will this work to moisturize skin?
I don’t think we can give you skincare advice because this is a question to your esthetician.
But we can give you feedback on the formula.
- You have a lack of water thickener (in original product it is Xanthan Gum). It affects texture and stability.
- You don’t disclose which preservative you are going to use, so 1% might be too high or too low depending on specific blend.
- You want to add Vitamin E which is a broad name for several ingredients (Tocopherol Acetate, mixed Tocopherols, Tocopherol). Note that original product uses specifically Tocopherol Acetate to preserve oil, not every Tocopherol-like ingredient can do this.
- They use different emulsifying blend (Glyceryl Stearate + Stearic Acid + Cetearyl Alcohol and ). You want to use Emulsifying wax NF, which is Cetearyl Alcohol and Polysorbate 60. And on top you want to add Cetyl alcohol. Therefore the final texture will be creamier, while original product is probably waxier/harder (due to Stearic Acid). It is fine if it’s your intention.
