Moisturizer
Hello, it is my first time making a moisturizer.
Main Goals: I want a moisturizer that provides hydration, soothes the skin, and is suitable for acne-prone skin.
Formulation:
-
3.00% Niacinamide: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and helps improve skin barrier function.
-
3.00% Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil: Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, helpful for acne management.
-
2.00% Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract: Rich in antioxidants and helps in skin conditioning.
-
2.00% Aloe Vera Extract: Provides hydration and has soothing properties.
-
6.00% Glycerin: Acts as a humectant and draws moisture into the skin.
-
5.00% D-Panthenol: Moisturizes and helps with skin healing.
-
3.00% Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: Mimics the skin’s natural oils and provides hydration without clogging pores.
-
5.00% Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: Emollient and moisturizing, with anti-inflammatory properties.
-
4.00% PEG 100 Stearate: Emulsifier that helps blend ingredients together.
-
2.00% Polysorbate 80: Emulsifier.
-
2.00% Dimethicone: Provides a silky texture and acts as a barrier to lock in moisture.
-
0.10% Citric Acid: pH adjuster.
-
0.10% Sodium Citrate: pH buffer.
-
1.0% Tetrasodium EDTA: Chelating agent that helps improve stability and effectiveness of the formulation.

Lower EDTA concentration to 0.1-0.2%
Suggest adding preservation vs fungi and Gram positive bacteria.
