White residue after applying cream

Based on the feedback provided, the white residue you are seeing after applying the cream is likely caused by Cetearyl Alcohol.

This can happen with certain ingredients depending on the formulation. To address this issue, the staff suggests the following solutions:

• Reduce the amount of Cetearyl Alcohol in your formula.
• Thicken the formula using other types of thickeners instead of Cetearyl Alcohol. Light Cream Maker is suggested as an example.
• If possible, add a small amount (2-3%) of Dimethicone (Light/50, Low-Odor). This can help reduce the white residue without significantly changing the texture of your cream.

The white residue disappearing after a while might be due to the cream fully absorbing or drying on the skin.
