  Night Cream

  Posted by Lainee on August 25, 2017 at 3:27 am

  So here’s a rundown:

  A. Cetyl Alcohol-1
      Ceteareth-6 (and) Stearyl Alcohol-1.5
      Ceteareth 25-2
      Glyceryl Stearate & PEG-100 Stearate-3
      Hydrogenated Polydecene- 6.5
      Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride- 6.5
      Potassium Cetyl Phosphate-1.5
  
  B. Water- 35.3
      Glycerin-4
      Propylene Glycol- 3
      TEA-1

  C. Cyclopentasiloxane-15
      Dimethicone-2
   Cyclopentasiloxane & Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer- 5
      Titanium Dioxide (and) Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate (BTD)-4
      Silica-2

  D. Polymethylsilsesquioxane- 6
      Arbutin- 0.2
      Euxyl PE-0.5
      Vit. E-1

  So my problem is that, it is thick but still ‘”flowy”. It is like a lotion. I want something like Olay and Ponds. What should I increase?

  Also, there is still some undissolved BTD. How can I resolve this? Thanks.

  Wouldn’t a gelifying agent do the job?
