Oily Skin Moisturizer for Very Dry Region
Hello all,
I am trying to formulate a face moisturizer for oily skin specially for very dry regions, I have used glycerin, panthenol, propanediol, betaine & oils is there any other ingredient that I can to use to make the moisturizer better and not heavy?
Also I am looking for some suggestions for replacement of zinc PCA for sebum reduction.

For Zinc PCA replacement…you could look at niacinamide.
You could also look at some matteing agents…. like rice startch, and maybe some silica.
Regarding oily skin…just eliminate the natural oils/butters….and use esters. I find Dicaprylyl carbonate rather magical in this arena.

Counter-intuitive to most, common sense to some
– is that a good face oil blend can do wonders for dry skin. And I prefer these over lotions and creams.I have been formulating and manufacturing for 20 years, and a well-formulated face oil has done wonders for the sales of my Private Label customers. In recent times it has become a high-demand product, outselling lotions/creams full of preservatives and synthetics.
And this is the prime advantage of a well-formulated face oil. You will not find fillers and other gunk that can complicate and aggravate your skin.
And I will usually formulate a number of oils in the product, depending on my client’s requirements. A single oil often does not come up to the mark.
A well-formulated face oil absorbs quickly and evenly into your skin, smoothing patchy skin. And when blending, and depending on my client’s requirements, I will formulate essential oils into the blend. For example, to convey a sense of well-being.
