Review of Body Lotion Formulations for Mature Skin Concerns
Question
I would like to produce body lotion and need assistance reviewing the following formulas to see if they are suitable for body lotion.

Answer
Hello,
We have reviewed the three body lotion formulas you inquired about. All three formulas can indeed be produced as Body Lotions. Each formula has different highlights and ingredients, which can help address your skin concerns (rough skin, wrinkles, slow fading dark spots/scars, bumpy skin) as follows:
1. Exfoliant body lotion formula:
This formula focuses on skin exfoliation. Its main ingredients are Glycolic Acid (AHA), Lactic Acid (AHA), and Salicylic Acid (BHA), which gently exfoliate dead skin cells, resulting in smoother skin and effectively reducing roughness and bumpy skin issues. It also contains various moisturizing and nourishing ingredients such as Shea Butter, LipidSoft™ Moist, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Panthenol, which help keep the skin hydrated after exfoliation. This formula is suitable for directly addressing issues like uneven skin texture, bumpy skin, and marks, but it is recommended to patch test and adjust the frequency of use according to your skin condition.
2. Skin barrier body lotion formula:
This formula focuses on strengthening the skin barrier and providing deep hydration. It contains key ingredients like Ceramide Complex, Ceramide 2, Cholesterol, and Phospholipid, which are main components of the natural skin barrier. These help strengthen the skin, reduce water loss, keep the skin moisturized, soft, reduce roughness, and improve the skin's healing process, allowing marks to fade faster. It also contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Acetyl Glucosamine, which help with dark spots and wrinkles, as well as many other moisturizing and soothing ingredients such as Shea Butter, LipidSoft™ Moist, MOIST72™, Glycerin, Panthenol, Bisabolol. This formula is highly suitable for addressing your concerns about dry, rough skin, wrinkles, and slow fading scars.
3. Sunscreen body lotion SPF 50 PA+++ (Not waterproof):
This formula is a body sunscreen lotion. Its main ingredients are Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which are physical sunscreens that protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays at SPF 50 PA+++. Using sunscreen is crucial for preventing existing skin problems (wrinkles, dark spots, roughness) from worsening and preventing new problems from occurring. This formula contains some nourishing and antioxidant ingredients such as Tocotrienols, Grape Seed Extract, Plankton GP4G™, Vitamin E, but its primary focus is sun protection.
Summary:
- If you want to focus on directly addressing rough skin, bumpy skin, and helping with marks, the Exfoliant body lotion formula is a good option, but it should be used carefully, monitoring your skin's response.
- If you want to focus on nourishing the skin to be strong, moisturized, reduce roughness, wrinkles, and help scars fade faster, the Skin barrier body lotion formula will comprehensively address the concerns you have.
- The Sunscreen body lotion formula is a product that is essential for daily use to protect the skin from sunlight, which is a major factor causing skin aging and various problems. It should be used in conjunction with a body lotion.
You can choose the formula that best suits your primary needs, or you may consider using both a body lotion (Formula 1 or 2) along with the sunscreen lotion (Formula 3) for the best results. Our team is ready to provide further consultation if you wish to adjust or add other ingredients.
Thank you,
