Night Cream Formulation Mixing Steps and Heat Sensitivity
Question
I am formulating a night cream using the following ingredients:
1. Rose Petal Water 35%
2. Rose Water (Rosa Damascena) 47%
3. Reshape Gel™ 5%
4. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™ 3%
5. Double Hyaluron Liquid 5%
6. Full & Lift™ 5%
My proposed mixing steps are:
1. Combine Rose Petal Water and Rose Water (Rosa Damascena) until fully mixed.
2. Add Double Hyaluron Liquid.
3. Gently heat the mixture to approximately 40°C.
4. Add Reshape Gel™ while stirring continuously until it is fully incorporated and the mixture thickens.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Add Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™ and continue stirring until it is evenly dispersed.
7. Allow the mixture to cool down.
8. Finally, add Full & Lift™ and stir until completely combined.
I am unsure about the correct mixing order for combining all ingredients, especially regarding the heat sensitivity of Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ExtraLite™, which needs to be dissolved in water but can tolerate heat for only a short duration. Please advise on the mixing procedure.
