Revised Cold-Process Formula for Severe Dry Skin

Hello,

Thank you for providing the details of the formula you tried. We understand that the previous cold-process formula did not fully resolve your issues with dry and peeling skin, which contributes to wrinkles.

Based on your feedback, the staff has provided a revised cold-process formula specifically designed to address severe dryness and provide better skin barrier protection. This formula includes increased levels of moisturizing ingredients and incorporates film-forming agents to help lock in moisture more effectively.

Here is the recommended revised formula:

• DI Water: 37%
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol Pro Vitamin B5): 5%
• WaterLock (Polyquaternium-51): 3%
• Safe-B3 (Vitamin B3 Niacinamide): 5%
• Double Hyaluronic Acid (Double Hyaluron Liquid): 0.5%
• Jojoba Oil (Golden Jojoba Oil): 5%
• Satin Cream Maker (Satin Mousse Silky Cream Maker): 1.5%
• PFPE (perfluoropolyether): 7%
• Dimethicone (Medium/1000, Low-Odor): 5%
• Mild Preserved Eco (Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol): 1%

This formula adjusts the percentages of some ingredients and adds others like PFPE and Dimethicone to create a more protective barrier on the skin, which is essential for very dry skin. It also increases Vitamin B5 for added moisturization.

The staff recommends trying this revised formula consistently, applying it morning and evening for at least 3 weeks, to see if it resolves the dryness. If this formula still does not adequately address the dryness, a hot-process method using ingredients like waxes and butters, which require heating to incorporate, might be necessary for more intensive skin barrier support.
