Stable cream base
Hi esteemed chemists here, i have made an experimental cream using this base, its thick and smooth in texture. But am worried if the PEG 75 LANOLIN may be comedogenic and lead to breakouts. I welcome views and suggested swaps, ommissions or adjustments on any of the ingredients.
Thanx .

Thank you Abdullah, any other comments on that formular?

Preservative is not enough. And i think you don’t have emulsifier

@AZIZ_KALUNGI256 Not sure 0.2% of TEA would be enough to neutralize Stearic acid to make it work as emulsifier. Also, phenoxyethanol is not a broad spectrum preservative (you might want to add Sodium benzoate, and EDTA to boost your preservative system).
