Congratulations

i just wanted someone to tell me if these percentages are “good” or not, for a regular simple moisturize cream

Abdullah said:

Adjust your percentages. They don’t equal 100ml or 150ml.

These ingredients at these amounts work fine. Have you tried them?
Was there any problem?

sorry my mistake. on face cream silicone is 2% not 3%.

yes, it seems good with good feeling.

Hi Alex,
you are basically asking us to make the formula for you. If you need help with formulating, you can talk to some chemist directly and maybe buy some consultation time.

Or try to input your percentages, let’s see if you know what you’re doing and we can help you to check the formula.  

Thank you Paprik!

My current percentages are these
Face cream (100ml)
84 water
3 glycerin
1 betaine
4 polawax
1 beeswax
3 shea butter
1 preservative 12
1 vitamin b complex
3 silicone

Body cream (150ml)
125 water
4 glycerin
5 polawax
2 beeswax
4 shea butter
4 olive oil
4 sunflower oil
1.5 preservative 12

Anyone?

Thank you ALL of you for your precious help and advices. I will stay with polawax, at least for now!

Whether you need another emulsifier or not depends on whether your product is stable. If the formula is stable with a single emulsifier, you don’t need another one. If it’s not, adding an additional emulsifier may improve stability.

Thank you Perry! Does beeswax and corn starch increase stability or not?

It’s not 100% necessary.
Do you encounter any problem with only one emulsifier or not?

Thank you! After 3 months the appearance of the emulsion seems stable.

Okay, so you tested it for a long time on your own face. Wouldn’t it be up to YOU to tell US whether or not this formulation is any good? I mean, how the heck are we supposed to know how YOU feel after applying that cream on YOUR face for MONTHS. At least show us a before-after picture! :smiley:

You are right! ::blush:

Well… errr… there are several different Polawax varieties available. They’re commonly PEGylated and PPGylated fatty acid derivatives. PEG and PPG are derived from mineral oil, so is your preservative and sometimes certain B vitamins such as niacinamide too. Hence, your claim doesn’t add up.

Mix it, try it and see if it’s stable and how it performs .

Thank you for your respond my polawax is polawax gp200. Also, my real question is if this formula is ok for everyday hydration. I made a 100ml recipe and after 3-4 months seem was stable without bacteria or smell. Also, i tested it on my face and seems was ok with a good feeling without irritations.
