture, spreadability, and skin feel. The specific oils used will affect the richness and finish of the blush.
4. Water: As it's a cream (oil-in-water emulsion), water is a necessary component.
5. Texture Modifiers/Fillers: Ingredients like UltraBlur™ (Skin Blurring Silica) can be added to improve the texture, feel, and blurring effect on the skin.
6. Preservative: Essential to prevent microbial growth in the water-containing formula.

The exact ratio and combination of ingredients will depend on the desired consistency, color intensity, and finish of the final cream blush product.
