@KDC Thanks. After adjusting the ratio of dry oils & wet oils, the grease is gone. So, I do not use arrowroot powder. The ratio is 55/45.

@Sponge, I used corn starch for reducing the grease one time. Then I adjust ratio dry oil and wet oil. The grease reduces significantly.

I called suppliers to ask about sanitizing airless container s. They told me that I don’t need to sanitize them. Just use the containers from the box

@ngarayeva001, 100% natural is so difficult to achieve the highest performance, specially the emulsifiers. These two can save time and $ and improve the gentle touch and feel

@ngarayeva001, it takes me quite long to identify gelmaker emu and Sepiplus 400 are high tolerance oil phase in term of %.
thanks again

@MaisR, is it the same ingredient that is used on instant lift cream?
I also tried Hydrolyzed proteins, but the results are poor.
I will order WrinkleBlur from Making Cosmetics and try. Please post your results.

Thanks

If you put sweet orange essentials oils you will have nice smell

Why use 35% of salts ? It is at least ratio 1:1
the idea using emulsified scrubs is that when scrubs touched water the emulsion takes place giving nice feels for the skin

@em88, Thanks. I agree with you 100%. Sepiplus 400 without Easynow is not geltrap. Actually, I will try Easynow for geltrap later this weekend.

Thank you again em88.

@EM88, after reading article, I will email to SEPPIC to ask the safety of Sepiplus 400. I like it because it works for small % amount of oils. It is great for eye cream.

@EVchem
Try to use Caprylic Capric Triglycerides, It will improve the texture.

@EM88
I just try another small batch with only Sepiplus 400 and Caprylic Capric Triglycerides. Cream looks great.
