I don’t understand that carbomer contributes the metal .
carbomer is used for water thickener. Why do we replace carbomer with xanthan gum? -
@pharma, ngarayeva001
Another ingredient called retinol. It has superior benefits of anti-aging.
Is there any chemical reaction between retinol + ethyl ascorbic acid + alpha-arbutin?Thanks in advance
-
@pharma, ngarayeva001
My hope is that:
Alpha arbutin & Ethyl ascorbic acid give dual approach by soothing skin to quell the inflammatory mediators that lead to upregulation of tyrosinase,
while also acting as a tyrosinase inhibitor to reduce melanin production. -
@Pharma, Thank you so much.
Would you please explain more details about cellular enzymes?
I hope that alpha-arbutin + ethyl ascorbic acid can help dark spotsThanks again
-
@ngarayeva001 and @Pharma, I just found the information said that ethyl ascorbic acid and alpha-arbutin are good for dark spots. Do you ever experience on them?
-
I do not think that hot and humid cause the problem.
i think emulsifier
try seppiplus 400 or
add xanthan gum and cetyl alcoholthe good of benefits for using Sepiplus 400 is that it is freedoms emulsifier.

Try Sepiplus 400 freedom emulsifier

Carbomer is not strong enough for water thickener? Why just increasing the percentage of carbomer?

we need to understand the % fatty acids profile of natural oils we used to formulate. Never overload the oleic acids that can cause acne, dark spots,…we also need to understand the active ingredients that can effect the skin in the good ways. -

Try using emulsifier Sepiplus 400

@EVchem! It looks like all ingredients that are claimed instant lift having the same limited to other active ingredients and oils
-
@EVchem, I am able to create nice cream that performs instant lift after 3 to 5 minutes. But, when I add other active ingredients such as moisture, wrinkle reducer, etc…to the formula. Then the cream still looks nice and soft. But the instant lift function is not working anymore.
-
@EVchem, You are correct. I got some ingredients that are claimed to instantly lift the face in 3 minutes and last up to 6 - 8 hours. This instant lift cream will be used as foundation.

Btms 50 suggested 3.5%
remove cyclomethicone
Cetyl alcohol 2% -

The results are very nice without any thickeners. The cream is easy to spread, soft. I tested it with cold temperature, room temperature, high temp up to 40 C. It is still in good condition during 48 days.

@MaisR, just found “ skin tight” that makes skin tightening and lift making wrinkles gone
but lasts only 2 hours- that’s not so good. -
