Without the ingredient list, you’re not going to get much advice.

1- glycerin
2- Carbomer
3- petroleum jelly
4- Cetyl Alcohol
5- Dimethicone
6- liquid German plusThis the ingredients I’m trying to found and alternative choice to replace is , please any advice
-
So you want alternatives that are cheaper? Honestly those aren’t (in my experience) expensive raw materials, and they can get much cheaper the more you are willing to buy in bulk.
Where are you located? That’s also going to determine which suppliers you can use -
The only one that would be cheaper is, you could substitute liquid Belgian for the liquid German.
-
We did try liquid Russian at one time. It was incredibly cheap but it came as an alcoholic tincture.

But honestly, at least an initial review of his list of ingredients shows that in most cases he is not likely to find a less expensive alternative or more easily obtainable material. The list is made-up of what could be called Cosmetic essentials (Glycerin, Carbomer (grade?), Petrolatum, Cetyl alcohol, Dimethicone and a very widely used preservative).

Mar haba.
That’s the problem you created with raw material supply, I am quite familiar with Nigeria, watch out for the mosquitoes, have you had malaria yet? If not, you soon will. I’d move back if I were you. In my opinion, you have the proportions of methyl vs ethyl parabens reversed. And why are you including honey… -
@Bilalhazk I agree with @Belassi why honey? tea? and you can probably find a butter that is cheaper, shea is cheaper here, but not sure over there.
-
@bilalhazk I doubt this is the case but by “tea” do you mean TEA (triethanolamine)? to neutralize your carbomer?
-
@bilalhazk sorry I didn’t realise you are making a cocoa cream . @EVchem he didn’t put the tea in caps. @Bilalkhaz you can ding can find xanthan gum in food stores, you only need a tiny amount to add to glycerin, just trying to help
