Subject: Mixing Instructions for Anti-Aging and Brightening Cream

Based on the ingredients you provided and the feedback regarding the interaction between DMAE and Satin Cream Maker, here are mixing instructions for two variations of your formula, suitable for normal to dry skin:

Formulation 1: With DMAE and Pro Polymer
This formulation includes DMAE and adds Pro Polymer to help stabilize the emulsion against the electrolyte effect of DMAE when using Satin Cream Maker.

Ingredients:

  • DMAE (SkinTight MD™) Liquid
  • Wrinkle-Fill™ (Acetyl L-Tyrosine)
  • Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5)
  • MOIST72™
  • Soy Extract (Isoflavones / Genistein)
  • Yeast Radiance™
  • Satin Cream Maker
  • Phenoxyethanol SA
  • Pro Polymer

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Water Phase (Phase A): Combine water with DMAE, Wrinkle-Fill, Panthenol, MOIST72, Soy Extract, and Yeast Radiance. Disperse Pro Polymer in this mixture and allow it to hydrate fully according to its specific instructions (usually requires stirring and time). Heat Phase A to 70-75°C.
  2. Prepare the Oil Phase (Phase B): Combine Satin Cream Maker with any oils or butters you are using (if applicable - none were listed in your ingredients). Heat Phase B to 70-75°C.
  3. Emulsify: Slowly add Phase B to Phase A while stirring continuously with a homogenizer or high-shear mixer. Maintain high-shear mixing for several minutes until a stable emulsion forms.
  4. Cool Down: Continue stirring the mixture as it cools. You can use a lower speed stirrer during the cooling phase.
  5. Add Cool-down Ingredients (Phase C): Once the temperature drops below 40°C, add Phenoxyethanol SA and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout the cream.
  6. Final Adjustments: Check the consistency and pH (if necessary) and adjust with water if needed to reach your desired texture.

Formulation 2: Without DMAE
This is a simpler formulation without DMAE, which avoids the electrolyte incompatibility issue with Satin Cream Maker.

Ingredients:

  • Wrinkle-Fill™ (Acetyl L-Tyrosine)
  • Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5)
  • MOIST72™
  • Soy Extract (Isoflavones / Genistein)
  • Yeast Radiance™
  • Satin Cream Maker
  • Phenoxyethanol SA

Mixing Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Water Phase (Phase A): Combine water with Wrinkle-Fill, Panthenol, MOIST72, Soy Extract, and Yeast Radiance. Heat Phase A to 70-75°C.
  2. Prepare the Oil Phase (Phase B): Combine Satin Cream Maker with any oils or butters you are using (if applicable). Heat Phase B to 70-75°C.
  3. Emulsify: Slowly add Phase B to Phase A while stirring continuously with a homogenizer or high-shear mixer. Maintain high-shear mixing for several minutes until a stable emulsion forms.
  4. Cool Down: Continue stirring the mixture as it cools.
  5. Add Cool-down Ingredients (Phase C): Once the temperature drops below 40°C, add Phenoxyethanol SA and stir until it is evenly distributed.
  6. Final Adjustments: Check the consistency and pH (if necessary) and adjust with water if needed.

Important Notes:

  • These instructions are general guidelines for creating an emulsion. Specific percentages and detailed instructions for each raw material (especially hydration requirements for Pro Polymer and usage instructions for Satin Cream Maker) should be followed according to the supplier's recommendations.
  • Always use good manufacturing practices, including sanitizing equipment and working in a clean environment.
  • The suitability of the final product for normal to dry skin depends on the specific percentages of each ingredient used, which were not provided.

We hope this helps you in creating your cream!
