Formula Review:

This formula contains several ingredients excellent for moisturizing, such as MOIST24, Ceramide Complex, Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol, Creatine 100, and Mineral Ready. These will help strengthen the skin barrier and reduce water loss, improving hydration for dry skin. It also includes other actives for anti-aging and brightening. The final texture will largely depend on the Satin Cream Maker used as the primary emulsifier; 1.5% might result in a relatively light cream texture.

Mixing Instructions:

Generally, when formulating a cream with Satin Cream Maker (often a hot or semi-hot process emulsifier) and numerous active ingredients, you would divide the process into phases:

1. Phase 1 (Water Phase): Weigh the Sterile Distilled Water (78.5%) into a heat-resistant container. Heat it to approximately 70-80°C (you should double-check the specific usage instructions for Satin Cream Maker regarding the required temperature).
2. Phase 2 (Emulsifier): Weigh the Satin Cream Maker (1.5%). Add it to Phase 1 while still warm/hot. Use a spatula or mixer to stir until the Satin Cream Maker is fully dissolved or dispersed.
3. Emulsification: Remove the mixture from heat. Stir continuously in one direction. You can use a hand blender intermittently to help create a smoother emulsion. Continue stirring until the cream base starts to form and cool down.
4. Phase 3 (Actives and Preservative): While the cream base cools down to below 40°C (or room temperature), weigh all the remaining ingredients: MOIST24 (5.0%), Ceramide Complex (1.0%), Hydro-White™ (1.0%), Pro-Cysteine (0.5%), Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol (2.0%), Creatine 100 (1.0%), Ultrasomes Micrococcus Lysate (1.0%), Mineral Ready™ (2.0%), and Mild Preserved Eco™ (1.0%).
   • For powdered ingredients like Ceramide Complex, you might need to pre-dissolve them in a small amount of water or glycerin or add them directly to the base and stir until fully dissolved/dispersed.
5. Combine Phases: Add all ingredients from Phase 3 to the cooled cream base. Mix thoroughly until everything is uniformly dispersed and the cream is homogenous.
6. Final Check: It may be necessary to check the pH of the final cream (although no pH adjuster is listed in the formula) and adjust it to a skin-friendly range (typically around 5.0-6.0) before packaging.

Precaution: Always ensure all equipment and containers are clean before starting and wear gloves for good hygiene.
